Hydrophilic membrane, which is laminated to the outer textile material of sportswear.

Zippers of a renowned Japanese manufacturer, which are among the best in the industry in the world. Zippers of this brand guarantee quality, durability and reliability. Components of small size but of great importance, because their trouble-free functionality is usually a condition for the functionality and usability of the whole product.
Nylon 6 is used in a wide range of products that require high strength materials. It is widely used for gears and bearings in the automotive industry. It is used in toothbrush bristles, as a thread for surgical seams and strings for acoustic and classical musical instruments, including guitars and violins. It is also used in the production of a large number of threads, ropes, fibers, nets and cords for tires.
Nylon 6 has the potential to be reused as a technical raw material for the production of the new Nylon 6. It can therefore be recycled.
Detailed Description
Skis and snowboard
The Freeride jacket is a great helper, not just for all kinds of winter sport. Its main advantages are its loose fit, allowing you to maneuver on skis or a snowboard, the cinch cord above the waist, the snow collar, which can be detached and left at home if necessary, or the pocket on the sleeve for a chip ski-pass.
It’s also worth mentioning the hood, which is large enough to easily fit over a ski helmet. The hood has cinch cords at both the hem and around the perimeter at ear level, so you won’t find yourself looking at the hood instead of the landscape when looking around you.

Technology supporting performance
The three-layer laminate with a laser-cut Japanese A.C.D. membrane, with fully taped seams, will keep you dry whether you’re exposed to the rain, wind, or sweating on a strenuous climb.
The pockets have flaps and waterproof YKK zippers, they are large enough to be comfortably used with gloves, and their position means they can be easily used even when wearing a harness or backpack with a hip belt.
The hood is large enough to fit over a ski helmet and can be tightened in two directions, both at the hem and horizontally at ear level to keep out the cold, but also gives you a good view and doesn’t restrict that highly important peripheral vision on the ski slopes.
A summer shower or a cloudburst
The two-layer laminate with a highly flexible A.C.D. membrane boasts a water column of 20,000 mm and breathability of 25,000 g H2O/m2. In simple terms, this means that if you kneel in mud, for example, assuming the contact area is 10 cm2, you can weigh up to 200 kg and the membrane will not soak through.
Two-layer laminate simply means that the membrane is pressed together with the top layer of fabric with a mesh lining on the inside to protect against mechanical damage.
