Robust fleece jacket with a smooth outer surface that provides reliable warmth on ski tours and winter mountain tours.
The strength of the Durian Hooded Jacket is its adaptability. It is warm, moisture-wicking and wind-repellent. It can be worn solo on intensive ski tours and as a mid-layer in changeable conditions. It bridges the gap between Fleece and Softshell jackets and is an elegant alternative for minimalists.
The waffle fleece (270 g/m²) has a soft, moisture-wicking inner surface and a smooth, robust outer surface. The outside provides good wind resistance and keeps out light snow. The inside is warm and comfortable to wear. The elasticated hem on the hood provides additional protection from the elements. Thanks to the reinforced thumb loops, the sleeves stay in place when climbing or putting on gloves. Two zippered slit pockets and a chest pocket provide storage space for small essentials. With these features, the Durian seamlessly transitions from a comfortable mid-layer under a shell to a more substantial outer layer for intense activities in cool but good conditions.
The Durian jacket was designed with a clear focus on function. During strenuous activities, body heat can escape through the open front zipper. The Active Fit is not bulky and ensures a perfect fit under the climbing harness and plenty of freedom of movement. The Durian is a Fleece with many possible uses.
It also takes valuable steps towards sustainability. It is made from 94 % recycled polyester, which is obtained from old plastic bottles. Compared to new polyester, this reduces the amount of energy and resources used in production and uses plastic that would otherwise have ended up in landfill.
The Durian Hooded Jacket offers a good balance between warmth, breathability and protection and is the ideal choice for all-round use in the mountains at any time of year, from ski tours in winter to mountaineering in summer.
