Does it have a RECCO reflector?

Yes. An integrated RECCO® reflector helps rescuers equipped with a detector locate you in an avalanche. It complements an avalanche transceiver, shovel and probe; it does not replace them.

Does the hood fit over a helmet?

Yes. The peaked hood adjusts at three points and fits over a helmet for mountaineering or skiing.

How many pockets does it have?

Two zipped chest pockets and no lower pockets: the chest pockets remain accessible when you’re wearing a harness or a rucksack hip belt.

What's the difference between a hardshell and a softshell?

A softshell also has a thermal inner layer, whereas a hardshell provides no insulation. A hardshell has sealed seams and is fully waterproof, unlike a softshell, which is not completely waterproof.

Why choose a 3-layer jacket?

A 3-layer jacket is more durable and protective than a 2-layer or 2.5-layer jacket. This one has a 3-layer construction with our ULTRASHELL® technology.

What should you wear under this jacket?

Wear a technical base layer and, in cold weather, a fleece or lightweight insulated jacket. The jacket protects against rain and wind but provides no warmth.

How do you wash and care for this jacket?

Machine wash at 30 °C with detergent for technical clothing. Use a gentle spin cycle (400 rpm maximum) and no fabric softener. To reactivate the water repellency, use a waterproofing spray or tumble dry on a low heat setting.

What are the delivery times for this product?

If you place your order before 1 pm (excluding weekends), it will be dispatched the same day. Allow 2 to 4 working days for home delivery or collection point delivery within mainland France.

Can I return the item if the size doesn't fit?

Yes, absolutely. You have 30 days to return it and get a refund or an exchange. Return shipping is free. The item must be new, unworn, unwashed, and have its original tag.

Who did we design it for?

For mountaineers and ski-hiking enthusiasts who refuse to carry unnecessary weight, and for hikers who like to be well equipped. With its helmet-compatible hood, it can also be worn for skiing.

What makes it different?

Our ULTRASHELL® technology: a 3-layer membrane, waterproof to 20'000 mm and breathable at 80'000 g/m²/24h, in the lightest fabric in the range. Weight: 410g (size M).

How waterproof is it?

20,000 mm hydrostatic head, taped seams, water-repellent YKK AquaGuard® zips and a helmet-compatible hood with a peak and three-point adjustment. It also blocks strong winds.

How breathable is it?

It releases moisture vapour at 80'000 g/m²/24h, while the ventilation zips let heat escape. At high intensity, any waterproof jacket retains some moisture.

Protection that lightens your load without compromising your safety

It breathes with your effort to prevent overheating and fits every outing, from the approach to the summit.

Because in the mountains, going lighter should never mean compromising on protection: a jacket that keeps you safe without weighing you down.

In summary This content is written by AI

Customers are won over by this lightweight, breathable and highly packable jacket, which takes up barely any room in a backpack. Many have worn it in heavy rain and wind, while ski touring, mountain biking or hiking, and praise its waterproofing, wind protection and comfort. The adjustment points make it easy to fit, while the hood works with a helmet without obstructing the face. It is especially well suited to treks and outdoor activities where every gram matters.

At 1.84m tall and weighing 85kg, size XXL is a perfect fit, with enough room to wear a fleece underneath if needed. It's incredibly lightweight and very comfortable. The quality and finish are outstanding. The price is justified. I don't regret my purchase at all.

Great jacket, tested in heavy rain, perfect. Regarding breathability, I'm not too sure. The numerous adjustments are great. The asymmetrical closure looks nice, however, instructions for positioning the flap with the magnets would be very helpful, especially since they aren't very strong, so I question their usefulness! I hesitated on the khaki green (it was on sale), but it's really nice, doesn't it look too much like a hunter's jacket? In any case, very happy with the purchase.

Excellent jacket. Wind gusts at 4,000m altitude were easily tolerated. Great breathability during ascents at lower altitudes thanks to the side vents. Very practical pockets. Lightweight and easy to pack.
