Product information "8848 Altitude Malik Ski Jacket"

DESCRIPTION:
Exclusive ski jacket in the premium class offering extraordinary comfort, high performance and stylish design. The construction and fit of the jacket is balanced to work perfectly on a regular body type.
The durAtec® Extreme outer fabric gives the jacket good weather protection and breathability for skiing in most conditions. The jacket's padding is Primaloft® ThermoPlume®, a synthetic insulation providing superb comfort in relation to very low weight. The woven panels' channels on the chest and sleeves are made with seamless technology, both minimizing risk of leakage and adding a sober apperarance. Other parts of the jacket are insulated with 120 gram synthetic padding.
A design for further increased comfort is the integrated lining part in 3D mesh on the inside that helps transport moisture away from the back. The inner lining itself is light and smooth, and dyed with e.dye®, an climate-friendly method where no water is needed as with traditional dyeing.
The hood is removable and easily adjustable with drawstrings, the collar is lined with fleece. Snow and wind are effectively blocked with the waist's stretchy snowgaiter, the sleeve ends are closed with zippers and soft inner cuffs seal at the wrists. The jacket's YKK® AquaGuard® Vislon® zippers are waterproof. Excess heat that can occur during intense skiing can be vented out with the jacket's zippers under the sleeves.
The jacket offers generous storage with two lined waist pockets, a chest pocket and a concealed ski pass pocket with zip. On the inside there are two inner pockets, one with zipper and one open in mesh.
Stylish profiling with a metal "8" at the chest, a badge on the sleeve and a perforated 8848 logo on the inner placket. As a final touch, one pocket has a sporty stripe combination in contrasting colours.
