Product information "Karpos Castore W Jacket"

DESCRIPTION:

‘Once you put it on, you'll never want to take it off.’ That's how our Research and Development department described the Castore Jacket to us. A new and essential way of understanding essential garments for aerobic outdoor activities. Suitable for use as a mid-layer when temperatures drop, or as an outer layer, the Castore Jacket was designed for ski mountaineering, but we immediately realised that it could be used for much more. It's the jacket you always carry with you, the one you wear in the city to protect yourself from the cold, the one that accompanies you on your quietest excursions. And yet it transforms into a high-performance, protective garment when you want to feel the adrenaline rush through your veins. This means you'll never have to stop to take off or add a layer, simply because you won't need to. Made from Pertex® Quantum Air fabric with a DWR finish to repel moisture and dirt, the Castore Jacket offers warmth thanks to its Primaloft® Gold Active 60-gram padding (in the torso) and 40-gram padding (on the sleeves and hood). Weighing just 390 grams, it is lightweight, warm, breathable and highly resistant to wind and other weather conditions. Easily packable, it takes up very little space in your backpack. In short, whether you wear it or store it safely in your backpack, it's impossible to leave the new Castore Jacket at home.

Karpos

Karpos is an Italian brand specializing in technical outdoor apparel, with strong ties to the world of ski mountaineering, trail running, and climbing. Born in the heart of the Dolomites, Karpos combines its expertise in the mountain environment with a functional design and a vibrant style. The brand's philosophy is based on creating garments that combine lightness, breathability, and protection, essential for those who practice high-intensity sports in the mountains.

Key Features of Karpos Apparel:

  • Lightweight and Packable: Karpos garments are designed to be extremely light and packable, ideal for stowing in a backpack without bulk. The use of innovative fabrics like K-Dry (for wind and rain protection) and K-Shell (for breathability and stretch) ensures maximum freedom of movement and minimal weight.

  • Advanced Breathability: Thermo Fleece technology and hybrid constructions are Karpos's strength. The company combines different fabrics in a single garment, placing more breathable materials in high-sweat areas and insulating fabrics where more warmth is needed. This ensures optimal sweat and body temperature management.

  • Ergonomic Fit: Every garment is designed to fit the body perfectly, following the specific movements of the sport. Flat seams, pre-shaped sleeves, and elasticized details reduce friction and improve comfort, allowing the athlete to focus completely on their performance.

  • Iconic and Colorful Design: Karpos's aesthetic is distinguished by its bold and vibrant color combinations, which make the apparel not only functional but also immediately recognizable. This style reflects the energy and joy of experiencing the mountains.

Karpos is the perfect brand for athletes seeking reliable, high-performance technical apparel that is also lightweight, functional, and features a distinctive design.
