Waterproof ratings like 5K, 10K, 15K and 20K indicate how well a fabric can keep out water. The higher the number, the more water pressure the material can withstand before it starts to let water through.

A 5K rating provides basic protection for light snow, 10K performs well on regular days on the slopes, 15K is ideal for wetter conditions or longer periods outdoors, and 20K offers top-level protection in heavy snow or more demanding situations. These ratings help identify the right level of protection for different winter conditions.

Breathability indicates how well a jacket releases moisture from the inside. A 5K rating provides reliable comfort for relaxed days or lighter activity, while 10K offers balanced performance for a wide range of winter conditions. 15K and 20K deliver enhanced ventilation, ideal for more intense activity or varying weather.

All breathability levels are designed to help maintain comfort by allowing moisture to escape, ensuring a dry and pleasant wearing experience.

The RECCO® rescue system is a built-in safety feature designed to make it easier for professional rescuers to locate someone in the mountains. A small, lightweight reflector is integrated into the jacket and requires no batteries or activation.

In case of an emergency, rescue teams can detect the reflector using RECCO® detectors from the ground or from a helicopter. This system doesn’t replace avalanche gear but adds an extra layer of protection, helping rescuers find a person faster and more accurately in case of an accident.

Stretch fabric is designed to move with the body, providing more freedom of movement and a comfortable fit. A 2-way stretch fabric stretches in one direction, offering flexibility and ease of motion during regular activities. 4-way stretch fabric moves in both directions, allowing even greater mobility and a more dynamic feel.

This added flexibility enhances comfort and performance on the slopes, ensuring the jacket adapts to every turn and movement.

3M™ Thinsulate™ insulation is a lightweight, high-performance material designed to keep warmth in and cold air out. The fine microfibers trap body heat efficiently, providing excellent insulation without adding bulk. This makes it ideal for active winter days, offering warmth and comfort while maintaining freedom of movement.

Thinsulate™ is also breathable and durable, helping to regulate body temperature and keep the wearer comfortable in a variety of conditions.
