ADV Backcountry Jacket - Women

The Craft Backcountry Jacket is a technical jacket designed for outdoor mountain activities, particularly cross-country skiing, winter hiking and other backcountry sports. It offers a balance of weather protection, breathability and freedom of movement, making it an ideal option for adventurers looking for high performance in difficult conditions.

Here is a detailed description of the jacket:

1. Technology and materials

• Waterproof and breathable membrane : The jacket uses a membrane that protects against moisture (rain or snow) while allowing perspiration to escape, which helps maintain a comfortable body temperature.
• Lightweight Thermal Insulation : For colder temperatures, the Backcountry Jacket features efficient insulation that retains warmth while remaining lightweight and non-bulky.
• Water Repellent (DWR) Finish : Durable water repellent treatment to repel water and snow while allowing the jacket to stay dry longer.

2. Design and cut

• Slim Fit : The cut is close to the body, allowing for freedom of movement without excess fabric. This also helps reduce wind resistance, ideal for windy environments.
• Ventilation : Mesh panels or ventilation zippers under the arms or in the back help regulate body temperature and prevent overheating during physical exertion.
• Adjustable Hood : The hood is designed to be easily adjusted, providing additional protection from the elements while not restricting vision or movement.

3. Practical features

• Multiple Pockets : Zippered pockets on the sides or chest to store essentials like keys, cards or energy gels. Some versions include internal pockets for secure storage.
• Adjustable cuffs and elastic jacket bottom : These features help lock heat inside and prevent cold wind or snow from entering.
• Reflectors : Reflective elements are integrated to increase visibility in low light conditions, which is especially useful if you are leaving early in the morning or late in the day.

4. Versatility

• The Backcountry Jacket is particularly suited to a variety of conditions. Its technical design and materials make it equally effective for light snow days as for more extreme conditions with wind, rain or heavy snow.

5. Style

• Craft also places emphasis on design, combining performance and aesthetics. The Backcountry Jacket is often offered in sober and modern colours, which makes it easy to integrate it into a range of outdoor outfits.
