General description :

The Craft ADV Essence Wind Jacket W is a lightweight and packable windproof jacket, ideal for running, biking, hiking or any other outdoor activity where wind can hamper performance. Its minimalist, yet functional design makes it perfect for athletes looking for a jacket that doesn’t compromise mobility while still providing good protection from the elements.

Technical details :

1. Materials and fabric :

   • Windproof Fabric : The jacket uses a lightweight, yet extremely wind-resistant fabric, which helps maintain a comfortable body temperature without causing overheating. The fabric is also water-repellent, providing protection against light showers or morning dew.
   • Breathable material : The fabric is designed to allow effective evacuation of sweat and moisture, so that even during intense efforts, the jacket remains comfortable and dry.
   • Water-repellent finish : Although the jacket is not completely waterproof, it has a water-repellent treatment to prevent moisture from penetrating during slightly humid weather conditions.

2. Cut and fit :

   • Athletic Fit : The jacket is designed to fit the body in a snug but non-restrictive way. It allows for great freedom of movement, while providing a sleek, aerodynamic look.
   • Raglan Sleeves : Raglan sleeves are specially designed to provide maximum range of motion, especially useful for sports where the arms are in constant motion (such as running or cycling).
   • Adjustable hem : The bottom of the jacket is often elasticated or adjustable, allowing it to be secured tightly to prevent it from riding up during exercise. This also helps to retain warmth and reduce drafts.

3. Wind protection :

   • Front Protection : The windproof fabric at the front of the jacket effectively blocks the wind, while ensuring optimal management of body heat, to prevent overheating.
   • High collar : The jacket is usually equipped with a high collar for additional protection against wind at the neck, particularly appreciated during outings in cool weather.

4. Reflective details :

   • Visibility : As with many jackets in the ADV range, the Wind Jacket W is equipped with reflective details, located on the arms, back and/or sides. These elements help improve visibility in low light conditions, which is essential for the safety of cyclists, runners or other athletes who train early in the morning or in the evening.

5. Ventilation and breathability :

   • Strategic Vents : Certain areas of the jacket (often under the arms or on the back) may include mesh panels or zippered openings to improve airflow and regulate body temperature. This helps prevent heat and sweat build-up, even during intense performances.

6. Pockets :

   • Zipped Pocket : The jacket may have a small zipped pocket, usually on the back or side, for storing small items such as keys, energy gels or a mobile phone.
   • Minimalist Pockets : The jacket is designed to be lightweight and compact, so pockets are often kept to a minimum, or even non-existent in some models. The focus is on performance and comfort rather than storage.

7. Weight and compactness :

   • Ultra-light and compressible : One of the main features of this jacket is its lightness. It can be folded and compacted, making it easy to carry in a sports bag or luggage rack on long outings. It is ideal for activities where every gram counts, such as trail running, running or cycling.
