Technical details:

1. Materials:

   • Main fabric: The body of the jacket is made of softshell , made from nylon and polyester . This material is wind-resistant , water-repellent and durable . It protects against cold wind conditions and light rain while allowing moisture generated by exercise to evaporate, ensuring optimal breathability .
   • Insulation : The Karpos Lot W Jacket uses lightweight Primaloft® or other synthetic insulation, primarily in areas where warmth is needed most (such as the chest and back). This insulation provides thermal protection while being lightweight and compressible.
   • Water Repellent Treatment : The outer fabric is treated with a durable water repellent (DWR) coating to repel water and keep the jacket dry in light showers or snow.

2. Breathability and heat management:

   • Optimized Venting : The jacket is designed to maximize airflow and moisture wicking, thanks to strategic ventilation zones , often located under the arms or on the back. These ventilation zones allow perspiration to escape and maintain a comfortable body temperature, even during intense efforts.
   • Hybrid thermal design : The Karpos Lot W Jacket uses a combination of insulating zones and lighter, breathable fabrics to provide effective thermal regulation, particularly appreciated during long physical activities.

3. Weather protection:

   • Windproof : The softshell used in the jacket provides windproof protection against cold weather conditions, making it ideal for strong wind conditions.
   • Adjustable Hood : The jacket features an adjustable hood that provides extra protection from the cold and rain. It is designed to fit snugly around the head, even with a ski or bike helmet.
   • Adjustable cuffs and hem : The cuffs are adjustable to ensure better insulation and prevent cold air from entering. The hem can also be adjusted using a drawstring, providing a personalized fit and preventing cold from penetrating the base of the jacket.

4. Design and ergonomics:

   • Ergonomic fit : The jacket has a slim and ergonomic fit, designed specifically for the female figure. It offers great freedom of movement and a comfortable fit, perfect for physical activities such as hiking, skiing, or mountain running.
   • Zippered Pockets : The jacket is equipped with zippered pockets , usually located on the sides and sometimes on the chest, for secure storage of essential items (such as keys, a phone or energy bars).
   • Seams : The seams of the jacket are often heat-sealed or flat-stitched to minimise the risk of irritation and friction during exercise, whilst keeping the jacket light and comfortable.

5. Practicality and features:

   • Lightweight and compressible : The jacket is designed to be lightweight , making it ideal for both intense physical activities and as an outer layer in cooler conditions. It is also compressible , making it easy to store in a backpack when not needed.
   • Reflective Elements : The jacket features reflective details to improve visibility during early morning or evening outings, which is especially useful when hiking or running in the mountains in low light.

6. Comfort and ergonomics:

   • Flexibility and comfort : The softshell fabric is designed to be both flexible and comfortable , allowing great comfort during repeated movements while providing optimal protection against the elements.
