Lightweight reflective jacket with artificial heat insulation

What to choose heat insulation? Or better will be the model of the panels on the sides or full reflective jacket for cooler conditions? Rather soft outer material and only waterproof or waterproof and stronger? Rather slightly or somewhat more solid? Questions when choosing a mountain of clothing is as always a lot – throw some light on a light jacket with artificial heat insulation.

 

In reality the mountain and the vast majority of outdoor light jacket – whether down or with artificial heat insulation – have their place in your backpack (or at least in the trunk) throughout the year. In the summer we use them most evenings in the camps, field tents and bivouacs while climbing, as well as in the morning, when we provide comfortable waiting for the coming of the sun.

 

Spring and autumn is a time of increased use of these reflective products; period of hot weather during the day significantly shortened, and mornings and evenings are beginning to offer frosts or, at best, a solid cold.

 

Winter jackets come into play heavier caliber; to make yourself a morning coffee, most often we reach for something “Armored,” just as soon as the sun disappears somewhere far to the west. Otherwise the case is during the day; when we are devoted to the activity in the ski race and climbing, and for that – although there is frost – we have a typical day “Lamp” and hard “Trolling” begin to feel uncomfortable.

The solution can only be one thing: light jackets by reflective fabric. They replaced the largely classic “Polar” and are now used throughout the year, offering skiers, climbers and tourist’s better performance in relation to its weight and more attractive, more modern look.

The new reflective jacket for winter

There are weather conditions that can affect our cycling trips throughout the year: wind, rain and cold are not always the prerogative of the autumn and winter period. It happens in fact to meet adverse conditions during a ride in the Alps in summer rainfall and deal with temperatures below 10 ° C is not easy with a traditional cape. North wave has recently marketed the ExtremeH2O jacket and hardly another name might be more correct. It is a reflective jacket that protects against cold, wind and water by offering the rider a perfect fit that enhances its aerodynamic capabilities.

 

To all this is you have to add the transpiration, important skill to regulate its own temperature. Unlikely these parameters are able to coexist in the same product, difficulty circumvented by North wave with the technological H2O Flex membrane. It is a membrane Super stretch inserted in the main three-layer fabric in a position to accommodate the maximum freedom of movement in the saddle. The declared value of water resistance is the usual 10,000mm but I assure you that the sealing of this jacket is excellent in every sense. I have no doubt to add it to the best proven leaders in 2016 and we are confident it will be a “must have” for 2017.

 

The cut is snug and tight just like to be a mesh midseason, but here we are in the presence of a jacket that can protect you from 18 ° C to 5 ° C without blinking.

The shape of the neck, sleeves and “skirt” Para sketches is the confirmation of what the concept Bitmap North wave evolved. The zip YKK waterproof and reflective fabric inserts inserted as graphics and along the edges of the tail and the back pockets perfected a head which proves excellent already at the table. Inside of life is a silicone band to keep it in place well head. The three rear pockets are comfortable and tight enough to carry around the need for a long output. This jacket is present in the list even in the version with short sleeves to confirm what the same North wave Extreme H2O see in a race garment in effect. As for the coloring, in addition to all-black version also a yellow fluorescent, ideal to keep always visible.

 

On the road there are a number of good reasons to buy Extreme H2O and make it a versatile jacket to keep always available. The tested with the strong wind, heavy rain and even with temperatures close to 5-7 ° C, to accompany an intimate mesh at both short and long sleeves, always with very good sensations.

 

The panels with which it is made are very elastic and ensures great freedom of movement then you will get the typical protection of a jacket with the thickness of a slightly sweatshirt mesh for a unique versatility just like the PRO wish. Wear it now defying the rain or try to replace the winter jacket with reflective tape to address the outputs with variable climate. If you have already planned a few days of cycling in the mountains for the next year, take it with you, it will be ideal to tackle long descents and the unpredictability of these atmospheric landscapes. The verdict is simple, the quality / price ratio, the Extreme H2O Jacket is undoubtedly one of the best products available.

Test of the super light windbreaker reflective jacket

Marmot, a small Californian company with 30 years of experience in the manufacture of mountain equipment, specializes in the manufacture of technical garments and accessories for outdoor sports activities and remains faithful to its slogan “Clothing As Equipment” or “clothing with reflective fabric is part of the material. ”

 

Each garment in your collection is designed and manufactured as an essential piece of equipment; Like a piglet, a rope, a helmet or a harness, nothing can fail and nothing is superfluous or superfluous, only the essential. “Keep it simple” or “do it simple” is the motto of the Marmot designers that as we will see is a determining argument in this windbreaker jacket for runners who like to run on the mountain.

 

Technical features and performance:

The Trail Wind of Marmot is a windbreaker that is characterized by its lightness, barely 120 grams, its pack ability or reduced size once compressed fits in a pocket, its water repellency and especially for its breathability.

 

It offers incredible wind resistance for the fine structure of its fabric that is 100% Polyester Rip stop and with DWR finish, which repels water from a fine rain and is also very soft, very pleasant to the touch.

 

It is stored in its own pocket, which is located in the chest and has a zipper, on the front the word Marmot appears in reflective. The same pocket allows you to carry your mobile phone with earphone output so you can listen to music. It has a hood that can be adjusted and closed with an elastic closure while running and that comes very well when the weather becomes adverse.

 

The cuffs have a lira elastic termination that prevents the entrance of the wind and the caloric loss by convection. The waist has an elastic adjustment by fastening easy and quick adjustment. On the back and on the right sleeve have other reflective logos

 

I love its minimalist design and the performance apart from its power to stop the wind this jacket stands out for the high breathability of the fabric, which positively influences the perforated areas that ventilate the areas of maximum sweating in the armpits and lateral areas under them.

 

The waist has an elastic adjustment by fastening easy and quick adjustment. The chest, back and right sleeve features reflective logos.

The regular fit more loosely allows carrying underneath a second layer of more volume. The cuffs have an elastic lira finish that prevents wind from entering.

Its performance for winds and high breathability of the fabric is that with zones micro ventilated in areas of maximum perspiration.

 

Improvement opportunities:

The regular fit makes it flutter in the wind and being a windbreaker for use on the mountain, it would go better with a tighter design, in a “semi fit” or “athletic” as Marmot calls them, something that we see in garments of his collection More Racing.

 

In short, this Wind Trail is a 2nd layer windbreaker technique, exquisite, light and very breathable ideal to carry in the reflective material backpack or simply in the belt of trail running. Thanks to its small volume and extreme lightness, it fits even in your pocket and is suitable to always carry with us the mountain, to put us on the descents and as prevention because you never know what you can find your way out in nature.
