[ EVO-SHELL™ / Construction Technology ]
NOT FABRIC. ARCHITECTURE.
Three layers bonded into one system. Each engineered for a specific purpose. Together they form the EVO-SHELL™ — a jacket that keeps water out, lets sweat escape, and moves with you in any condition.
Outer Shell
Tight ripstop nylon weave with DWR treatment. Water beads and rolls off instantly on impact — the shell never absorbs, never gets heavy. Abrasion-resistant against rock and ice. The first line of defence against the mountain.
- —50D ripstop nylon construction
- —C6-free DWR durable water repellent treatment
- —4-way mechanical stretch for unrestricted movement
- —Abrasion-resistant face for rock and ice contact
- —Reinforced cuff and hem zones
Sympatex Membrane
Monolithic ePE hydrophilic film — no pores, no weak points. Water is blocked by molecular size exclusion: water molecules are physically too large to pass through. Vapour escapes outward via molecular diffusion. 30,000mm waterproof rating. Never clogs, never degrades with washing.
- —Sympatex® monolithic ePE membrane
- —30,000mm hydrostatic head — exceeds alpine storm conditions
- —20,000 g/m²/24h moisture vapour transmission rate
- —No pores — cannot be compromised by dirt or body oils
- —Fully recyclable at end of life
- —Compatible with standard washing without performance loss
Inner Liner
Soft technical knit bonded directly to the membrane. Wicks moisture away from the membrane surface and your base layer. Maximises breathability output at full exertion. Dry from both sides — whether you're sweating hard or standing in a storm.
- —Soft-hand technical knit construction
- —Moisture-wicking fibre treatment
- —100% recycled polyester yarn
- —Bonded laminate — no stitching through membrane
- —Anti-static finish
