The Chinook jacket is a lightweight and protective outer layer, ideal for adverse weather conditions. The 2.5-layer membrane protects against rain and wind. The 20,000 mm waterproof rating ensures effective protection in heavy rain and strong wind. The integrated microporous membrane blocks water from the outside and effectively wicks away moisture produced by the body. Active ventilation eliminates excess heat and moisture. The water vapor permeability of 20,000 g/m²/24 hours indicates low resistance to evaporation, which is crucial during physical activity. The membrane effectively wicks away excess heat and moisture, preventing the body from overheating. As a result, the jacket offers a high level of comfort during outdoor activities, at the shooting range, and in adverse weather conditions. Taped seams provide additional protection for zippers against rain. They effectively block water without compromising the smoothness of the zippers. The practical YKK® two-way main zipper and Prym snap button keep the jacket waterproof and allow for easy adjustment while moving in the field. The outer layer is protected by a water-repellent DWR coating. The long-lasting water repellency increases the fabric's resistance to dirt, reduces saturation, and slows down moisture penetration. It is also free of harmful perfluorocarbons (PFCs). This makes the product easier to care for and helps maintain its properties over time. However, the coating loses its properties over time, so it is important to renew it regularly with the appropriate waterproofing agent. Functional solutions that increase protection, comfort, and improve ventilation. Adjustable hood. A 2-point adjustment allows for a precise fit, while the high collar provides additional face protection from the wind. Underarm ventilation. Zippered openings precisely increase airflow and stabilize the fabric during movement. Cuff and hem adjustment. Velcro-adjustable cuffs and a drawstring at the hem allow the jacket to be adapted to different conditions. The Chinook jacket is equipped with four practical pockets and functional accessories. Front pockets. Closed with a zipper, covered with fabric strips that limit water penetration. They are perfect for warming hands or carrying small items. Shoulder pockets. Zippered pockets on the upper sleeves protect documents or a phone from the elements. Compact size. Once folded into the hood, the jacket easily fits into a backpack. The jacket also comes with a carrying bag. Velcro panels on the shoulders allow for jacket customization.
