ROUGH ROCK JACKET MEN<br />

The ROUGH ROCK JACKET is the latest<br />

technical offering from the <strong>Jack</strong> <strong>Wolfskin</strong><br />

Alpinism line. The detailing is comprehensive:<br />

four pockets, all positioned<br />

above the waist belt level for easy<br />

access, venting pit zips, special Acrobat<br />

Cut for better freedom of movement,<br />

water resistant zips and<br />

a Helmet Summit Hood, a special<br />

hood design with more volume to<br />

accommodate a climbing helmet,<br />

which can be zip-attached to the<br />

collar of the jacket at two different<br />

heights. As is customary for a highend<br />

shell jacket of this type, the main<br />

fabric, TEXAPORE AIR O3+ 3L, is waterproof,<br />

windproof and breathable. In<br />

addition, it is air permeable, an attribute which significantly enhances the already<br />

exceptional moisture vapour transmission rate (MVTR). In the resting state,<br />

the MVTR is 30,000 g/m2/24h. Air exchange (convection) occurs over the entire<br />

surface of the fabric, a process that accelerates with increased physical activity. In<br />

other words, the more active you are, the better the breathability of the jacket.<br />

The durability of the jacket is ramped up by the use of extremely robust, high breathability<br />

TEXAPORE O2 TASLITE 3L at the critical wear zones of the outer sleeve panels,<br />

shoulders and waist.<br />

SCANDIUM JACKET MEN/WOMEN<br />

The SCANDIUM alpine shell delivers the highest combined<br />

values for waterproofing and breathability currently<br />

achievable (hydrostatic head: 50,000 mm; MVTR:<br />

25,000 g/m2/24h). The jacket is constructed exclusively<br />

from <strong>Jack</strong> <strong>Wolfskin</strong>’s proprietary 3-layer laminate,<br />

TEXAPORE HYPROOF O3 TASGRID 3L. This shell fabric<br />

is not only extremely waterproof and exceptionally<br />

breathable; it is also very robust, light and has a significantly<br />

softer texture than comparable 3-layer fabrics.<br />

Due to the intelligent combination of lightweight fa-<br />

brics and stripped-down detailing, the SCANDIUM<br />

offers full functionality but weighs only 465 g (men,<br />

size L) / 410 g (women, size M). The detailing itself<br />

barely affects the total weight of the jacket, e.g.<br />

water resistant zips dispense with the need for additional<br />

covering flaps.<br />

Additional features include venting pit zips and a fixed<br />

hood with a reinforced visor. The front zip is slightly offset,<br />

which prevents multiple zips in the layering system<br />

bunching uncomfortably at the neck.<br />

EXOSPHERE<br />

Men<br />

The EXOSPHERE is a lightweight trekking rucksack designed for heavier loads. It´s extremely lightweight<br />

and technical, high tear strength CROSS RIP 100 polyamide fabric, hollow aluminium stabilising rods<br />

and stripped-down detailing mean that it weighs in at just 2.24 kg in the 75 litre version.<br />

Wherever possible, the designers have saved on weight, but not on functionality. Narrower straps, lighter<br />

buckles and integrated weather protection (no need for a rain cover) help shave valuable grams off<br />

the weight of this minimalist pack. The V-Transition carry system ensures optimised direct load transfer<br />

for heavier loads. Its ergonomically V-shaped rods are directly anchored to the padded waist belt, which<br />

distributes the load onto the hips and relieves the shoulders.<br />

The EXOSPHERE rucksack is a top choice for long treks or ski mountaineering trips, where lots of kit<br />

often needs to be carried.<br />

VAPOR TRAIL JACKET MEN/WOMEN<br />

<strong>Jack</strong> <strong>Wolfskin</strong>’s VAPOR TRAIL JACKET is a lightweight<br />

(men: 290 g, women: 255 g) weatherproof shell from<br />

the brand’s new Active Trail line and is suitable for<br />

dynamic outdoor activities like trail running, fast<br />

and light alpinism and Nordic Walking. It is made<br />

from TEXAPORE AIR O2+ MINIRIP DT 2.5L, an innovative<br />

new shell fabric that was specifically developed<br />

for this type of activity profile. The fabric<br />

is very light, waterproof, air permeable and dynamically<br />

breathable, which means that the breathability<br />

performance increases with the level of intensity of the<br />

activity. In other words, the more you move, the better the<br />

breathability. The 2.5 layer construction dispenses with the<br />

need for an additional lining. The jacket stows neatly and<br />

compactly in its own chest pocket, thus saving valuable space in<br />

your pack.<br />
