- DualZipper™
- OpenAirFlow™
The DualZipper™ allows the jacket to be opened twice - both from the top and from the bottom. This means you can easily regulate the airflow to optimize your heat regulation. The bottom opening also ensures easy access to the belt of your shorts. Please note that the zipper is waterproof to ensure tightness.
This snap tab allows you to keep the jacket half-open to promote internal air circulation and optimize heat regulation. When closed, this tab keeps the jacket on your shoulders, even when you're running at very high speeds.
- EvenSafe 3L™
- PackablePocket™ (Rainshell)
- Bag Nest™
- FlaskNest™
- HoodBand™ (softshell)
This waterproof bag made from EvenSafe 3L™ material is located inside the large backpack and is ideal for safely transporting your personal items such as bank cards, passports and chargers. Because it is sewn directly to the rigid structure of the backpack, this bag remains very stable even when heavily loaded. The waterproof material protects your items from moisture.
The dimensions of this bag have been carefully chosen so that the jacket can be stored compactly and can therefore easily be slipped into a belt or pocket. Easy and intuitive to use: all you have to do is fold the jacket into it to instantly reduce its volume. This pocket is located on the back of the jacket under the hood and also provides space for the hood if you do not want to use it.
Located on the back of the jacket, this bellows allows it to be worn over a 12 liter backpack, ensuring complete protection for your equipment. Thanks to its pleats and bonded construction, the volume of the jacket automatically adjusts to your load.
These folds on the front of the jacket increase the volume in the area of the drinking bottles and thus ensure maximum comfort and absolute freedom of movement. Even if your backpack is extremely full, you will no longer feel any tightness.
Made from EverdryAero™ material, this headband ensures the hood stays in place even in strong winds.

The dimensions of this bag have been carefully chosen so that the jacket can be stored compactly and can therefore easily be slipped into a belt or pocket. Easy and intuitive to use: all you have to do is fold the jacket into it to instantly reduce its volume. This pocket is located on the back of the jacket under the hood and also provides space for the hood if you do not want to use it.
The front of this hood is deliberately designed to be stiffer to form a peak that protects against light rain. This piece pairs well with a hat or cap and provides a structure that adapts to head movements so you can fully concentrate on the pitch.
Whether on the hem of the jacket or on the hood - this thermally welded processing without seams ensures unparalleled wearing comfort as it prevents friction. This processing not only ensures a clean, minimalist design, but also slightly restricts the elasticity of the material at the ends, ensuring an optimal fit and drape.
This pocket on the side of the jacket offers space for lightweight equipment such as gloves or a bandana while running. When taking breaks, for example in the mountain hut, you can use the pockets to store things that you want to have close at hand, such as your headlamp or your cell phone.
