Materials:

• Outer fabric made with 100% recycled polyester, which not only offers durability and resistance, but also underscores the brand's commitment to reducing environmental impact. This fabric integrates Omni-Tech™ Eco technology.
• Omni-Tech™ Eco Technology: Consists of a multi-layer construction that provides a high-performance waterproof and breathable barrier. The membrane of this technology is made with at least 25% plant-based materials, and together with the recycled outer fabric and sealed seams, ensures complete protection against rain and snow, while allowing body water vapor to escape to maintain dryness from the inside.
• Inner lining made of mesh, composed of 57% recycled polyester and 43% virgin polyester. This mesh lining is lightweight and improves the jacket's breathability, facilitating air circulation and contributing to overall comfort, especially in humid conditions or during physical exertion.
