DIRECT ALPINE GUIDE 9.0 jacket
The men's GUIDE 9.0 hardshell jacket is designed for demanding mountain conditions where reliable protection from wind, rain, and snow is crucial. The slanted central skeleton zipper with two sliders and a high collar protecting the face including the nose reduce the penetration of adverse weather, while the inner pleasant collar lining protects the membrane from damage by beards and increases comfort. Openings in the collar facilitate breathing when fully zipped.
The large, three-way adjustable hood is designed to be worn over a helmet and also serves for compact packing of the jacket into a backpack. Long side ventilation openings are easily accessible even with backpack straps and allow access to lower layer pockets. The combination of a more durable fabric in stressed areas and a thinner one in less stressed zones provides a balanced ratio of durability, extreme breathability, and low weight. In the new 9.0 version, part of the material is recycled.
The sophisticated pocket system includes a large front kangaroo pocket for gloves, straps, or goggles, an inner zip pocket for valuables, and an additional sleeve pocket with a Recco® signal reflector. The reinforced extended back with an elastic element in the waist area ensures a snug fit of the jacket without restricting movement, complemented by adjustment of the lower hem. Wide cuffs with a large Velcro fastener and elastic band allow for easy pulling of sleeves over gloves. Numerous reflective elements including the central zipper increase safety when moving at night. Fully taped seams guarantee maximum protection from adverse weather.
