PolarLoft® for cold and wet environments

PolarLoft® Featherless synthetic thermal insulation is suitable for cold and permanently damp conditions. It is not affected by moisture, dries quickly, and meets all the criteria to be a great candidate for your new climbing gear. This material offers an excellent warmth-to-weight ratio in an exceptionally small volume, so the jacket will take up minimal space in your backpack or on your harness. Polarloft® Featherless is filled into chambers like down, in small clusters, thanks to which it has a much greater loft and is softer and more flexible than traditional synthetic insulations that are inserted into chambers in whole sheets.



Easy to put on over outer layers

The COMPRESSOR ¾ PANT features full-length YKK® zips, allowing you to easily put them on whenever needed. You can easily put them on or take them off without having to remove your boots or bindings. They can also be worn over ski boots. They are the ideal companion for demanding winter ski touring trips where minimal weight and maximum performance are required. Whether at the summit or anytime during the ascent, simply put on the pants and they will warm you up instantly.
