- DualZipper™
- OpenAirFlow™
The DualZipper™ system provides dual opening from both the top and bottom of the jacket, allowing you to easily adjust airflow and optimize thermoregulation. The bottom opening also ensures quick access to your shorts’ waistband. The zipper is waterproof to guarantee full protection against the elements.
This snap-button tab allows you to keep the jacket partially open to improve airflow inside and optimize thermoregulation. When closed, it keeps the jacket securely in place on your shoulders, even when running at very high speeds.
- Sealing Cordlocker (Rainshell)™
Minimalist and intuitive, this elastic drawcord with cord lock allows you to tighten the bottom of the jacket to reduce heat loss.

Weighing just 50g/m², this world's lightest 3-layer membrane guarantees waterproofing and breathability even after hours of running. Made with an inner and outer layer of chain and woven fabric weighing just 15g/m² and a 20,000 Schmerber membrane with a RET < 4.5, this construction ensures the perfect balance of protection, lightness, waterproofing, and breathability. Its Drytech C0 treatment ensures that water molecules are consistently repelled from the surface of the fabric to maximize waterproofing.
The dimensions of this pocket have been carefully designed to compact the jacket inside, making it easy to store in your belt or pack. Easy and intuitive to use, you simply fold the jacket into the pocket to instantly reduce its volume.
Located at the back of the jacket, under the hood, this pocket can also be used to store the hood when not in use.
The front of this hood is intentionally stiffer to create a protective visor against rain. Compatible with a beanie or cap, this panel provides structure for a fit that moves with your head, allowing you to focus on the trail.
Placed at the back of the jacket, this gusset allows it to be worn over a 12 liter pack, ensuring full protection of your gear. Thanks to its pleated and bonded construction, it adjusts the volume of the jacket to automatically adapt to your load.
Placed at the front of the jacket, these gussets increase volume around the flasks to ensure ultimate comfort and full freedom of movement. Even under heavy load, you will no longer feel any sense of compression.
Made with EverdryAero™ fabric, this headband ensures a secure hold of the hood, even in strong winds.

This fabric features a dual-layer construction with merino wool on the inside for excellent thermoregulation and polyamide on the outside for enhanced durability. With a weight of 155 g/m², combined with a Drytech C0 water-repellent treatment, it provides ideal protection. In practice, the hollow fibers of merino wool can absorb up to 20% of their weight in moisture, which is then warmed by the body, creating an effective thermal barrier against the outside, similar to a neoprene wetsuit.
This strategic body mapping, based on areas of heat loss, involves placing fabrics with different thermoregulation and breathability properties in key zones. The upper torso and shoulders use a higher-weight fabric to maximize warmth, while low-loss areas such as the sides are made with a more breathable material. The result is the perfect balance of thermoregulation, breathability, packability, and lightness.
The front of this hood is intentionally more rigid to create a protective visor against light rain. Compatible with a beanie or a cap, this panel adds structure for a fit that follows your head movements, allowing you to stay focused on the terrain.
Whether at the hem of the jacket or around the hood, this seamless bonded finish eliminates friction for unmatched comfort. In addition to its clean, minimalist design, it slightly limits the fabric’s elasticity at the edges for an optimal fit and drape.
Positioned on the side of the jacket, this pocket is designed to hold lightweight items such as gloves or a bandana while running. When stationary, for example at a refuge, it can also be used to store essentials you want to keep within reach, such as your headlamp or phone.
- GuardLite™
- Full Zip™
This 54 g/m² fabric is a true technological achievement, offering the ideal balance between wind protection, breathability, and packability. It also features a mechanical treatment that tightens the fibers to enhance air permeability, along with a Drytech C0 finish. The result is one of the best materials for creating a highly breathable and ultra-compact windbreaker. Unlike conventional windbreakers, this fabric has no coating, maintaining a soft, silky feel with no noise.
This full front zip allows you to easily open the jacket to regulate temperature during effort and or access your pack. Its minimalist 3 mm design reduces weight and bulk, making the jacket lighter and easier to store in a trail running pack. It also provides quick and efficient ventilation while on the move.
- PackablePocket™ (Thermalshell)
The dimensions of this pocket have been carefully designed to allow the jacket to be packed into itself, making it easy to slip into your belt or pack. Simple and intuitive to use, you just need to fold the jacket into the pocket to instantly reduce its volume. Located at the back of the jacket, under the hood, this pocket also allows you to store the hood when not in use.
