A new generation of membrane, co-developed by our French weaver
It is in the confidence of Payen, our material supplier, that the project of this jacket was born.
After prototyping the world's lightest layers (inside and outside of the jacket), it appeared possible to compete with the famous Shakedry, which does not have an outside layer (more fragile).
Outstanding performance for a new generation of membrane.
The membrane we offer is the first 3-layer membrane of its generation, marketed in pre-production.
It has a 20K* Schmerber waterproofing rating, a RET of less than 4.5, all for a 3-layer of only 50g/m2.
It thus opens the way to a new generation of products that are both high performance and resistant (3 layers).
A product co-constructed with a community of enthusiasts
To accessorize this jacket, we mobilized our entire community of ultra-trailers, through collaborative workshops, but also detailed questionnaires.
The product we have developed is the result of a collective reflexion that gathers all the functionalities our users have been asking for.
A visor, a headband and a collar that really protects the neck
In addition to the reinforced visor that guarantees eye comfort during the race, we have added a headband to the hood to ensure that the hood always follows the direction of the eye.
The collar goes up to the chin and really protects the neck.
Waterproof zip and snap fastener system
The jacket closes with a watertight zip and a snap fastener at the torso, allowing ventilation from below while keeping it closed at the torso.
A gusset in the back compatible with a 12L bag
Using an origami construction, we created a gusset in the back that allows the jacket to be worn directly over a trail bag. This allows you to be sheltered from the weather while protecting your equipment.

A word from the founders
"It was on these paths that we met... In 2019, we realised that we didn't agree with what was written on the labels of our clothes. And it was not possible to find a trail outfit that was both technical and eco-responsible.
So we threw everything away to create the outfit of our dreams. The one that travels more kilometers on our shoulders than in a boat!"
