Forclaz MT 500

Protects against wind during trekking tours in cool weather. This softshell jacket is the ideal solution for changing weather conditions due to its versatile features. Slim fit: a warming second layer, such as a microfleece, can be worn underneath the jacket. Wind significantly increases the perception of cold. At an outside temperature of 0 °C and a wind speed of 20 km/h, the perceived temperature is -10 °C. Windproof components help reduce such wind chill effects. Wind does not penetrate, and the loss of body heat is effectively prevented. It features 2 zippered side pockets and 1 zippered chest pocket. The main material of the jacket is equipped with a windproof membrane (except for the sides). The performance value of this membrane is 2,814 g/m² / 24 hrs. (according to JIS 1099 A standard). Adjustable with a drawstring and stopper. Water-repellent spray for leather and textiles for re-impregnating the fabric. Optimizes the performance of your garment throughout its entire lifespan. A fabric is water-repellent when water beads off the surface without being absorbed. The fabric does not become saturated but remains light and warm. This property is achieved through a special treatment of the outer fabric, but it diminishes over time.
