Karpos Lot Rain Jacket - Hardshelljacke - Damen

The lightweight, versatile shell jacket that extreme mountaineer and former Karpos athlete Ueli Steck tragically wore on the Nuptse, even at very high altitudes. The Lot Rain Jacket is an essential item that should not be missing from any outdoor enthusiast's backpack. It is highly compressible, making it no larger than a tennis ball. With its clean cut, a single pocket on the front, and generous fit, this jacket meets all requirements. The current version of this jacket is the result of collaboration between Ueli Steck and Karpos, both in search of the best possible performance. Speed and lightness are two characteristics that belong to their shared DNA and have led to the Swiss Machine, as Ueli was called, encountering the Gecko trail, the trademark of Karpos, on his journey. The results of their collaboration have produced outstanding garments for high performance. The Lot Rain Jacket is made from an ultra-lightweight 2.5-layer material composed of 100% nylon. It withstands a water column of 20,000 mm and guarantees breathability of 20,000 g/m²/24 hours. Perfectly suited for trail running, mountain biking, and fast hiking. A small but valuable feature of the Lot Rain Jacket is the narrow closure strap with a snap button at chest height. A detail suggested by Ueli Steck to better control ventilation during his rapid ascents up to 8,000 meters. A simple yet practical solution that allows air circulation by opening the front zipper while still providing protection, making it very convenient for runners and mountain bikers alike. Regardless of the activity or the season, the Lot Rain Jacket is ideal.
