Product details
Reliable protection from the elements is a top priority in the mountains, regardless of the season. The lightweight and packable Croz 3-layer hardshell jacket for women fits into any backpack and is absolutely waterproof, windproof, and highly breathable thanks to the advanced Ceplex Pro membrane. The robust outer material easily withstands the harsh conditions of high altitudes and can endure occasional contact with rocks while climbing. In addition to the waterproof membrane (with a minimum water column of 20,000 mm according to JIS L 1092 B), the fabric of the Croz 3-layer jacket for women is treated with Eco Finish, making it PFC-free and resistant to water and dirt. The design is tailored to the needs of female climbers: the two large zippered front pockets provide space for maps, gloves, and more, and are easily accessible even with a backpack and climbing harness. The hood fits well over a climbing helmet but also sits comfortably on the head without obstructing the field of vision, thanks to its dual adjustment options. The sleeves are pre-shaped to ensure that the jacket does not ride up while reaching for high climbing holds, and the cuffs can be adjusted with Velcro. Additionally, the jacket features waterproof ventilation zippers under the arms for efficient climate management. All of this makes the Croz 3-layer jacket for women an absolutely reliable companion for alpine adventures in any season. The VAUDE Green Shape label stands for an environmentally friendly, functional product made from sustainable materials. As a member with Leader Status of the independent organization Fair Wear, VAUDE is committed to fair working conditions and fair wages.
