Malone Jacket - Men's

The Stretch Stormshell Intuitive fabric is designed for optimal performance in harsh weather. Its stretchability allows for greater freedom of movement, making it easier to maneuver while skiing or snowboarding. The Stormshell feature provides excellent protection against rain and snow, while the Intuitive aspect means the fabric adapts to your movements, enhancing comfort and performance on the slopes.

The waterproof rating indicates how well the fabric can resist water. For example, a rating of 20,000mm means the fabric can withstand a column of water 20,000 millimeters high before leaking. This high rating ensures that you stay dry even in heavy rain or wet snow, allowing you to focus on your activities without worrying about getting soaked.

Breathability rating measures how effectively the fabric allows moisture, like sweat, to escape. A rating of 20,000g/m² means the fabric can release 20,000 grams of moisture per square meter in 24 hours. This is crucial for maintaining comfort during physical activities, as it helps prevent overheating and keeps you dry from perspiration, allowing for a more enjoyable experience on the slopes.

Fully sealed seams involve applying waterproof tape over the stitching of the jacket. This prevents water from leaking through the tiny holes created by the needle during construction. By ensuring that all seams are sealed, the jacket's overall waterproof performance is significantly improved, making it more effective in keeping you dry during wet conditions.

A removable powder skirt is a feature in ski jackets designed to keep snow from entering the jacket when skiing in deep powder. You can attach or detach the powder skirt based on the weather conditions. Use it when skiing in deep snow to prevent snow from getting inside your jacket, and remove it when you’re in milder conditions for added comfort and versatility.

To determine if the jacket meets your needs, consider the weather conditions you typically encounter and your activity level. Look for a high waterproof rating for wet conditions, a good breathability rating for comfort during physical exertion, and features like fully sealed seams and a removable powder skirt for added protection and versatility. If you plan to ski or snowboard frequently in varying conditions, this jacket is designed to provide the performance and comfort you need.
