Marmot

Refuge Jacket - Men's

NanoPro technology is a specialized membrane developed by Marmot that offers both waterproof and breathable properties. This means it keeps water out while allowing sweat and moisture to escape, keeping you dry and comfortable during outdoor activities like hiking, skiing, or snowboarding, even in varying weather conditions.

A powder skirt is a fabric band that wraps around your waist and can be attached to your ski pants. Its primary function is to prevent snow from entering your jacket when you fall or when skiing in deep powder. This feature is essential for staying warm and dry on the slopes.

A helmet-compatible hood is designed to fit comfortably over a ski or snowboard helmet without compromising safety or comfort. This feature is important because it provides additional protection from wind and snow while ensuring that the hood does not interfere with the helmet's fit, allowing for a secure and safe experience on the mountain.

Thumbholes are openings in the cuffs of jacket sleeves that allow you to place your thumbs through them. This feature helps keep the sleeves in place, providing extra coverage for your wrists and preventing cold air from entering. It's particularly useful in cold weather, ensuring that you stay warm and comfortable.

Fully sealed seams refer to a construction technique where the seams of the jacket are sealed with tape or a special coating. This prevents water from seeping through the stitched areas, significantly enhancing the overall waterproofness of the garment. Choosing a jacket with fully sealed seams ensures better protection against wet conditions.

A jacket that features both NanoPro technology and fully sealed seams offers superior protection against the elements. NanoPro ensures breathability and waterproofing, while fully sealed seams prevent water from entering through the seams. Together, these features provide a comprehensive solution for staying dry and comfortable during outdoor adventures, making it a smart investment for anyone who enjoys outdoor activities.
