Falketind Octa Jacket - Men's

Pertex is a lightweight and durable fabric known for its windproof and water-resistant properties. It is designed to protect you from the elements while remaining breathable, allowing moisture from your body to escape. This makes it an excellent choice for outdoor clothing and gear, ensuring you stay comfortable and dry during your adventures.

DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent, a treatment applied to fabrics to make them water-resistant. It causes water to bead up and roll off the surface instead of soaking in, keeping you dry in wet conditions. Choosing gear with PFC-free DWR means you’re opting for environmentally friendly protection without harmful chemicals.

Octa lining is made from multichannel fibers that create air pockets, providing excellent warmth while remaining lightweight. This insulation retains heat even when wet, making it ideal for outdoor activities. Additionally, it dries quickly and allows for breathability, helping to regulate your body temperature during intense activities.

Athletic fit clothing is tailored to fit more closely around the shoulders and chest, providing a snug fit for those with a more muscular build. It allows for some room in the waist, ensuring comfort and ease of movement during physical activities. This fit is perfect for active individuals who want both style and functionality in their outdoor gear.

Thumbholes are openings in the sleeves that allow you to insert your thumbs, helping to keep the sleeves in place and providing extra coverage for your hands. This feature is particularly beneficial in cold weather, as it helps retain warmth and adds to the overall comfort and functionality of the clothing during outdoor activities.

To maintain the performance of your Pertex gear, it’s recommended to wash it in cold water with a gentle detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as they can affect the water-repellent treatment. Air drying is preferred, but if you need to tumble dry, use a low heat setting. Regularly reapplying a DWR treatment can also help restore its water-resistant properties over time.
