Movement & layering redefined
One shell.
Hundreds of decisions.
01 / Fit & comfort
Comfort is
designed in.
Room to move. Space for layers. We refine the cut and fit around how you move outside and what you wear underneath.
02 / Construction & finishing
The work is
in the details.
Where a pocket sits. How a hood adjusts. How a seam is finished. Small decisions shape how the jacket feels and works, every time you wear it.

deconstructed
Select a detail to see what it does and why it matters.
01Hood adjustment
Make the hood fit you.
Helmet-compatible, with three adjustment points to fine-tune the fit around your head.
02Zips & fastenings
Tested beyond 10,000 cycles.
Opened, closed, repeated. Our zip has withstood more than 10,000 cycles in testing.
03Pocket placement
A place for the essentials.
Five pockets: chest, two hand pockets, a sleeve pocket for your ski pass and an internal mesh pocket.
04Underarm ventilation
Open up on the climb.
Underarm zips let warm air out as your effort increases, so you can adjust ventilation while keeping the jacket on.
05Adjustable cuffs
Fine-tune the opening.
Hook-and-loop tabs let you adjust the cuffs around your wrists and the layers underneath.
06Seam finishing
Protection continues inside.
Tape seals the stitched seams on the inside, covering the needle holes where water could otherwise enter.
07Fit & layering
Shaped for movement.
Articulated patterning gives you room to bend and reach. The regular fit accommodates up to two layers underneath.

Elk seizoen verbeteren we het ontwerp
Gedurende negen jaar hebben nieuwe stoffen, herziene patronen en feedback uit het veld onze hardshells gevormd. We herzien de pasvorm, constructie en onderdelen door middel van herhaalde prototypes en passen onze opgedane kennis toe in de volgende editie.
Prestaties, gemeten & getest
Ontdek het Cortazu Technology Lab™. Onze interne entiteit ontwikkelt specifieke stoffen die transparant en onafhankelijk zijn getest om twee keer de prestaties van de industriestandaard te leveren. Gedragen door outdoor-experts en in het veld tot het uiterste getest.
