KARPOS Lavaredo softshell jacket

Your legs move automatically: first one, then the other. You’re short of breath; your eyes search for the end of the climb. Your mouth twists into a satisfied smile as your muscles burn and your lungs fill with crisp air on a full-moon night. These are the sensations that Dani Jung feels in his moonlight training run up to Passo dei Salati, wearing the lightweight and warm Lavaredo Jacket. Easy to stash away and quick to put on, the Lavaredo Jacket is our lightweight, breathable jacket designed for trail running and fast hiking in the spring and fall, providing warmth, wind protection, and maximum breathability. Taking the Alagna Plus Evo, our hybrid ski mountaineering jacket, as our point of departure, we lightened and transformed the structure to create a new and innovative garment with hybrid construction. Combining fabrics with different characteristics, we created the Lavaredo Jacket, where the 50 g / m2 Polartec® Alpha® insulation provides the right warmth; the windproof fabric protects the core; and the 117 g Sensitive Plus at the bottom of the jacket, the center of the back, and on the hood ensures maximum breathability. The result is a jacket offering a combination of lightness, protection, and breathability that you’ll never want to be without. Features: - Insulation: 2/5 - Waterproofness: 2/5 - Windproofness: 3/5 - Breathability: 4/5 - Packability: 4/5 - YKK® front zip for faster opening. - Wind flap with zip garage. - Two front pockets with YKK® zippers. - Lightweight hood in Sensitive® fabric. - Draw cord at bottom. - Trim at sleeve ends and bottom. - Reflective inserts on back. Technology: Polartec Alpha: - Polartec® Alpha® is the latest evolution of synthetic insulation offering a rare combination of lightweight warmth and true breathability in a ´´puffy´´ style garment. Alpha® creates insulating loft but does not require down proof fabrics, allowing a sandwich construction with mesh and breathable fabrics for performance that´s not available in traditional insulation.
