This jacket is the right solution when you want to continue to do physical activity outdoors, such as hiking or trail running, while regulating your body temperature. At Pyrenex, to ensure the best breathability, we calculate the amount of water the fabric lets through in 24 hours. The higher the degree, the more breathable it is. From 5000g/m²/24h, we consider that the garment is breathable.

It is the perfect garment to enjoy outdoor activities while staying dry. On cooler evenings, the piece can be worn with a fleece sweater for added protection against cold.
