The Dakine Throttle Jacket is a windproof, waterproof and breathable shell that uses zonal insulation to provide warmth without affecting mobility.
| 2L Polyester Herringbone | A durable herringbone weave that provides a textured surface and offers high performance comfort by laminating a waterproof/breathable membrane to the inside of the fabric. The outside surface of the fabric is treated with a solvent-free DWR finish that provides the initial barrier to rain and snow. |
| DWR | A finish applied to a fabric that will bead-up water on its surface to stop it soaking into the fibres. This maintains breathability and shortens drying times.
Laminate: Waterproof rating - 15000mm/Breathability rating - 10000g/m2/24hrs.

| Waterproof Rating | This is measured and expressed as Hydrostatic Head in millimetres (mm). To find out the Hydrostatic Head of a fabric the manufacturer will take a clear tube and clamp their material over the bottom end. They will then fill the tube slowly with water and watch to see how high the column of water can get before the material lets drips through. The higher the hydrostatic head, the better the water protection. The European Standard a fabric must meet to be classified as waterproof is a Hydrostatic Head rating of 1500mm, and on average, outerwear fabrics tend to have a hydrostatic head of 10000mm and above. |
| Breathability Rating | Breathability is measured as a rating in grams of how much vapour a square metre of fabric will allow to pass through in 24 hours (g/m2/24). For general use, 10000g/m2/24 and above is desirable. It should be noted that breathable fabrics do not stop you sweating and care should be taken as to clothing worn beneath waterproof/breathable shells. High quality base layers and fleece or insulated midlayers should in themselves draw vapour from the body and pass it outwards, thus allowing the outer fabric to do its job. Cotton clothing should never be worn as part of a performance clothing layering system. |
| Tricot | Is a non-elastic fabric that will hold its shape for a number of years. Because tricot is fairly durable, the lining will also show very little in the way of wear or tear, even with frequent use. |
| Taffeta | A thin lustrous plain weave fabric that gives the inside of a piece of clothing a luxurious hand feel. |
| Primaloft® One | An ultra-fine microfibre insulation designed to provide the highest levels of combined warmth, water-resistance, softness and compressibility. It delivers superior performance when combined with the Dakine 2-layer shell fabrics and component lining systems. |
| Fully Taped Seams | Every single seam is taped with a high quality waterproof band. |
