The Kjus Warp Speed Jacket is exclusive to Snow + Rock in the UK and is built for the active and dynamic skier. 4-Way Stretch, Dermizax® NX fabric allows powerful, un-restricted movement and the very best in waterproof, breathable performance. A combination of lightweight, hydrophobic, synthetic insulation ensures optimum heat distribution even when wet; and the strong, race inspired styling incorporates subtle vents, which allow extra ventilation when you pick up the pace. Thumbholes allow the sleeves to be held securely in place whilst an internal snow gaiter and water repellent zips ensure that the powder stays on the mountain allowing you to push your limits on and off-piste.
| Dermizax® NX: | Exceptionally breathable, waterproof and windproof membrane technology with outstanding stretch properties. At its heart lies a non-porous hydrophilic PU membrane specially constructed on a molecular level that allows vapour molecules to pass easily from inside a garment to the outside. 100% waterproof, it is also environmentally friendly as it only generates in its production 1/10th of the CO2 emissions compared to other membranes. |
| PrimaLoft® One: | The ultimate microfibre insulation, it has one of the highest warmth-to-weight ratios of any synthetic insulation. Ultra fine fibres are specially treated and then combined into an insulating core that is incredibly soft, lightweight and water resistant. |
| Thinsulate™ Platinum Flex: | Durable yet lightweight stretch insulation that has excellent heat retention properties even in wet conditions. |
| 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. |
| Recco® avalanche rescue reflector: | Using sophisticated radar technology, the Recco reflector forms the passive element of a 2-part avalanche search system. Ski resorts and mountain rescue teams carry Recco detectors, which send out a search signal, and the Recco® reflector bounces back a directional signal that directs the rescuer straight to the reflector. More than 600 resorts and rescue services around the world use the Recco Rescue System as part of their immediate response. |
