The Kjus Women’s Helium Jacket is exclusive to Snow+Rock in the UK and provides the ultimate in durable, lightweight performance and modern, athletic styling. The Dermizax® EV outer fabric is highly waterproof and breathable and incorporates 2-way stretch allowing you the freedom of movement that you need to get the most out of the mountain. Kjus’s hybrid insulation concept combines natural and synthetic insulation to ensure premium heat distribution and high impact performance. High quality Goose down is used in the front panels to provide exceptional core warmth whilst lightweight, quick drying PrimaLoft® One insulates the back panel and Thinsulate® Platinum Flex is used in the sleeves to ensure optimum mobility.
| Dermizax® EV: | Heavy duty, super durable laminate fabric that is soft, lightweight and easy to care for. It is exceptionally waterproof and highly windproof with greatly improved moisture permeability for enhanced comfort. |
| 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. |
| 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. |
