Salewa Sella 3L Powertex Jacket M - Unisex's backcountry ski jacket

Whether you’re searching for meter-deep powder, exploring steep couloirs in the Dolomites, or ski touring on the slopes for training purposes: The Sella 3 Layers Powertex Hardshell Jacket combines reliable weather protection—essential in harsh conditions—with high breathability for strenuous ascents and fast descents. Waterproof & Breathable This lightweight hardshell jacket features an athletic fit and an ergonomic cut that allow for a high degree of freedom of movement. To guarantee maximum protection from wind and weather, Salewa’s Powertex outer fabric is used, combining high functionality, versatility, and durability. The Powertex fabric used here has a water column rating of 20,000 millimeters—ensuring ideal protection against moisture, especially on the hood, shoulders, and sleeves. The water column rating describes the pressure required for water to penetrate the fabric. The Powertex fabric also excels in terms of breathability: The MVTR value indicates the amount of liquid evaporated per square meter in 24 hours. At 20,000 g/m²/24h, the material used is extremely breathable. The seams are fully taped, and the material features a PFC-free DWR (Durable Water Repellent) finish. Made for Winter With features such as the helmet-compatible hood—which offers optional volume expansion via a zipper and a storm visor—and the Direct Access chest pocket, the hardshell was specifically designed for winter alpine adventures. The chest pocket, featuring an innovative Direct Access zipper with a double slider, allows for quick and easy access to your avalanche transceiver or the layers underneath. In addition, the hardshell features water-repellent YKK zippers, easy-to-open underarm ventilation zippers, and a removable snow skirt. The additional large chest pocket provides space for gloves or skins. The cuffs can be adjusted with Velcro fasteners and close neatly over gloves. The Sella 3-Layer Powertex Hardshell Jacket for men is designed for freedom of movement and functionality on ski tours—giving you the freedom to head out even in the harshest weather conditions.
