Description
The Descendit is a slim-fitting, hip-length women's ski jacket for skiing, snowboarding and cold days in town. Heatseeker hollow-fibre insulation keeps you warm on the lift, while DryVent keeps snow and moisture out.
Warm on the chairlift
The Heatseeker insulation consists of synthetic hollow fibres that trap air to retain warmth around your body. The slim, hip-length fit sits close to your body and lets little cold air in under the jacket. Hook-and-loop sleeve adjustments and a two-point hem drawcord close the gaps between the jacket, your gloves and your trousers.
Sealed against snowfall
Two-layer DryVent is a waterproof coating that lets water vapour escape, and the seams are taped. The powder skirt keeps powder snow out of the jacket when you are sitting in the snow after a fall. The hood fits over your helmet.
Ventilation after the descent
Underarm vents let heat escape when you are working hard in deep snow or sitting in a mountain hut. A wrist pocket holds your ski pass and also contains a goggle cloth. The matching Descendit Pant is available with snow gaiters and edge protection.
