MTN Air EVOLVE Hooded Jacket - Men's

Primaloft insulation is a lightweight, synthetic material designed to keep you warm without the bulk of traditional insulation. It is water-resistant and breathable, making it perfect for outdoor activities in cold weather. The "Primaloft Active EVOLVE" version is eco-friendly, incorporating recycled materials, so you can stay warm while also being environmentally conscious.

DWR treatment is applied to fabrics to make them water-resistant, allowing water to bead up and roll off instead of soaking in. This is crucial for outdoor gear, as it helps keep you dry in wet conditions. The "C0 PFC-free DWR treatment" means that the water-repellent finish is free from harmful chemicals, making it safer for both you and the environment.

Athletic Fit refers to clothing designed to fit closely to the body, particularly for those who are active. This style typically features a narrower waist and broader shoulders, allowing for better movement and comfort during activities like skiing, climbing, or hiking. Choosing athletic fit gear can enhance your performance and comfort while engaging in physical activities.

Two-Way Stretch Fabric stretches in both width and length, providing greater flexibility and comfort. This feature is especially beneficial for outdoor activities, as it allows for a full range of motion without restriction. Whether you're climbing, skiing, or hiking, this fabric helps you move freely and comfortably.

Backcountry refers to remote, undeveloped areas often found in mountainous or wilderness regions. Activities like skiing, snowboarding, hiking, and climbing in these areas can be more challenging and unpredictable than on groomed trails. Choosing gear specifically designed for backcountry conditions ensures you have the right protection and performance features to handle the elements safely.

The combination of Primaloft insulation, DWR treatment, athletic fit, and two-way stretch fabric creates gear that is warm, water-resistant, flexible, and comfortable. These features work together to keep you dry, warm, and unrestricted in your movements, allowing you to fully enjoy your outdoor adventures, whether you're exploring backcountry trails or engaging in winter sports.
