Spine Waterproof Jacket - Super lightweight and easily stowable waterproof GORE-TEX Active Shell jacket.
No matter what the season, rain, wind or even snow are simply part of trail running. But for passionate runners, that‘s no reason to stay at home. That‘s why a durable and waterproof jacket is essential.
The Spine Jacket is specially designed for intense action. The motto: be light and fast on the road without compromising durability and function.
245 grams light, the Spine Jacket has a water column of 20,000 mm and thus maximally dense. It is also maximally breathable. The combination of reliable GORE-TEX Active Shell and extremely lightweight outer material makes it a versatile and durable protection. The two large pockets on the front have room for energy bars, the map and gloves and hat. The mesh-lined interior of the pockets provides additional ventilation and dissipation of excess heat when running uphill. Reflective logos provide better visibility at dusk and dawn.
- The cut is specially designed for the female anatomy
