LIGHT AND INSULATING: SWISS WOOL FOR YOUR ALPINE TOUR
Very lightweight, technical insulating vest with SWISSWOOL for high alpine tours
Our new technical collection with Swiss wool for the alpine touring season! SWISSWOOL LIGHT PURE stands for EXTREMELY LIGHTWEIGHT INSULATING PRODUCTS that will impress with their excellent weight-to-warmth ratio. Thanks to a lightweight wool lining (60g/m²), they can be easily compressed and thus require minimal space in your backpack. They also ensure protection against damp and wind: the HIGHLY BREATHABLE (10,000G/m² / 24 H) MICRO RIPSTOP POLYAMIDE FABRIC from Toray, which covers the wool, keeps wet and wind out and is highly robust.
That’s why the DUFOUR VEST is perfect for demanding alpine tours where low weight, good insulation and sufficient freedom of movement are important. Swiss wool is moisture regulating. That means it can absorb and release large quantities of moisture (better than synthetic fibers), while SWISSWOOL can also provide warmth in wet conditions (better than down). Thus this light vest for women provides warmth just when you need it. The ergonomic cut, the armholes edged with elastic and the elastic seam ensure a perfect fit and sufficient freedom of movement. Your small items can also be stored in the two front pockets.
Whether in fresh wind, icy conditions or unseemly weather: the DUFOUR VEST is the perfect companion for your alpine tour!
