WOMEN’S Cross-Country Skiing Jacket – XC S Jacket 550

Our team has developed this jacket for cross-country skiing at average intensity and/or in cold weather.Thanks to its slim fit and padded front panel, the 550 soft jacket is warm and versatile. It’s ideal when the weather is cold.

Warmth

This jacket has wadding to keep you warm during your cross-country ski outings.
The wadding is a synthetic component based on a polyester fibre which traps a large quantity of air. Given the insulating properties of air,
the wadding provides protection against the cold.

How to stay warm and dry during my cross-country skiing outings?

We recommend the 3-layer technique.
Layer 1: second skin (technical base layer) wicks away moisture from the body to keep your skin dry.
Layer 2: insulating (t-shirt, fleece) layer that provides warmth and wicks away moisture outwards.
Layer 3: outer protective (jacket) layer that protects from the weather conditions: wind, snow and cold.

Adjust the number of layers to the level of your physical effort and the weather, and make sure that the clothing is breathable.

Why should you protect yourself from the wind?

Did you know that the wind makes you feel colder?
With an outside temperature of 0°C and 20 km/h winds, it will feel like the temperature is -10°.
So-called “windproof” components help to reduce this windchill by blocking the air flow resulting from the true wind and the forward motion of your sporting activity.

ADDITIONAL SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT INFORMATION

We have incorporated 70% recycled polyester in this product.
What does that mean? As well as being technical, this product has been designed taking into account its environmental impact.
In short: polyester yarn is made from petroleum. Using recycled polyester is to reclaim and repurpose waste products such as manufacturing remnants or plastic bottles instead of using new petroleum resources. And that’s already a step in the right direction, isn’t it?
