Technical and ultra light down / fiber hybrid jacket from the Arc & # 39; teryx brand, perfect for all kinds of alpine activities thanks to its bodymapping design that offers a studied location of the padding for the total protection against the cold in the most demanding outdoor activities.
The Cerium LT Hoody is a jacket filled with high quality down. The European goose down 850 fill power achieves the highest levels of thermal comfort per material used, since an ounce of feather (28 grams) occupies an uncompressed volume of 850 cubic inches (about 14 liters ). This inflation capacity allows with very little weight to create a good layer of air between our body and the outside that perfectly isolates from the coldest conditions. This down is strategically located in the areas that should be better sheltered, leaving the synthetic fiber in those places of the garment that will be most affected by compression and sweating.
In this way, the Arc & # 39; teryx Down composite mapping strategically places your Coreloft & trade; synthetic fiber in locations more prone to moisture accumulation. Coreloft & trade; provides adequate warmth and necessary breathability. Coreloft & trade; It is a uniform material (it is not woven by means of warp and weft threads) formed by a mixture of multidenier silicone polyester fibers of various sizes, both in length and thickness; the shorter fibers are those that allow excellent thermal comfort by allowing air to be trapped in them and the continuous fibers give consistency to the whole and allow a good recovery of the garment after being subjected to compression. In fact, Coreloft & trade; It has been subjected to a process to compact it by 50% without thereby reducing its thermal capacities in the same proportion; In the case of the Cerium LT Hoody, the amount of filling is 100 and 80 grams per square meter of fiber, depending on the area of the jacket. Being hydrophobic material, it continues to keep you warm even when wet so it is an excellent material to use in humid conditions such as fog, storm or in case of excessive sweating if we have to increase our pace at a certain time.
The outer fabric Arato & trade; 10 consists of a material formed 100% by Nylon with a very good durability being extremely light. It has been finished with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment that provides water repellency.
Tight and technical cut of the garment to adhere well to the movement of the body during activity and to be able to use it without discomfort with other elements such as a third layer jacket, backpack or harness without forming uncomfortable wrinkles. The cuffs have been improved in this version to increase durability, facilitate layering and allow for easier removal of the garment. The hem of the jacket is adjustable and the back hem is slightly longer to allow the body to flex without exposing the lower back.
Its StormHood & trade; hood with down filling and drawstring is perfect to protect your head from the cold. It can be used with a helmet and perfectly follows the movements of the head so as not to disturb or obstruct the vision at any time.
