Hybrid down / fiber jacket with hood from the Arc & # 39; teryx brand for men. Warm, light and resistant, perfect as a middle layer or as a separate third layer in dry winter activities.
It belongs to the AR range , whose products are characterized by the high performance of materials and by having a high level of versatility and can be used in multiple activities.
The Thorium AR Hoody is a jacket filled with high quality down. The 750 fill power gray goose down achieves the highest levels of thermal comfort per material used, since an ounce of feather (28 grams) occupies an uncompressed volume of 750 cubic inches (slightly more than 12 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 its Coreloft & trade; synthetic fiber in locations more prone to moisture build-up such as hem, armpits and hood. 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 Thorium AR Hoody, the amount of padding is 140 in the hem and 80 grams per square meter of fiber in the hood and armpits. 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; 30 consists of a material made of 100% Nylon with a very good durability being very light and easy to compress. It has been finished with DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment that provides water repellency.
Preformed sleeves with articulated elbows. Regular cut of the garment to allow free and comfortable movement of the body during activity, ensuring good interior ventilation and comfort. 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 using an elastic strap and the back hem is slightly longer to allow the body to flex without exposing the lower back.
The StormHood & trade; hood is water-repellent and has thermal insulation to protect us from unexpected rain during activity or to add more warmth when conditions require it. This hood is also pre-shaped for use with a helmet and is quick-adjusting with an elastic cord.
Full front zip No Slip Zip & trade; with speed bumps in the neck area, drawstring pulls that reduce noise and are easy to hold and a chin guard. Two exterior zippered pockets and an interior zippered pocket as well. Includes 2.5 liter transport bag. Approximate weight of 490 grams.
