CARBONIO JKT LIMITED EDITION
With the Carbonio ski touring line, ski touring brand DYNAFIT is breaking new ground to demonstrate the potential in the ski touring segment using premium materials, technical processes and unusual concepts. The line will outfit ski touring athletes from head to toe and will be available as of September 2016 at select specialty retailers.
The Carbonio insulated jacket is the best example of how to create a high-tech jacket for passionate skiers and alpinists using minimal yet technically detailed materials. Instead of a classic down fill, DYNAFIT fabric developers opted for a high-tech synthetic fill. Why? Because the fibers blended with carbon particles reflect the body’s own heat and create efficient insulation. The warmth to weight is thus significantly improved compared to other insulated jackets of the same type when it comes to weight and thickness. In addition, the synthetic fill offers easier care and is also more durable and longer lasting than down – a strong benefit with intensive use in the mountains.
A further reason for the use of synthetic fibers is breathability. The highest possible breathability and permeability in an outer shell is better achieved in combination with synthetic fibers than with a down fill. In other words: A synthetic fill promises a very breathable jacket. Nothing was spared when it comes to comfort either. Elastic is used for the waistband, at the wrists and around the hood.
At 260 grams, DYNAFIT has achieved the lightness of being with the Carbonio insulated jacket. To reach that weight, fabric developers focused on trimming back necessary materials to the bare minimum. The highly water-resistant Pertex Quantum® outer shell is the most premium and lightest nylon available on the market today. It is also used as the lining fabric in the Carbonio jacket. The jacket’s highly water-resistant zipper stops at the navel. This serves to shave weight and also cuts down on too many overlapping zippers in a layering system. In addition, the elastic draw cords were trimmed down and ultralight nylon was used between the layers.
The chest pocket was intentionally kept small and designed only to hold your most important personal items to not add any additional weight to the lightweight piece. This insulating jacket can also be stowed in its own hood and can be stashed in the smallest corner of your pack during the ascent.
Available in unisex sizing, 46/small to 54/XXL.
