BLACKYAK <BR /> Brangus Jacket <BR /> Winter 2018.19

The BLACKYAK Brangus Jacket brings new levels of ergonomics and range of movement to the Durably Waterproof garment class. The BLACKYAK Brangus jacket uses a combination of GORE-TEX® C-KNIT™ and the new for 2018 GORE® STRETCH technology.

The optimally placed GORE® STRETCH technology on the Brangus Jacket gives a freedom and range of movement in addition to a striking optic that sets this product apart from all others. To maximise the functional area of the garments and enhance its wet weather capabilities, we have used a 13 mm seam tape on all sewn seams. This works in combination with our new BLACKYAK Barrier Technology to reduce the moisture ingress through from the main garment openings around the waist, cuffs and helmet compatible hood. The pocket closure system on the BLACKYAK Brangus Jacket uses the “concealed, reverse facing zip technique”. This method places the pocket zipper on the concealed facing of the hidden main pockets. If the pockets are not closed, the reverse zippers will keep the inside dry, even in harsh weather.

Powerful and majestic, the Yak moves continuously up the mountain. Fully loaded with expedition material, these animals are used to strain and hard work. Their robust form has enabled them to survive the ice age, continuing under the most arduous conditions. They live in the Himalayan Mountains. Yak’s also benefit people in many ways. They give wool, milk, and meat. They are perfect for riding or transporting large and heavy loads. It is effectively the Sherpa of Sherpa’s. The best friend of the mountain climber. For these reasons, BlackYak has chosen the Yak as a namesake and company logo. It symbolizes the connection with the mountain climbers, the Yaks, the mountains, nature. BlackYak was founded in 1973 in Seoul / South Korea. The company aim was to make the climbing process easier for mountaineers by providing them with the best possible clothing and product. In short, BlackYak seeks to be just as valuable a companion to mountaineers as the Yaks. The development work of BlackYak benefit ambitious mountaineers, ski tourers and hikers. They all value the functional clothing of BlackYak, which offers them protection against cold, wet and wind. South Korea is the second largest outdoor market in the world. As domestic market leader BlackYak’s growth continues. BlackYak will celebrate ist market launch in Europe with a technical and functional collection with a strong focus on European style and body fit. Based in the centre of Munich, BlackYak has established it’s new European headquarters. An in-house European team with extensive global experience in the development and production of high end outdoor clothing takes care of the development of the collection, and a successful launch on the European outdoor market..
