Today we open door number four, and how to choose the right shell jacket you will learn more. What type of design and shell? I hope to help you out well…
Before I have describe the hunt of the perfect outdoor pant, and I must say, I found them. The Lundhags Rocketer pant. Now I will help you out to find the perfect shell jacket. When buying a jacket, you must have the sustainability perspective. So choose wisely, let it cost. You will have it for a long time, and for all types of activities. So what is important to look into? First of all, if you will use the jacket for high intensive activities it must have high breathable ability. If you are going to use it for climbing, it must have pockets high etc. So first of all what type of layering should the jacket have. If you choose a 2 layer Gore-Tex, it will become more smoother. The zippers must be easy to use. If you are going to ski, it is nice if its going lower in the back. It shall have ventilation solution, and should this be placed under the arms or more in the front of the jacket? Well, as you understand you have a lot of choice to do. So here comes my suggestions: A three layer jacket will be more durable, but it will also be more thick, in this meaning it will not become so breathable. So a 2 layer or something like it will be preferable (for being more adaptive to different activities) A slim jacket will be best, but you must be able to build up a isolation layer under. A hood that is easy to use, even with one hand is preferable. So if you ar going to by one jacket for all, here comes my suggestions;
Klattermusen Allgron Jacket 2.0 as you can see this a jacket with a water pillars at 20 000, this meaning it is more breathable. This jacket got pockets so you can use a harness while climbing as well.
The next suggestion will be a Haglofs jacket. The Astral Gore-Tex jacket. This is a 2 layer jacket which is very flexible. It has a tight shape, with two high place pockets so you can use harness etc. It got a water pillrs of 28 000, and is a little bit worse due to breathable.
The last suggestion will be the Fjallraven Keb eco shell. This jacket got the Fjallravens own 3 layer system. Due to the production is fully sustainable and is produced for easy recycling. It got a water pillars at 30 000, but still got very high breathable ability. The packet are placed high for the harness etc. So this is also a favourite.
So now I hope you will have a easier choise of shell jacket…
The book suggestion of the day will be the Sarek national park guide book, hiking, running and mountaineering.
