Fiber vest of the brand Arc & # 39; teryx designed to protect us in cold weather conditions.
The Atom LT vest is light, warm, breathable and with a perfect pattern to allow mobility in any mountain sport, being highly recommended for activities that involve a lot of arm movement such as climbing, climbing on ice, snowshoes and ski touring or in other mainly aerobic situations. It can be used as an intermediate layer in extremely cold conditions. Comparatively, its insulation is comparable to that of a medium-thickness fleece vest but with a significantly lower weight and much greater compactability.
Perfect to use as an insulating layer since its Coreloft & trade; Compact 60 provides adequate warmth and the necessary breathability. Coreloft & trade; It is a uniform material (it is not woven by 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 Atom LT vest, the amount of padding is 60 grams per square meter of fiber. Being hydrophobic material, it continues to keep you warm even when wet making it 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 Tyono & trade; 20 consists of a material made up of 100% elastic Ripstop Nylon of only 20 deniers, which is why we are faced with a fabric that is as resistant and durable as it is light. It has been finished with a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) treatment that provides water repellency. In addition, it incorporates side panels made of stretch fleece , a material composed mainly of polyester (94%) but with a good proportion of elastane (6%) to increase mobility and breathability. The result is a highly adaptable fabric that breathes and disperses moisture with a very pleasant touch.
Tight and technical cut of the garment to adhere well to the movement of the body during the 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 hem of the vest is laminated and adjustable using two elastic pulls and the back hem is slightly longer to allow the body to flex without exposing the lower back.
The mid-rise collar consists of insulation and a fleece lining. It combines well with other garments.
Lightweight vest with great compression capacity, the result is a warm garment in only 240 grams of weight and compact in a very small size.
Full front zip No Slip Zip & trade; with custom TPU pullers and chin guard. Two exterior pockets with concealed zip and one interior zip pocket.
Lining dyed in mass. Materials compatible with the Bluesign & reg; criteria.
