EXCLUSIVE TO TREKITT
The Firefox Axel can only be found here at Trekitt and is perfect for general hiking, travelling, trekking and mountaineering in all conditions; it will even work well on the slopes if snowsports are your thing.
Mountain Equipment have constructed the Firefox Axel using a 40D Gore-Tex fabric with Gore’s C-Knit backer technology. This gives you all of the protection and durability of a Gore-Tex jacket, but thanks to the C-Knit backer, it feels softer to touch and more comfortable next-to-skin. Some of you may also prefer the fact that it as it doesn’t rustle as much as Gore-Tex Pro, so win, win... win.
Constructed with a trim Alpine Fit the Firefox Axel has enough room underneath for lighter layers and the articulated pre-shaped sleeves and shoulders allow for complete freedom of movement. Seams have been kept to a minimum to help increase overall breathability; this is because the only part of a Gore-Tex jacket that isn’t breathable is the seam taping, therefore the less there is, the more breathable your jacket will be. Hood-wise, you get the superbly designed Mountain Hood which provides full protection without being too big and baggy, as well as having enough room for a helmet if needs be. Two large A-line pockets take care of storage and include mesh linings to help with ventilation.
So, if you are looking for a jacket that will do it all and still be cool enough for summer use then look no further...especially seeing as you can't buy this jacket anywhere else, and at this price its an incredible bargain!
