What is the Romback Wind Jacket?
It's a windproof jacket designed to protect you from cold, harsh breezes, no matter the season. Whether mountain biking, hiking, trail running, scrambling or even taking the pooch for a morning walk, this incredibly versatile jacket makes the perfect lightweight layer and is even ideal for packing into a backpack in case of emergency.
What is it made of?
This jacket is constructed with recycled polyamide ripstop weave. Though recycled, the material doesn't compromise durability and performance. It blocks chilling winds effectively to help your temperature stay regulated.
The material is treated with a PFC-free DWR (durable water repellent) that encourages rain and snow to bead off the fabric instead of soaking in, offering light water resistance for showery weather.
Plus, it's GRS-certified and bluesign® approved, giving it some extra eco-friendly credentials!
If you were wondering, GRS certification is the voluntary Global Recycling Standard used to measure, track and verify the recycled contents of a material/product. This certification applies to the entire supply chain and covers traceability, environmental principles, social requirements, chemical content and labelling.
bluesign® approval also confirms that these materials avoid the use of harmful substances when manufactured whilst using reduced air and water emissions, increased resource productivity and ensuring that the production line used is more transparent and trustworthy.
What are its features?
The hood offers sufficient coverage to keep the wind away from your face and neck. You can adjust the fit with the elastic around the front and rear adjuster, ideal for wearing a beanie underneath or preventing any excess volume from flapping around.
Hard fixing tape around the hood's brim gives it more structure to ensure your peripheral vision isn't obstructed by dangling material.
A large chest pocket provides a secure space to store gloves, a headtorch, a mobile phone or some trail snacks to keep you fuelled.
Elastic is built into the cuffs to cinch the fabric around your wrists, preventing wind from blowing up your sleeves. The elastic also allows you to fit a pair of gloves or a bulky watch underneath comfortably.
An adjuster is built into the hem around the bottom of the jacket, allowing you to retain warmth and maximise weather protection for more demanding conditions.
Weighing a mere 134g, it's light enough to stow away in your backpack as an emergency layer or pitstop jacket when you've found the perfect lunch spot but want to stay protected from that icy breeze.
