Bergans Y MountainLine Wooltech Midlayer Jacket Women Mango Yellow 2024

The Y MountainLine Wooltech is a merino wool and Cordura Technostretch jacket that represents an innovation in the field of mid-layer gear for mountain, hiking and ski touring. It is light and technical, and the combination of materials makes it both breathable, functional and very strong and resistant to mechanical impacts. The model is part of the limited high-tech series Y MountainLine of the Norwegian brand Bergans of Norway, which focuses on the needs of professional athletes and lovers of high mountain adventures, as the overall design and features are designed to provide the necessary protection from weather conditions even in extreme situations.

Merino wool is known for its properties as a natural thermoregulator, which maintains an optimal temperature next to the skin, warm even when wet, does not retain unpleasant odors and supports the balance between heat retention and breathability of the material. Therefore, merino wool jackets are highly preferred as an intermediate layer for mountaineering and high-intensity sports such as mountaineering, climbing, ski touring and others. A potential downside of this fabric is that it dries slowly and is thin, making it more susceptible to tearing. In the Y MountainLine Wooltech, this problem is solved with the help of Cordura® Tecnostretch fabric with a ceramic print - an extremely wear-resistant, strong and water-repellent fabric that deflects water drops, stops the wind and provides you with effective protection against the dynamic changes of the weather that may encounter you in the mountains.

This Bergans model has flatlock seams in strategic places to reduce the risk of chafing. The two front pockets are spacious, easily accommodating a smartphone, GPS, keys and wallet, and are positioned so that they do not interfere with the use of a climbing seat and when fastening the cross belt of a backpack. The hood is precisely shaped for comfortable use with a helmet (the helmet must be placed over it). The built-in face mask is a great detail that you could put over your mouth and nose in cold weather in one go.

Highly technical and functional, the Y MountainLine Wooltech Midlayer softshell jacket in merino wool and Cordura® Tecnostretch from Bergans' Y MountainLine series is a perfect choice both as an outer jacket and as an intermediate layer under a hardshell jacket or down jacket in particularly cold weather. Developed for mountaineers who value high quality and the best technologies for perfect performance on difficult terrain with every single element aiming to feel comfortable even in extremely challenging conditions, it is suitable when you plan sports loads with variable weather and want to prioritize lightness, breathability and comfort over full waterproofing. The jacket has a very good outer water repellency coating, but it cannot protect you 100% from moisture penetration in bad weather.
