Women's Merino wool Jacket Bergans Y MountainLine Wooltech Midlayer Jacket Women Pearl Grey 2024

The Y MountainLine Wooltech is a women's jacket made of merino wool and Cordura Technostretch, representing an innovation in the field of mid-layer equipment for mountaineering, hiking, and ski touring. It's lightweight and technical, and the combination of materials makes it simultaneously breathable, functional, highly durable, and resistant to mechanical impacts. The model is part of the limited high-tech series Y MountainLine by the Norwegian brand Bergans of Norway, which focuses on the needs of professional athletes and enthusiasts of high-mountain adventures. The overall design and characteristics are intended to provide the necessary protection from meteorological 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, keeps warm even when wet, doesn't retain unpleasant odors, and helps balance between retaining warmth and breathability of the fabric. That's why jackets made of merino wool are highly preferred as mid-layers for mountaineering and high-intensity sports activities like alpinism, climbing, ski touring, and others. A potential downside of this material is that it dries slowly and is delicate, hence more prone to tearing. In the women's jacket Y MountainLine Wooltech made of merino wool, this issue is addressed with the help of Cordura® Technostretch fabric with a ceramic print – exceptionally abrasion-resistant, durable, and water-repellent fabric that repels water droplets, blocks the wind, and provides effective protection against dynamic weather changes you may encounter in the mountains.

This Bergans model features flat seams in strategic areas to reduce the risk of chafing. The two front pockets are spacious enough to easily accommodate a smartphone, GPS, keys, and wallet, positioned so they don't interfere when using a climbing harness or fastening the waist belt of a hiking backpack. The hood is precisely shaped for comfortable use with a helmet (the helmet should be worn over it). The built-in face mask is a fantastic detail, allowing you to cover your mouth and nose in cold weather with just one movement.
