What is the Taiss Pro IN Hooded Jacket?
The Taiss Pro IN Hooded Jacket is a technical, insulated jacket that uses a combination of down and synthetic filling to provide exceptional warmth and protection. It's the perfect piece for traversing rocky mountain edges and pushing your boundaries when mountaineering and climbing during the winter.
What is it made of?
The jacket's outer is made with Pertex Quantum Pro®, which comprises durable recycled nylon. It is robust enough to take a beating in rugged environments, has a smooth finish that is easy to slide under a shell jacket, and has a PFC-free DWR (durable water-repellent).
The lining is also made with recycled nylon, enhancing durability while keeping useable materials in the loop and ensuring they don't end up in landfills.
It features a combination of body-mapped synthetic insulation and warm, lofty 850-fill power White Goose Down insulation with a Nikwax PFC-free Hydrophobic finish for maximum performance.
Can't quite catch the lingo? Here's a quick breakdown.
Pertex® Quantum Pro – Combining 35 years of Pertex® experience in the precise weaving of fine and technical yarns, this material uses a tightly woven construction that allows insulation to fully loft. Pertex® Quantum fabrics are designed to trap still air, helping to warm the insulation and maintain its efficiency whilst creating a light, protective barrier from the elements. It's finished with a lightweight DWR (durable water repellent) that sheds light rain and snow to stop it from soaking in. However, please note that this doesn’t make it fully waterproof.
White Goose Down - Goose Down is some of the highest quality down on the current market. Therefore, making this product super high grade and efficient, ensuring you get every bang for your buck.
850 Fill power - Fill power measures the warmth and efficiency of the down, alongside its ability to loft/fluff up. A rating of 850 fill power means that 1oz of this down fills 850 cubic inches of space when fully lofted.
Nikwax PFC-free Hydrophobic Finish - The down is treated with a Nikwax fluorocarbon-free Hydrophobic finish, which adds light water resistance to the down itself.
PFC-free - PFC-free means perfluorinated chemical free. Perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs), used to add water repellent to textiles, aren't able to break down, so once they reach nature via factory water waste, they stay in the ecosystem and contaminate living organisms, working their way up the food chain. PFC's are suspected carcinogens and have been known to affect mammal reproduction and hormone production. Therefore, many leading brands in the outdoor industry are now prioritising cutting out the use of these chemicals entirely to contribute to a more responsible manufacturing process.
Mammut also works with FairWear to ensure safe, ethical working conditions in their factories, helping to protect workers' rights and being considerate and responsible with their processes.
What are its features?
The hood is climbing helmet compatible and has a one-point adjustment system that makes it easy to adjust the fit single-handedly.
At the front, you'll find a two-way zip entry point that operates smoothly and allows for ventilation and harness access.
For storage, there are two harness-compatible side pockets fastened with zips that are perfect for small essentials like snacks and energy gels. You also get two internal mesh pockets, and a zipped inner pocket for more valuable items like keys and cash.
Pre-shaped cuffs enhance the fit around the wrists, whilst the adjustable hem allows you to cinch in the material to seal the weather out and keep the warmth in.
When on the go or for storage during multi-day adventures, this jacket is packable enough to stow away into its own pocket, giving you a compact storage solution that will fit into a kit bag or backpack easily.
