What is the Bergtagen Stretch Half Zip?
It’s a weather resistant jacket with a half-zip fastening that feels a little comfier than your regular mountain jacket, thanks to its stretchy material. The Bergtagen Half Zip is the ideal jacket for mountain hiking, climbing or scrambling steep ascents where you need maximum freedom of movement and breathability.
What is it made of?
This jacket is made with Cordura nylon which comprises 92% polyamide and 8% elastane to give it a lovely stretch, allowing a full range of movement for steep ascents and technical manoeuvres.
Though stretchy, this material is extremely durable and can easily withstand bumps and scrapes from rugged terrain easily. The nylon is weather resistant, meaning it'll offer sufficient protection in showery or windy weather, but it's not fully waterproof.
What are the features?
This anorak has a snug fitting hood that helps to keep your head protected in exposed, blustery conditions. The half-length full zipper allows you to get it on and off easily and gives you the options for ventilation if you’re working up a sweat, without having it flap around all over your front.
When fully zipped, it offers a nice amount of coverage around the neck and chin to block the wind.
A zipped chest pocket fits smaller essentials easily, whether trail snacks, energy gels, a mobile phone or small GPS device.
Elastic edging on the hem and sleeve cuffs naturally cinches these ends closer to the body, trapping in more heat and blocking wind from blowing up.
The Bergtagen Half Zip is extremely versatile, thanks to its technical material, and can be worn as a lighter outer-layer
