The Kjus Warp Speed Jacket is exclusive to Snow + Rock in the UK & is built for the active & dynamic skier. 4-Way Stretch, Dermizax NX fabric allows powerful, un-restricted movement & the very best in waterproof, breathable performance. A combination of lightweight, hydrophobic, synthetic insulation ensures optimum heat distribution even when wet; & the strong, race inspired styling incorporates subtle vents, which allow extra ventilation when you pick up the pace. Thumbholes allow the sleeves to be held securely in place whilst an internal snow gaiter & water repellent zips ensure that the powder stays on the mountain allowing you to push your limits on & off-piste.

At its heart lies a non-porous hydrophilic PU membrane specially constructed on a molecular level that allows vapour molecules to pass easily from inside a garment to the outside. 100% waterproof, it is also environmentally friendly as it only generates in its production 1/10th of the CO2 emissions compared to other membranes. Prima Loft One: The ultimate microfibre insulation, it has one of the highest warmth-to-weight ratios of any synthetic insulation. Ultra fine fibres are specially treated & then combined into an insulating core that is incredibly soft, lightweight & water resistant. Thinsulate Platinum Flex: Durable yet lightweight stretch insulation that has excellent heat retention properties even in wet conditions. Waterproof Rating: This is measured & expressed as Hydrostatic Head in millimetres (mm). To find out the Hydrostatic Head of a fabric the manufacturer will take a clear tube & clamp their material over the bottom end. They will then fill the tube slowly with water & watch to see how high the column of water can get before the material lets drips through. The higher the hydrostatic head, the better the water protection. The European Standard a fabric must meet to be classified as waterproof is a Hydrostatic Head rating of 1500mm, & on average, outerwear fabrics tend to have a hydrostatic head of 10000mm & above. Breathability Rating: Breathability is measured as a rating in grams of how much vapour a square metre of fabric will allow to pass through in 24 hours (g/m 2/24). For general use, 10000g/m 2/24 & above is desirable. It should be noted that breathable fabrics do not stop you sweating & care should be taken as to clothing worn beneath waterproof/breathable shells. High quality base layers & fleece or insulated midlayers should in themselves draw vapour from the body & pass it outwards, thus allowing the outer fabric to do its job. Cotton clothing should never be worn as part of a performance clothing layering system. Recco avalanche rescue reflector: Using sophisticated radar technology, the Recco reflector forms the passive element of a 2-part avalanche search system. Ski resorts & mountain rescue teams carry Recco detectors, which send out a search signal, & the Recco reflector bounces back a directional signal that directs the rescuer straight to the reflector. More than 600 resorts & rescue services around the world use the Recco Rescue System as part of their immediate response.
