GLOSSARY OF TERMS

A flat ‘secret’ pocket is often integrated into JACK WOLFSKIN apparel. There are different types of pocket for different clothing. Many of our weather protection jackets are fitted with a SECRET POCKET. This special inside pocket lies protected from weather inside the jacket, but accessible from the outside at chest height via the double cover over the front zip. The pocket is often called a ‘Napoleon pocket’ as using it resembles the French general's famous gesture. A flat format SECRET POCKET is integrated into the side seam or pocket on skirts or trousers for keys or coins. At least half of the opening is covered by the pocket in front of it

A special shock pad integrated into the heel section of footwear. Either used as a removable insole on hiking footwear or as a midsole, e.g. in sandals. Depending on the model, these consist either of EVA or PU.

The SHORT SYSTEM ZIP is used in 3-in-1 jackets to connect inner and shell jackets. It is incorporated into JACK WOLFSKIN's blouson style 3-in-1 jackets and on our hiking jackets in particular. Other fleece or insulated inner jackets can be combined with the system zip to be used as a 3-in-1 jacket.

This very lightweight nylon ripstop fabric has a waterproof polyurethane coating and an additional silicon coating which considerably increases its weather protection spec and tearstrength.

Our SLIM FIT shoes were specially developed using a narrower last for people with more slender feet.

A super comfortable daypack carry system with a special shoulder strap design.The core components of the SNUGGLE UP system are the extra wide shoulder straps, padded shoulder yoke and the comfortable and robust EV foam back-contact surfaces. The ergonomic construction distributes load over a larger surface area than conventional shoulder strap designs. The pack always sits perfectly and pressure points on the shoulders are kept to a minimum.

FEHLT HW10 - Description

A windproof fabric characterised by its high tear resistance and low weight. With a durable water repellent finish. The very dense weave makes it windproof, while reinforcement threads make it tear resistant. The material is also very breathable and water repellent.

A windproof, extremely breathable fabric that is velvety to the touch. Its very dense weave makes it windproof.

The silky-soft SMOOTHLIGHT face fabric is the killer app of this extremely water repellent, totally windproof and breathable variation on the STORMLOCK HYPROOF theme. The material is “non rustle” and the soft feel provides superb wear comfort.

With its shell fabric of taslanized yarns, this STORMLOCK material is not only windproof, extremely water-repellent, and breathable but also robust and cotton-like to the touch. The elastane content also ensures good freedom of movement.

This 3 layer laminate is windproof, water repellent, dual stretch and abrasion resistant. The macroporous membrane in the middle renders it extremely breathable, since it allows effective air exchange (convection) in addition to moisture vapour transmission. The outer consists of a robust, water repellent nylon fabric; the inner layer is a light, textured Jersey knit.

A lightweight, windproof, dual stretch 3-layer laminate, which utilises knitted fabrics on both the outer and reverse sides to give the appearance of a sweatshirt fabric. The more voluminous polyester knit on the reverse side provides limited heat retention, while the water repellent face fabric copes well with light showers. The good moisture vapour transmission spec and the moisture management function of the fabric on the reverse side work together to deliver a high level of climate comfort.

A highly breathable polyamide fabric with a mesh structure. Used mainly as a lining material in our weather protection jackets. Perspiration passes easily through the mesh and is wicked away from the body through the weather protection layer.

This zip-detachable hood features a specially stiffened peak. It provides more weather protection than the BASIC HOOD. The volume and field of vision can be adjusted by draw cords with one hand.

A soft, hard-wearing, easy-care, functional material made of nylon yarns that is water repellent on the outside. This fabric offers a UV protection rating of 40+ (meets AS/NZS 4399: 1996 standard), which means that only 1/40 of all damaging UV A and UV B rays can pass through the fabric; 97.5 % of the rays are filtered. The protection comes from the fibres themselves and is not the result of any additional fabric treatment. This means that the UV protection is permanent and not affected by perspiration or water.
