Key Technical Features
-

-

-
Bamboo Charcoal Fibre: Blends BIO A.M.T bamboo charcoal into the fabric for natural odour control and enhanced drying speeds, ensuring the garment stays fresh during multi-day trips.
-
Body-Mapped Breathability: Strategically placed mesh underarm panels and zoned airflow areas provide targeted ventilation where the body generates the most heat.
-
Locked-In Coverage: Includes non-corrosive dome fasteners at the neck to secure the hood at high boat speeds, along with long-cut raglan sleeves and high-coverage thumbhole cuffs.
