BLACK YAK<br />Hybrid Jacket <br />Winter 2017.18

Developed for several activities, like ski touring mountaineering and training at lower altitudes, the Hybrid Jacket is an outstanding product. It features intelligent insulation mapping: where the body needs more insulation to stay warm, the insulation chambers have been engineered to create more insulation. In the sleeves the chambers get smaller, as less insulation is required. Inside this jacket, the padding level of the chambers also varies. There is traceable goose down (750 cuin) over the top area of the body for maximum warmth. At the lower parts of the arms and in the belt area, PrimaLoft® Gold has been used as its hydrophobic properties make it ideal for this.

For the back panel, where more permeability is needed and stretch is vital for maximum freedom of movement, Polartec® Alpha® has been used. Two open mesh pockets and two zippered hand warmer pockets provide enough storage space for your belongings.

Powerful and majestic, the Yak moves continuously up the mountain. Fully loaded with expedition material, these animals are used to strain and hard work. Their robust form has enabled them to survive the ice age, continuing under the most arduous conditions. They live in the Himalayan Mountains. Yak’s also benefit people in many ways. They give wool, milk, and meat. They are perfect for riding or transporting large and heavy loads. It is effectively the Sherpa of Sherpa’s. The best friend of the mountain climber. For these reasons, BlackYak has chosen the Yak as a namesake and company logo. It symbolizes the connection with the mountain climbers, the Yaks, the mountains, nature.
