Descente: Men's Swiss Team Jacket

You don't have to be a world cup contender to enjoy the ultimate in warm and functional alpine sportswear. Descente's popular Swiss Team Jacket features a resilient and stretchy four-way stretch fabric that's completely waterproof and surprisingly more breathable than traditional ski jacket designs. What makes Descente stand apart from many ski wear manufacturers is their unwavering attention to both function and fashion details. One of the new design enhancements in the Swiss Team Jacket is Descente's Breath Ventilation vents along the collar. While other skiers use a scarf or neoprene mask to protect their lower face from extreme cold and wind, the Swiss Team Jacket has a welded seam ventilation system at the collar that covers your face without creating excess condensation along the collar lining. The vents facilitate the expelled air from your mouth, so you won't be brushing off frozen condensation later in the day. While sporting a completely new exterior look, The Swiss Team Jacket also incorporates proven interior comfort features from other seasons. This ski jacket design offers Descente's Airdrive lining that not only wicks moisture away from your body, but also retains heat far better than conventional polyester linings, so you stay warmer without having to add extra layers. Airdrive absorbs moisture and odors while wicking away perspiration through an anti-bacterial membrane that feels soft against your skin. Between the lining and the outer stretch fleece is a special lightweight Titan Thermo layer that reflects heat back to your body while allowing moisture to escape. Descente also impregnated the fabric with minerals that generate negative ions from the fabric. Negative ions can help the body relax and possibly improve blood circulation. Preliminary clinical studies also indicate that negative ions help decrease blood pressure and strengthen bones. Another way the jacket helps bones is through extra protective padding throughout the back of the neck and spine area, which might reduce your chances of an injury during a backwards fall. If you're serious about alpine comfort or you want the same designs used by the pros in world cup competitions, Descente's Swiss Team Jacket remains tough to beat.
