However, apart from the crackling, this combination has nothing to do with craft paper. The situation is different with spinnaker cloth - a spinnaker is made of extremely thin cloth, but must also be super stable. The Vassi Combo also fulfils these characteristics. Even the odd shrub/branch contact does not upset.
Haglöfs describes the Vassi Outfit not only as a touring suit, but also as a freeride suit. Personally, I don't usually use it for freeriding, I bought it as a ski touring suit. For me, a pure freeride suit has to be a little wider cut rather than "alpine". For me, the Vassi Combo fully fulfils all the touring characteristics, from head to toe, from the good jacket ventilation to the rather alpine, tight leg cuffs (good for crampon use).
Before we get to the practical report, a few words about the test conditions and myself. I am 186 cm tall and weigh around 85 kg - a classic L-carrier, as is the case with these trousers. The trouser legs are nice and long and the trousers fit well at the waist. The jacket is not too tight and an insulating layer fits well underneath. The suit has been tested in all kinds of conditions so far. In heavy snowfall and powder for freeriding, but also on the piste and on ski tours in bluebird conditions, up to around 1,500 metres ascent.
