Dermizax

The 3-layer Dermizax shell jacket from the Swiss company Penguin offers a water column of more than 20,000 mm as well as very good breathability and is a faithful companion for your adventures on cold days in combination with a down jacket or on warm days with just a shirt as a base layer.

The Ortovox 3L Ravine combo is a lightweight freeride combo for the backcountry that feels at home on freeride descents as well as ascents in steep gullies.

Like its predecessors, the latest version of the Penguin hardshell jacket scores points with its simple, functional design. The Dermizax membrane keeps the jacket waterproof even in adverse conditions and it has everything else you could wish for in a powder jacket. Recommendation!

Three-layer jackets and trousers are now a dime a dozen and pretty much every manufacturer has at least one model in their range. With the 3L Deep Shell combination, Ortovox has another freeride and touring combination on offer. I was able to test how this combination performs in practice this winter.

When I think of Schöffel, I don't necessarily think of modern and highly technical freeride clothing. So I was all the more pleasantly surprised when the La Grave suit arrived in my mailbox. The first thought was that it felt good. The second was that it was comfortable to wear and the third was the casual cut.

The new PG clothes are finally here! In collaboration with the small Swiss company Penguin, who are doing a lot of things differently in the textile industry, we have found just the right partner! We want to celebrate this with you and are giving away high-quality Penguin and PowderGuide clothing! Just read on and answer the questions...

A third layer jacket with merino wool sounds a bit strange at first. On closer inspection, however, you realize that the merino wool is only used on the inside. On the outside, the jacket shines with the high-performance Dermizax®EV membrane from Toray with a water column of at least 20,000 mm and is therefore permanently wind and waterproof.

The small Swiss company PENGUIN has been promoting ski and snowboard clothing with a focus on functionality and robustness for several years. The Swiss company's motto is: by freeriders for freeriders. For this reason, particular emphasis is placed on ensuring that the clothing can withstand the rigors of daily freeride adventures.

With the Storen series, Bergans is launching ski touring and mountain sports products on the market that are characterized by low weight and high functionality thanks to 3-layer, particularly thin Dermizax®NX. The aim is to focus on the essentials. I was able to test whether the advertised properties actually apply in outdoor use.

The Bergans alpine and telemark collection is specially designed for skiing and alpine activities in terms of materials and style and advertises a feel-good all-round carefree winter package. It promises high breathability as well as wind and waterproofness, which is guaranteed by 3-layer Dermizax. I was able to test whether the collection delivers what it promises in outdoor use.

It is one thing above all: eye-catching. The Merino Guardian Shell jacket from Ortovox stands out with its bright colors. But what can the jacket do apart from being colorful?

This season, Bergans has launched the Hodlevke jacket and trousers, a new and visually appealing combination with a baggy style for young people, especially for freeriding, but also for ski touring and "normal" skiing. The outfit is made from 3-layer Dermizax™ NX material, which promises particularly high breathability as well as wind and waterproofness.
