Dermizax

Functional clothing is particularly important when it comes to working out your own turns. Bergans piqued our interest with their Dermizax™ NX combo and we tested it for you.

Mountain guide and photographer Stefan Neuhauser tests the top freeride jacket from the current Bergans collection for PowderGuide. Stephan has been freeriding with the Isogaisa jacket and Stranda pants from Bergans in the Allgäu and Southern French Alps since mid-December 2011 and tested the jacket extensively.

"La Grave" is the name of the men's model in Ortovox's new hardshell clothing line. We became aware of the jacket because, according to the manufacturer, it combines the function of a three-layer hardshell jacket with the warmth and comfort of merino wool. To find out what the top jacket can really do, we put it to an extensive test in the powder snow of the still young winter of 2010/11.
