Product test | Salewa Veda Jacket and Vasaki Pants
01/01/2012 • Lorenzo RiegThe Veda jacket and Vasaki pants are the latest men's models in Salewa's freeski mountaineering line. As a hardshell, they form the first barrier against the elements such as wind, moisture and other unpleasantness that you encounter in the mountains. The membrane used is Powertex, which is not only waterproof and breathable, but also very stretchy. Both the jacket and trousers have a super-thin layer of fleece on the inside. This is not a real lining, the fleece is attached directly to the 3-layer material and is really very thin (approx. 1 mm). Nevertheless, this makes the jacket and trousers slightly warmer than pure shell clothing. I have been using the jacket and trousers combination for just under a month for skiing and touring.
