Skijacke

Namuk has long since made a name for itself beyond Switzerland's borders as an innovative and sustainable company when it comes to outdoor clothing for children. To avoid additional waste, Namuk is launching a collection made from fabric remnants left over from production. In this test report, we have the honour of taking a closer look at the unique and limited edition upcycled items.

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.

Whether on a ski tour, in deep snow or converted for hiking or mountain biking, the Haldigrat Air HS Hooded really is a multi-talent. Especially in times when sustainability is playing an increasingly important role, it is an outstanding companion for all your outdoor adventures.

Namuk is a young brand from Switzerland that specialises in high-quality and sustainable children's clothing. The Monochrome collection is the new "big hit" from namuk and we at PowderGuide have tested it for you.

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.

I have used the Haglöfs Vassi Combo on about twenty ski tours so far. I wear a size L at 185 cm and 85 kg. The suit fits perfectly, not too loose, but not too tight either. I find both the jacket and trousers very light compared to my old suit, which is why I was rather sceptical about their durability for treeruns or other tougher uses. But so far I have no complaints!

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!

The Aenergy Air HS Hooded Jacket Women hardshell jacket from Mammut promises very high breathability thanks to its optimised membrane technology and is characterised by its light weight and high durability. A faithful companion both on often sweaty ascents and adrenaline-fuelled descents.

Mammut advertises the new Taiss HS Hooded as a "feather-light all-rounder" that can be used "all year round in the Alps". We get to the bottom of this description in the test and also explored other possible uses!

Since it was founded almost 15 years ago, the Picture brand, which goes by the full name of Picture Organic Clothing, has stood for sustainable winter sports clothing. On the one hand, sustainable, often bio-based materials are used wherever possible and harmful substances are avoided. On the other hand, Picture also uses innovative approaches such as a lifetime guarantee on the typical "wear parts" of clothing such as zips, buttons and seams.

With the Line Chaser combo, Scott is launching a minimalist ski touring outfit onto the market. One special feature is the three-layer DRYOspun fabric, which combines low weight with high functionality. On the other hand, Scott is also focussing on sustainability with this outfit by using recycled and renewable materials. I was able to test whether the advertised properties actually apply in outdoor use.

According to the manufacturer, the Haldigrat HS Hooded Jacket is designed for ski touring and freeriding. This slightly tailored hardshell jacket is not only attractive, but also offers optimum weather protection thanks to the 3-layer Mammut DRYtechnology™ Pro material. Wind, rain or wet snowfall are definitely no match for this garment.
