Gear of the Week | Zajo Karakorum Jacket

Three-layer jackets for skiing are nothing special in themselves. Numerous brands offer them in all colours and functionalities - often at high prices. The spectrum ranges from lightweight, pure rain jackets to solid, robust mountaineering versions. Due to their welded construction consisting of many individual parts, they are certainly complex to develop and are advertised as uncompromising high-performance products with almost infinite durability. Add an eye-catching design and the jacket is considered a premium product. The evaluation is then usually based on the most rational criteria possible: Weight, number of pockets, water column, pack size or the size of the hood and whether the helmet still fits underneath.
