Berghaus Arkos Reflect Down Jacket

The perfect outer layer for the coldest of climates, the Berghaus Arkos Reflect Down Jacket uses provides intelligent heat distribution to ensure that you will always feel comfortable, no matter how exposed you are to the harsh winter conditions.

Designed to keep you warm in the harshest of conditions, the Arkos Reflect Down Jacket is packed with extremely effective insulating Hydrodown technology. This technology developed by Berghaus has been tested in some of the most extreme conditions around the globe. The goose down is extremely lightweight, but despite this its heat to weight ratio is extremely efficient, resulting in you feeling like you don't have any restrictions whatsoever. The down is also extremely compressible, making it easy for packing away when not in use. What makes Hydrodown different to standard down is that it is treated to keep you dry as well as warm. Every cluster of Hydrophobic Down undergoes innovative water-repellent treatment, so it absorbs significantly less water, keeping you dry and your kit light. The way that the down is specially treated will also mean that it won't collapse in on you when it is wet, which will mean that it will retain its shape over a long period of time, with the loft of it keeping you warm. Unlike standard down, when wet the Hydrodown dries off extremely quickly, meaning that it will get back to retaining heat quickly. Tests show that it recovers 80 per cent of its loft, even after three minutes fully immersed in water, making it perfect in changeable conditions. An additional technology that Berghaus have used in the Arkos Reflect Down Jacket is Hydroloft. This insulating technology is designed to improve the distribution of heat within the jacket, whilst also ensuring that the overall weight of it remains low. It is made from extremely fine fibres which mimic the construction of down. It will create small pockets of air that will trap heat within, repelling cold air away. This means you can stay warm and comfortable without the restrictive bulk meaning that you can move freely and carry out your outdoor activities to full potential. The technology is also designed to be mindful of overheating. The structure of Hydroloft combined with highly breathable fabrics allows excess body heat and moisture to pass quickly through the jacket, ensuring you have enhanced levels of comfort for active use. The synthetic fibres used in Hydroloft do not absorb moisture, and this combined with a durable and PFC free water-repellent treatment on the outside of the jacket will mean that it will perform in the worst conditions.

Working to ensure that the heat within the jacket is distributed evenly, the jacket has innovative body-mapping techniques which are designed by their award winning MTNHAUS team. From testing and developing products with athletes, body heat is harnessed and distributed evenly down to the design of the jacket. A full zip down the front of the jacket is easily adjusted, making it easy to allow air in to cool you down, or to seal heat in by zipping it all the way up. A windproof flap and soft inner chin guard will mean that heat or comfort isn't compromised. The jacket has a fully covering and lightweight hood that will feel extremely comfortable, repelling water away and keeping your head warm. It has a stiffened peak and a single point, making sure that you will always be able to see clearly ahead of you. Articulated sleeves will mean that you will be able to make a wide range of upper body movements without any restriction whatsoever. The arms will also be kept warm, as there are inner stretch cuffs, which will seal in heat and prevent cold winds from entering and causing discomfort. An adjustable dropped hem will provide personalised comfort at the bottom of the jacket. Two zipped hand pockets provide you with a perfect place to store all essential items securely. As well as this, the pockets are harness compatible, making the jacket versatile for a wide range of activities. Flat-lying seams within the jacket will remove the risk of irritation by rubbing and chafing. The jacket uses fabrics that are approved by bluesign, meaning that it uses sustainably sourced and produced materials.
