OuterwearDesign : A severe weather shell tailored specifically for alpine assaults. The hood easily fits all climbing helmets and a waist drawcord cinches to the side so you can see all your points. Clothing for maximum comfort, mobility and protection. Application: Curved zip : our objective of moving the zipper off to the side required a feat of geometric engineering.plotting a new coures for our Water Tight zip meant blending variable radius curves into a smooth sliding S-turn. By moving the slider sideways, our super soft collar stayed in place and functioned properly whether zipper up tight or hanging half-open. Tiny tape : By introducing even smaller taping we shaved nine millimeters of width. Using tiny tape made our shells even more supple and sha ved grams from already lightweight construction. And with less tape sealing off breathability , the performance of our shell was drastically improved. Storm hood design: design an alpinist hood that could truly fit a helmet without inhibiting vision created an interesting set of problems.our unique solution utilized a high stretch shockcord that delivered three dimensions of adjustment without inducing cordlock confusion. The resulting storm hood cinched down peripherally comformed to a multitude of dome voulmes and refused to collect snow when hanging idle.
