The British outdoor manufacturer Karrimor announced yesterday the release of three technical jackets for spring summer 2012, after a seven years break from that particular range of products.
The flagship of those three new jackets is the Alpiniste, an eVent equipped multi-purpose outdoor jacket with active fit and a roll away helmet compatible hood. The 3 layers eVent waterproof fabric with Venting Technology
Next is the X Lite Helium, a lightweight and packable shell with Karrimor’s own Weathertite Extreme garment. It is very similar to the Alpiniste, with roll away helmet compatible hood, same pockets and zips and comes at 370g in men size L. And finally the Transition, an affordable water resistant and windproof jacket for all types of outdoor activities.
It’s good to see a brand such as Karrimor come back with high quality offerings like the Alpiniste jacket and we are hoping they will keep it up for autumn winter 2012.
