Dæhlie Challenge 3.0 ski jacket for cold-weather training
The Dæhlie Challenge 3.0 ski jacket is a padded training jacket designed for active cross-country skiers exercising in cold winter conditions. This improved version of the popular Challenge jacket combines three-layer softshell fabric, Fellex® ECO-FA insulation across the chest and stretch panels positioned to support movement and moisture management during high-intensity training.
Wind- and water-repellent softshell construction
The jacket's three-layer softshell fabric features a PU membrane designed to help keep wind and moisture out. Its stated technical ratings are 10,000 WP / 10,000 MVP. The PU membrane on the fabric surface also helps light rain and sleet run off while supporting breathability.
According to the supplied product information, the fabric transports moisture from the inside, dries quickly and breathes well during high-intensity training. The laminated front is designed to prevent moisture from being absorbed into the garment and freezing inside the fabric.
Chest insulation for added warmth
Fellex® ECO-FA insulation padding covers the chest, the jacket's most exposed area. Ultrasonic quilting is applied before stitching to avoid piercing the membrane with needle holes. This construction is designed to retain warmth inside the jacket.
Freedom of movement and practical details
Strategically placed stretch panels across the back and under the arms support freedom of movement and ventilation. Raglan sleeves and articulated sleeve construction complement the jacket's design for active ski training.
The regular fit is complemented by a single-grip adjustable hem and elastic cuffs. Other details include YKK® zippers, a fleece-lined inner collar, a chin guard, two zipped side pockets and a printed logo.
The Dæhlie Challenge 3.0 is designed as part of a coordinated outfit. Pair it with the Challenge 3.0 pants for cross-country ski training in cold conditions.
