Rookie Jacket - Kids'

TPU, or Thermoplastic Polyurethane, is a flexible and durable type of plastic that provides excellent waterproofing. This means your ski jacket will keep you dry in wet conditions while allowing for comfortable movement. Its resistance to abrasion also ensures that the jacket can withstand the wear and tear of outdoor activities.

"Critical seams sealed" refers to a construction technique where the seams of the jacket are treated with a special tape or coating to prevent water from leaking through. This is crucial for maintaining waterproofness, especially during heavy rain or snow, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable while skiing.

The breathability rating indicates how well the fabric allows moisture, like sweat, to escape while keeping water out. A higher rating, such as 10,000g/m², means better moisture management, which helps prevent overheating and keeps you dry from sweat. This is essential for maintaining comfort during intense physical activity on the slopes.

Synthetic insulation is made from man-made materials that provide warmth even when wet, unlike natural insulation like down feathers. This makes it an excellent choice for winter jackets, as it ensures you stay warm and comfortable in damp conditions, which is often the case when skiing.

Fleece lining adds an extra layer of warmth and comfort against your skin. Made from lightweight polyester, fleece is soft, breathable, and helps retain heat without adding bulk. This makes it a popular choice for winter clothing, ensuring you stay cozy while enjoying your time on the slopes.

The combination of TPU for waterproofing, critical seams sealed for added protection, a high breathability rating for moisture management, synthetic insulation for warmth, and fleece lining for comfort all work together to create a ski jacket that keeps you dry, warm, and comfortable. This allows you to focus on enjoying your skiing experience without worrying about the weather.
