Description
A windproof, waterproof barrier designed for skiers and climbers. The adventure-hungry Synergy Jacket is made with the gold standard of waterproof-breathable technology, GORE-TEX®, with a durable yet packable face fabric. Great alpine-specific features include harness- and backpack-accessible pockets, a high collar to keep out blowing snow, and a helmet compatible hood with a cordlock adjustment.
- Made of 70-denier nylon with a GORE-TEX membrane and DWR finish for superior waterproofness and breathability.
- GORE-TEX® C-Knit lining is comfortable next-to-skin, supple when you move, and highly breathable.
- Fully seam-taped construction keeps you dry and comfortable in howling conditions.
- Water-resistant front zipper is sewn and glued in place with an inner storm flap to seal out wind.
- Underarm vents have 2-way watertight zips, for releasing heat.
- Contoured cuffs layer well with gloves and close with Velcro® tabs.
- 2 front pockets close with water-tight zippers.
- 1 internal pocket keeps personal items secure.

Fabric waterproof rating
The standard test for waterproof fabrics uses a standing column filled with water. The figures given are the water column height. A rating of 3,500mm or higher can be considered waterproof. The higher the rating, the more durable the waterproof fabric will be over time. |
20,000mm |

Waterproofness
Waterproof garments use waterproof-breathable technologies and are fully seam-taped. Water-resistant garments use waterproof-breathable technologies but their seams are not taped. Water-resistant garments repel water and protect against wind but are not made of waterproof fabric. |
Waterproof with fully taped seams |

Fabric active breathability
The rate at which a waterproof breathable fabric expels moisture when the inner surface is moist from perspiration. Values under 8,000g/m2/24h provide low performance, 20,000g/m2/24h provide moderate performance and values over 30,000g/m2/24h provide high performance. |

Windproofness
A windproof garment does not allow any air to permeate the fabric. A garment with windproof panels has panels of fabric that are totally windproof, but the rest of the garment may not be windproof. A wind-resistant garment resists some wind, but not as much as a garment that is windproof. |

Usually referred to as DWR. A treatment made to fabrics that causes water to bead and run off instead of soaking through. |
