The Grid Technic is essential kit for both highly demanding and everyday outdoor activities. The Grid Technic helps reduce the number of layers you need by offering cooling when exposed to the wind, or insulation when covered with a windproof or waterproof. The Grid Technic has a zipped neck, thumb loops and an athletic fit. Variable ventilation to the skin provided by the zipped neck. A zip garage at the top protects soft skin under the chin. Thumb loops to hold sleeves in place when required. In cold conditions this eliminates any gap between glove and jacket to maintain hand warmth. A comfortable, athletic silhouette with a broad range of movement provided by efficient styling in stretch fabric. Parameta® G fabric is two fabrics in one, providing cooling when needed and insulation when needed. When covered with a wind-proof the fleecy grid squares trap air and provide excellent insulation. When uncovered the gaps between the grid allow moving air to go straight to the skin, promoting cooling. The structure of this next-to-the-skin fabric optimises lateral water movement for evaporative cooling, keeping you comfortable when you are working hard. These features provide a fabric which can keep you warm and keep you cool, and therefore is useful in the widest range of temperature conditions and activities, from high mountain climbing to gentle spring and summer walking, and all year round cycling.
