Vaude Shivling Jacket: Alpine All-round Pro - ispo News

The perfect touring jacket should be lightweight – especially when you hit steep inclines that seem to exponentially increase the weight of every item in your pack as you go along. It should also be durable enough to handle the wear and tear of a backpack, rock or ski edges. The new Shivling Jacket is built for tough mountain demands – yet is extremely lightweight at just 400 grams.



Those who’ve thought that lightweight 3-layer jackets just weren’t tough enough will be sold on the new Shivling Jacket. A special ceramic print has been applied at the jacket’s shoulders, elbows and waist, improving abrasion resistance enormously. Tiny microscopic ceramic particles applied in a screening process permeate the upper material. This ensures that areas highly stressed by contact to rock, one’s pack or climbing harness are permanently protected. Yet touring comfort is also guaranteed by using a 3-layer eVent material that is highly breathable, waterproof and windproof.

Freedom of Movement
Freedom of movement is crucial when climbing or mountaineering. This was consistently taken into account when we designed the Shivling Jacket. The body-hugging cut is paired with stretch inserts at the sleeves and shoulders for full range of motion. The underarm vents have been shifted to the side to prevent any restricted mobility. To ensure access of the side pockets even while wearing a pack or harness, they have been positioned higher. This interplay of features and materials results in a perfect full-motion fit and provides greatest wearing comfort for all freedom-loving mountaineering individuals.
