Chaqueta cortavientos Helikon-Tex Tramontane XL

A featherweight wind shell built for high-output mountain pursuits, the Helikon-Tex Tramontane XL in black delivers dependable wind protection and packable convenience for hikers, trail runners, and cyclists. Its ultralight ripstop nylon shell with DWR coating blocks gusts and light rain while underarm vents prevent overheating during intense climbs.

Advantages

DWR treatment sheds light precipitation without sacrificing breathability.
