AyaqShandar - Softshell jacket - Men's

Benefiting from 100% European recycled materials, the Shandar men's softshell jacket is ideal for your alpine expeditions when conditions are mixed. Providing warmth and versatility, this active windproof and breathable jacket is made from two recycled fabrics with different properties. One provides all the necessary warmth to keep you warm thanks to an optimal wind protection on the chest and sleeves, while the other offers perfect thermoregulation on the heat zones during exertion.
