What is Gilltek? We can read about a series of “mesh vents that allow excess heat to escape” on the Orage website.

He added: “The fabric features a durable water-repellent Eco-C0 treatment, giving it increased water resistance so it retains its plush character even in wet and/or snowy conditions.” »
Versatile coats that can be worn both in the city and on the off-piste ski peaks.
