Backcountry ski touring and ski mountaineering demand lightweight, high performance and packable gear that stands up to changeable mountain conditions.
The Khroma Cirque Jacket has been designed to excel on both the uphill and the down, built with wind and waterproof 3-Layer GORE-TEX Active, it’s highly breathable and efficient. The GORE® C-KNIT™ Backer Technology enables a lower bulk inner layer than regular 3-layer laminates, for a soft and flexible finish. The Khroma Cirque Jacket features concealed pit-zips to drop heat quickly and increase airflow when the incline steepens. It has a full length YKK® VISLON® ® AquaGuard® front zip with an internal storm flap, two large chest pockets which can easily swallow up skins, a map or gloves, and an internal secure zipped pocket. The hood is ski helmet compatible and has a three-way adjustable system to cinch any exposed gaps for full protection in wild weather. The jacket has a regular fit to accommodate extra layers, with an adjustable hem, and anti-snag, hook-and-loop cuffs that can be adjusted to fit under or over gloves.
With ski specific features, durable construction and effective breathability, the Khroma Cirque Jacket is the ideal outer layer for ski touring and ski mountaineering. Suitable for tackling everything from Scottish Highland heather hopping, to high alpine ridgelines and well-earned powder descents.
How to measure.
Chest: Measure the full circumference of your chest just below your armpits.
Waist: Find the top of your hip and measure the full circumference around your body.
Arm length: Measure horizontally from the centre of your back, across the shoulder, over a naturally bent elbow and down to the wrist fold.
Hips: Measure around the widest part of your hip area.
While all our garments are sized to these measurements, you will find that the cut on jackets designed for use in more extreme environments will be slightly more generous in the expectation that these designs will be used with additional/thicker midlayers. If you plan on using a jacket like this with fewer layers beneath it, please keep this in mind when selecting your size.
All garments are designed and fitted to suit their intended end use. See below for a general description of our fit categories:
Regular: Neither slim nor loose. Regular fit items are the perfect balance of form fit and ease of movement.
Slim: A streamlined silhouette. Cut trim following the contours of the body. Expertly placed articulation of seams and the use of stretch fabric ensure maximum freedom of movement in these close-fitting items.
Relaxed: Our more generous fit. Cut loosely through the body allowing for ease of movement and additional layering.
Expedition: Designed specifically to accommodate the layering system and equipment required for high altitude and polar expeditions.
