Reliability

Enjoying outdoor activities should not depend on the weather, which is why outdoor clothing needs to be extremely tough, comfortable and, above all, functional.
The microclimate between the skin and the clothing has a considerable effect on physical wellbeing. Intense physical effort or close-fitting clothing, which limits the necessary air and moisture exchange, leads to an accumulation of heat. The body reacts with excessive sweating. On the other hand, too much evaporation or excessive air exchange at low temperatures results in a considerable loss of heat. The temperature on the surface of the skin drops and you freeze. Good outdoor clothing must therefore satisfy various functions.


Choosing the right outdoor clothing

Waterproof, windproof yet breathable. These are the main criteria that McKINLEY outdoor clothing has to meet. Modern high-tech materials make an excellent job of satisfying these requirements.


Specification

Generally look out for the following features:
Reinforcements of the parts exposed to wear, zips with overlap strips on the inside and outside, easily accessible inside and outside pockets that fasten, hoods that fasten as tightly as possible.

McKinley outdoor jackets are extremely functional:

• The hood is individually adjustable protects against rain and extreme cold.
• High-fastening, close-fitting collar prevents heat escaping at the top.
• Generous shoulders and elbows for unlimited freedom of movement.
• Underarm or shoulder zips for improved air exchange and comfortable microclimate.
• Adjustable cuffs for ventilation and temperature control.
• Waist adjustment to prevent heat loss below (improved thermal efficiency).
