Update of our waterproof and breathable shell jacket in a minimalist design.

The fabric is quiet, stretchy and perfect all year round.

Now in 3-layer material instead of the previous 2.5-layer.

- What makes it special? BFF Jacket II is called best friends forever because it´s designed to be your everyday adventure partner.

The waterproof and breathable shell will keep you sheltered from both summer rains and winter blizzards.

It´s made from recycled and recyclable polyester and both the membrane and the water repellent are completely PFAS free.

The robust and repairable construction will last for many years and puts the forever in BFF.

How does it work? Women´s BFF Jacket II is made with the waterproof and breathable Flow 3L.

It´s a wind- and waterproof shell fabric that is both light, silent and stretchy.

Together with the cut, this fabric gives the jacket full freedom of movement and unparalleled comfort.

Women´s BFF Jacket II has an adjustable hood and bottom hem, zippered armpit ventilations, front pockets, inner chest pocket and articulated sleeves with velcro closures.

The jacket is fully seam sealed and has water repellent zippers.

Both the membrane and water repellent are completely free from harmful PFAS.

High performance does not have to come at the cost of a high environmental impact.

When should I use it? This soft, stretchy and silent 3-layer shell jacket is the perfect all-year shell.

Use it as everyday rain protection, for hiking or bicycle commuting, just to give a few examples.

BFF is designed for versatility and can be brought to most occasions.

- ´´Shell jackets with membrane.

Air out clothes instead of washing them to save water, energy and to make the garments last longer.

Make sure to wash your shell if it has been used in salt water or has gotten very sweaty or dirty as this weakens the performance of the garment.

They can reduce the fabric´s breathability and damage the water repellent surface.

The dirt can even allow for moisture to leak through the fabric.

Use a washing bag to protect your garments and to prevent fibers from leaking.

When cleaning the bag and filter in the machine, make sure to wipe it clean and throw the lint in your trash can.

Never rinse it in water since we don´t want the fibers to end up in lakes or oceans.

Machine wash cold.

There are special detergents for shells, but mild, environmentally certified detergents work just as fine.

Make sure to use the right dose.

Avoid fabric softener.

Besides being harmful for our environment, they have a negative impact on the garment performance, mainly moisture transportation and breathability.

Hang dry.

Just remember to introduce heat to the garment after washing to reactivate the water resistant surface of the outer fabric.

Use a drying cabinet, dryer or iron.

Make sure you monitor the heat so the garment does not melt.

You can reapply or enforce the water repellent treatment with a wash-in or spray when needed.

Always use an organic DWR:

You can find both a spray and a wash-in in the webshop or in our stores.

Remember to introduce heat to the garment after washing to reactivate the water resistant surface of the fabric.
