Armada Women's Nova GORE-TEX Jacket 2013

The goal is simple: to build the best performing, most advanced outerwear possible. The Vector Series makes no compromises and delivers the performance demanded by our elite team of athletes and mountain professionals by utilizing GORE-TEX® fabric throughout the collection. The Vector Series ensures you are ready for whatever conditions you face.

GORE-TEX PRODUCTS
Armada garments engineered with GORE-TEX product technology are durably waterproof and wind-proof combined with optimized breathability.  Our GORE-TEX outerwear is guaranteed to maximize the wearers’ protection and comfort.

Thinsulate
Found exclusively in our Vector series, Thinsulate insulation will help keep you warm without unnecessary weight or bulk, and brings more freedom of movement and comfort to your clothing making it the perfect match for our lightweight Gore-Tex fabrics.  Because the fibers in Thinsulate insulation are finer than the fibers used in most other synthetic or natural insulation, they trap more air in less space.

FEATURES

TECH:

RECCO Avalanche Rescue System-At Armada we strongly support mountain safety and avalanche education in the backcountry.  If you spend any time out of bounds, we urge you to get educated and be properly equipped.  It is in this spirit we are very proud of our partnership with RECCO and feature their reflectors in our line.
RECCO is an avalanche rescue system utilized worldwide to facilitate the rapid location of burials.  The two parts-reflector and detector-enable rapid pinpointing using harmonic radar but are not a substitute for transceiver use.  Complementary in function, the RECCO system increases the chance of being found in time.
