Name: OMM Kamleika Waterproof Jacket (Womens) v6
SKU: 786946

Now in it’s 6th Generation, the original Kamleika stretch waterproof was first released in 2005 and rapidly attracted many fans, not to mention a few imitators. Known for its unmatched next-to-skin comfort, freedom of movement and protection in harsh conditions; the Kamleika has been specifically designed to the demands of the mountain runner. Named after the garment worn by the Aleut people of the high Arctic on the shores of the Bearing Sea, though no longer constructed from the innards of sea otters; like the Aleuts, mountain runners require a waterproof and protective, yet lightweight and packable layer that is unrestrictive and moves with them.

The 5th generation of Kamleika introduced the tough Nylon face fabric whilst the 6th now includes a PFAS-free bio membrane and PFC-free DWR treatment. This has allowed us to drastically reduce the environmental impact of the jacket’s manufacture and use, no longer using the “forever chemicals” that are incredibly harmful to the natural world but without compromising the performance of the jacket in the harshest conditions.

Features:

SOFTSHELL COMFORT, WATERPROOF PERFORMANCE - With 4-Way stretch, soft feel and great breathability, the Kamleika fabric looks, feels and even sounds like a softshell but with the fully waterproof membrane, taped seams and DWR, it offers the waterproof protection needed to move confidently in bad weather.

C-ZERO CONSTRUCTION & PLANT-BASED MEMBRANE - Using a PFC-free DWR and a PFAS-free bio-membrane has removed the long-chain carbons and forever chemicals from the manufacture and use of the Kamleika, reducing the environmental impact of the fabric whilst maintaining the performance we demand from it. The new bio-membrane is derived from plant-based materials and is a much more sustainable option that is at the cutting edge of membrane technology.

MOUNTAIN FEATURES IN A RUNNING JACKET - The Kamleika offers the enhanced features of a mountain shell in a running jacket. With Fully adjustable cuffs and integrated thumbloops, dynamic droptail, fully adjustable wired and laminated hood plus 2 hand pockets and YKK AquaGuard zips, the Kamleika does not skimp on the extras without tipping the scales.
