Designed to withstand storms and outdoor activities in extreme conditions, the Compressport Thunderstorm Waterproof 25/75 jacket features enhanced rain protection and breathability.
Billed as ‘the ultimate protection against rain and wind’, the Thunderstorm has a 3-layer membrane utilising Schmerber Japanese fabric. A special DWR (durable water repellent) treatment turns water droplets into beads that roll off the surface of the jacket, preventing any infiltration inside.
Compressport adds that another benefit is that when the rain goes away, simply shaking the jacket will easily eliminate the water droplets. It dries quickly whether hung up or folded in its accompanying bag.
‘The 3-layer membrane also allows for breathability with a 75,000 MVTR rating. Sweat is evacuated, while water cannot penetrate. Base layers can remain dry, regardless of speed, intensity of effort, or strength of the rain.’
With its carefully sealed zipper and seams, this jacket combines 25,000 Schmerber water resistance (2.5 times more waterproof than Compressport’s Hurricane 10/10 model) with a breathability index of 75,000 MVTR.
‘The fitted and ergonomic cut avoids any uncomfortable excess material. No discomfort, no noise, and no wind resistance (parachute effect) during descents.’
A specific design at the base of the neck ensures that the fitted hood doesn’t obstructs vision. Meanwhile, a full-length, ergonomically designed self-locking zipper features protective garages at both ends for more waterproofing and protection.
Ultra-lightweight at only 126g, the jacket can be folded quickly.
The new Thunderstorm Waterproof 25/75 jacket retails for €350 / £350 and is available in black for both men and women.
