Worn in combination the Core & Sleeves give you equivalent
overlayering insulation to the Torres Jacket - but with the added flexibilility
which comes from having three garments in one. Looks like a jacket, works like a
jacket but you have three options to fine-tune your comfort!
Torres Core
. Hooded insulated gilet
. Fully
insulated hood
. Insulated hand-warming pockets
Torres Sleeves
. Easy to overlayer without removing
pack
. Speedily delivers heat to whole body
. Maintains circulation to the
hands
Together
. Combine systemically to give you an insulated
jacket
. Elasticated, capped sleeves seal in heat and keep out
water
. Whichever order you put them on, they still work together!
The result:
Highly packable insulation giving you three options in one
Minimal pack size and weight that works well even in the wet.
Ideal for
any activity which could involve periods of sustained low temperatures - winter
climbers and walkers, alpinists or Arctic explorers, skiers, Mountain Rescue,
