KARPOS ODLE EVO FULL ZIP FLEECE JACKET Kambaba/Dark citron

The Karpos Odle Evo Full Zip Fleece is a technical jacket made from recycled polyester and elastane, designed for ski touring, hiking and high-intensity winter activities. As a versatile mid-layer, it offers an excellent balance of thermal insulation and breathability without restricting freedom of movement on challenging terrain.

Conditions and intended use

It is a technical mid-layer for high-intensity winter sports. The jacket is an ideal choice for ski tourers and mountaineers who need effective protection from the cold during aerobic activity. The material’s inner microstructure efficiently retains warmth while allowing moisture to wick away quickly, helping to prevent overheating on steep ascents.

Key features and materials

• Recycled polyester with microstructure: The blend of 93 % polyester and 7 % elastane provides softness, stretch and optimal thermal insulation at a low weight of 430 g.
• YKK® zips: All the zips on the garment are by the renowned YKK brand, ensuring smooth, reliable operation even in extremely cold conditions.
• Heat-welded chest pocket: An additional small chest pocket provides secure storage for small items without excess seams that could cause chafing.
• Elasticated hems: An elasticated hem at the bottom of the body and at the cuffs helps keep cold air out and holds the jacket in place.

Performance in use

On technical ski-touring ascents, the material’s inner microstructure efficiently wicks away sweat and helps prevent overheating beneath a rucksack.

On fast descents or in windy conditions, the jacket works well as an insulating mid-layer under a windproof jacket or a technical membrane jacket.

On all-day winter hikes, the elasticated cuffs and hem keep the garment in place even during intense movement and when using hiking poles.

Fit

The jacket has a Regular Fit cut, allowing it to be worn comfortably over a base layer and beneath an outer protective jacket. The stretchy material adapts to the body’s shape, providing complete freedom of movement when climbing or skiing.
