Colturi Channel Vest
Vests are versatile for any layering system, providing core warmth, excellent breathability, and an enhanced range of motion due to no sleeves. With these benefits in mind, Colturi made the Channel Vest. As a women-specific brand, Colturi has taken great care to ensure the Channel Vest exemplifies the ethos "for women, by women." As such, intelligent body mapping can be found throughout, placing materials where needed to enhance breathability whilst retaining warmth for cold-prone areas. The front of the garment, usually exposed to inclement weather, uses JOY insulation, a biomimetic insulation that works similarly to down, but with the quick drying properties of synthetic insulation. For enhanced breathability, Vuelta fleece fabric is used on the lower back and under the arms, helping ensure you can dump heat and moisture on big days in the mountains. Two-Face fabric is used to reinforce the back and shoulders against friction caused by a pack and general wear and tear. The Colturi Channel Vest combines function and fashion into a versatile layering piece that excels across a swath of activities.
