New 🎉 Forclaz Travel100, Compact 🎒 Backpacking Jacket, 👩 Women’s Hiking Clothing 🔔

The best ratio of durability/space taken up in a backpack.

Our backpacker-designers created this waterproof jacket for traveling around the world on foot with peace of mind over several days.

Did you know that your TRAVEL100 JACKET has been eco-designed?

The outer fabric is recycled polyester; this component reduces CO2 emissions by 5.6% compared to non-recycled polyester.
The mesh lining is also recycled polyester and self-dyed, this new process reducing CO2 emissions by 63%.
The fabric used to line the sleeves is grey because it mixes a self-dyed black yarn and an undyed yarn. Compared to conventional dyeing, this process reduces CO2 emissions by 45%.

The security of your belongings: it’s paramount!

When travel backpacking, what could be worse than losing your passport or getting your phone stolen?
To prevent this, so that you can enjoy your experience with total peace of mind, we have added a large discreet pocket on the chest. It lets you organize your things and attach your keys to the carabiner. The waterproof case lets you continue taking pictures if it’s humid, or simply protect your passport in case of heavy rain.

Hardwearing clothing for backpackers!

When preparing your backpack, you always wonder whether the clothing you have packed will measure up to your adventures and whether it is strong enough! We select materials and constructions that guarantee solidity. For example, for this jacket, we submitted the fabrics to Martindale tests to reproduce the abrasion of backpack straps on the shoulders.

Hardwearing clothing for backpackers … and then some?

The jacket has undergone an accelerated aging test through hydrolysis (10 days at high temperature with a humidity rate close to 100%). We saw no degradation of the fabric’s coating and thus level of waterproofing. So we are sure that the jacket’s waterproofness will be maintained over time.

If you come home in the dark…

We have added reflective tabs on the cuffs. WARNING, these tabs aren’t standardized, they do not guarantee complete safety.
When you want, you can turn the tightening tab around the wrist to uncover the reflective zones.
Warning, these parts are not PPE (PERSONAL PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT).
