Escapa presents a jacket that combines the qualities of a winter jacket with the fit of a jersey.

The Etxeondo Teknika Jacket combines the benefits of a winter jacket—protection against the cold—with the excellent fit of a long-sleeve jersey. The result is a lightweight and highly breathable jacket. Two fabrics are used in the construction of this jacket: Gore-Tex Infinium Windstopper, used on the entire front and the upper back, and Thermosystem Termika for the sleeves and the lower half of the back.

The qualities of a winter jacket with the perfect fit of a long-sleeve jersey

The chest, abdomen, neck, and surrounding muscles are protected by Gore-Tex Infinium Windstopper fabric, which offers total wind resistance while maintaining a stable body temperature. The outer layer of the fabric also features a water-repellent treatment to limit water penetration on rainy days without compromising the fabric’s properties in these areas of the body.

Thermosystem Termika fabric is used on the sleeves and the lower half of the back; its main benefit is thermoregulation, which maintains body temperature by creating a layer of air between the skin and the fabric that expels excess body heat to the outside while preventing the cold from coming into contact with the skin. In addition, the Thermosystem Termika fabric helps improve the jacket’s fit thanks to its elasticity.

No inner fleece is used on the front, and in combination with the fabric on the back, this provides high breathability, allowing moisture from sweat to escape in any situation, including moments of maximum exertion when sweating increases.

The jacket features a Slim Fit cut—an aerodynamic, body-hugging fit designed to reduce air resistance and enhance the performance of the Gore-Tex Infinium Windstopper fabric.

Reflective details are added to the back to enhance the cyclist’s safety in low-visibility conditions; it features three comfortable, easily accessible elastic back pockets; and the jacket’s sporty style is accentuated by a range of bright, eye-catching colors.
