Description

Présentation

DRYFLEECE est une gamme de produits conçue comme une protection technique pour accompagner chaque phase de vos sessions, avec un objectif clair : rester au chaud, au sec et mobile, quelles que soient les conditions.

La veste courte, déclinée de notre poncho originel, est pensée pour un usage lifestyle en “off-session” offrant une barrière efficace contre le vent, la pluie et le froid grâce à sa construction en nylon imperméable 10K, ses coutures collées et sa doublure polaire séchante.

SIZES AND FIT

The DRYFLEECE jacket has a less loose fit in the body and arms. It's shorter, designed for a more lifestyle-oriented look: it's perfect for layering over your everyday outfit.

The sleeves are fitted but comfortable, with a tightening tab at the bottom of the sleeve to keep in warmth on cold days.

Its length effectively protects the entire upper body, allowing freedom of movement for the lower body.

Our jackets are unisex, available in sizes XS to XXL, with a straight, long cut. We recommend choosing your usual size for optimal layering with your other clothing.

Buying guide

For whom?

The DRYFLEECE Jacket is designed for watersports enthusiasts who want to stay warm, dry, and protected from the wind before and after their session, in a short and easy-to-wear style. Whether you're surfing, wing foiling, kitesurfing, SUPing, windsurfing, or foiling, it's especially suited to cold, windy, or rainy days when you need real protection on the water without the length of a parka.

Its cut at the hips also makes it a particularly versatile piece. It retains the technical features developed for the demands of the sport, but in a format closer to a classic jacket, easy to keep with you for travel and everyday wear.

Why choose a dryfleece jacket?

Its main advantage is that it combines three levels of protection in a single jacket: waterproof, windproof, and warm . The coated nylon outer fabric offers 10,000 mm waterproofing and blocks the wind, while the soft DRYFLEECE fleece lining provides warmth and comfort.

This combination makes perfect sense both before and after a session. The jacket protects you from the elements while you prepare your gear or wait for conditions, and its warm lining allows you to quickly regain comfort after getting out of the water , when the cold, humidity, and wind combine.

Jacket or dryfleece parka?

Both models share the same protection features: 10,000 mm waterproof rating, windproof construction, and a warm DRYFLEECE lining . The choice therefore depends primarily on the desired length and level of coverage .

Choose the DRYFLEECE Jacket if you value freedom of movement, packability, and versatility. Its hip-length cut makes it more practical for moving around, driving, preparing your gear, and keeping your jacket on all day.

Choose the DRYFLEECE Parka if maximum coverage is your priority. Its mid-thigh/knee length provides more protection for the hips and legs and offers extra comfort when you're standing still for long periods in the cold, rain, or wind.

Dryfleece jacket or overshirt?

Here, the choice depends primarily on the weather conditions . The DRYFLEECE jacket is waterproof to 10,000 mm and windproof : it is therefore the most suitable when rain, splashes, wind and humidity are part of the plan.

The DRYFLEECE overshirt is windproof but not waterproof . It's better suited to cool and windy conditions when you don't need full rain protection. Aesthetics are another important factor: the overshirt has a more lifestyle look, while the jacket prioritizes a more technical construction.

After the session

The DRYFLEECE fleece lining is designed to offer warmth, softness, moisture absorption, and quick drying . It allows you to quickly regain a feeling of comfort after exertion and makes a real difference compared to a simple unlined waterproof jacket.

The sleeves are intentionally lined with soft polyester along their entire length. Your arms slide easily into the sleeves , even when you're still damp or wearing a layer underneath. A simple but essential detail when putting on your jacket immediately after a session.

Choose what you wear underneath

Adapt your layers to the conditions and the time spent outdoors. The DRYFLEECE lining already provides significant thermal insulation, but in very cold weather or during long periods of waiting, an additional thermal layer can increase the level of warmth.

If you plan to regularly wear several layers underneath, ensure you have enough room when choosing your size. A jacket that's too tight restricts comfort and freedom of movement , especially when wearing thicker clothing.

On the spot

The two-way , TPU-coated, waterproof central zipper allows for easy adjustment of the jacket's opening. The bottom opening provides greater freedom of movement, especially when seated or active, while still keeping the upper body protected.

Adjustable cuffs allow you to customize the sleeves to suit the layers worn underneath and minimize air and water entry. When conditions worsen, properly adjusting the jacket's vents ensures you benefit fully from its protection.

Pockets and storage

The STORM-constructed outer pockets feature wide piping positioned above their opening to limit direct water entry. Their fleece lining also provides real comfort when you need to warm your hands between sessions.

The interior compartments allow you to separate sensitive items and accessories from the gear stored in the exterior pockets. However, for a phone or any electronic equipment that absolutely must remain dry, use a dedicated waterproof cover : a waterproof jacket doesn't automatically transform every pocket into a waterproof compartment.

Mistakes to avoid

The first mistake would be to choose between the DRYFLEECE Jacket and Parka, assuming the parka is necessarily more waterproof. Their main difference is the coverage , not their level of protection: both are 10K waterproof and windproof. The parka simply covers a much larger area of the body.

Don't confuse waterproof with clothing designed for immersion. The DRYFLEECE Jacket is designed to protect you from the elements on land . It is neither a wetsuit nor clothing intended for use in water.

The right associations

The DRYFLEECE Jacket is the perfect complement to a wetsuit and neoprene accessories suited to the conditions . The neoprene provides thermal protection during your session; the jacket takes over as soon as you return to land to insulate you from the cold, wind, and rain.

When temperatures drop sharply, supplement your gear with thermal layers and accessories to protect your extremities. This creates a modular outfit that you can adapt to temperature, wind, precipitation, and the time spent at the spot.

Good to know

The DRYFLEECE Jacket can be considered the short version of the DRYFLEECE Parka : same philosophy of protection and comfort, but with a length to the hip which prioritizes mobility and versatility.

This is the model to choose if you want the benefits of 10K waterproofing, windproofing, and DRYFLEECE warmth without wearing a long jacket. It therefore occupies a very clear position in the range: more protective against the rain than the DRYFLEECE Overshirt, and more compact and portable than the DRYFLEECE Parka.

Is the DRYFLEECE jacket really waterproof?

Yes. Its coated nylon outer fabric offers 10,000 mm of waterproofing to protect you from rain and splashes on the water. Its construction is further enhanced by features designed for wet conditions, including a TPU-coated waterproof zipper and STORM-constructed external pockets to minimize water infiltration.

What are the changes compared to the old DRYFLEECE jacket?

This new version benefits from several targeted improvements to enhance reliability, protection, and comfort while moving. - The main zipper has been upgraded to a more robust and waterproof model, designed for increased durability while improving protection against water infiltration.
- The side pockets now adopt a STORM construction, with a wide piping protecting their opening to better limit water entry.
Finally, the proportions have been completely revised to offer greater comfort and freedom of movement, especially when the jacket is worn on the slopes or over multiple layers. This evolution retains the DNA of the DRYFLEECE Jacket while significantly improving its comfort, protection, and durability.

Does the DRYFLEECE jacket really keep you warm?

Yes. It's windproof in addition to being 10K waterproof. This creates a barrier against wind, rain, and splashes. Its ultra-soft DRYFLEECE fleece lining is designed to provide warmth and comfort before and after your session. It also offers good moisture absorption and quick-drying properties, which are especially appreciated when you get out of the water.

What is the difference between the DRYFLEECE Jacket and Parka?

The main difference is the length. Both offer 10K waterproof and windproof protection, along with a warm DRYFLEECE lining, but the jacket stops at the hips while the parka extends to the knee. Choose the jacket for greater mobility and versatility; choose the parka to maximize coverage and lower body thermal protection.

What is the difference between the DRYFLEECE Jacket and Overshirt?

The key difference lies in the conditions of use. The DRYFLEECE Jacket is waterproof (10,000 mm) and windproof: it's designed to withstand wind, rain, and wet conditions. The DRYFLEECE Overshirt is windproof but not waterproof. It's therefore better suited to cool and windy conditions when rain protection isn't a priority.

Can it be put on easily when it's still wet?

Yes. The sleeves are fully lined with a soft, smooth polyester , so your arms can easily slip inside even after a session. This allows you to enjoy the warmth of DRYFLEECE against your body without the snag of a fleece lining when putting the sleeves on.

Why choose a short jacket rather than a long parka?

For greater freedom of movement and versatility. Its hip-length hem is particularly practical for preparing your gear, walking, driving, or keeping the jacket on all day. If you'll be remaining still for extended periods in very cold conditions or want more protection for your thighs and hips, a longer parka will be more suitable.

Can the DRYFLEECE jacket be worn on a daily basis?

Yes. Even though its technical features were designed for the demands of outdoor activities, its compact size makes it easy to use as a warm and waterproof jacket for everyday wear. That's precisely the advantage of this version: maintaining DRYFLEECE's technical protection in a versatile format.
