Mens Orkan II Waterproof Shell Jacket (Orange/Navy)
Engineered for serious alpine pursuits, the ORKAN is built to protect you from the elements while respecting the planet you explore. This hard shell uses a 3-layer PFAS-free fabric with a 50% recycled polyester ripstop face and a 100% recycled polyester backer, delivering rugged performance with a lighter footprint.
At its core is the advanced eVent® Storm ST membrane, made from bio-based PA11 and powered by Direct Venting™ technology. It blocks wind and water while maximizing breathability, so moisture escapes as fast as you build it. From sleet to sideways rain to exposed summits, the ORKAN keeps pace.
Designed for demanding terrain, it features a helmet-compatible hood, fully taped seams, and an articulated fit that moves with you. Certified by Oeko-Tex® and the Global Recycled Standard (GRS), it proves technical gear can be high-performing and environmentally conscious.
