7lsevenlayer Modular Down Outer Parka – moonless blue

The MDO (Modular Down Outer) is an extremely unique design. It is manufactured from 94% polyester and 6% spandex which not only creates a dynamic stretch for comfort but is also highly durable for active outdoor pursuits. Its external shell fabric is a 3-layer fabric with a membrane sandwiched between the outer shell and the inner tricot finish. The membrane is designed and manufactured by Schoeller and is called C change.
The material contains a membrane layer which is set to a predetermined temperature range. Once the climate inside the garment warms (due to physical exertion or higher ambient temperatures), the polymer membrane structure opens up to allow water vapour to escape through the membrane.
As the temperature falls, the membrane closes to its original structure, preserving body heat. This is inspired by pine cones which open and close in response to changes in ambient temperature. Clever!
If for whatever reason you do get too warm, the arms on the MDO are removed via YKK zippers and a purposely designed pouch helps stowe the arms away (in the inside lining of the garment) so you don’t leave them behind.
Its hydrophobic properties repel water and create a beading effect that protects the fabric and wearer from heavy downpours. On the inside, you’ll find +800FP (Fill Power) 90/10 (Feathers to Cluster) water repelling down by DOWNTEK, with high premium down clusters that trap pockets of air. Those pockets insulate, keeping you warm and comfortable and help maintain your core body climate.
