iXS, the Swiss clothing brand owned by the Hostettler Group, has introduced the ‘Evans-ST’ 100% polyester jacket. Available for men and women, it is said to be completely waterproof, breathable and wind-resistant with a solto-TEX lining and “innovative ventilation system with four closable ventilation openings expanding the temperature range considerably”.
The hard-wearing 600D Polyoxford outer material is abrasion-resistant and the light polyester mesh lining includes a water barrier; there is also a removable thermal lining. The jacket “fits perfectly thanks to the various adjustment options”, including width adjustment at the cuffs, waist and jacket hem, along with adjustable elbow and upper arm width. There are four external and three internal pockets.
The elbow protectors can be adjusted in height and to the individual arm length. An all-round zip connects the jacket to all the current iXS trouser models and reflecting transfer prints aid visibility. There are five colour versions to choose from for men and three for women.
The shoulder and elbow protectors have been tested in accordance with EN 1621-1:2012, level 1. There is also a pocket for a back protector (available separately), certified according to EN 1621-2:2014, level 2.
