hello everyone welcome to singletrack
0:16
christmas countdown day 13 i'm ross and
0:18
this is hannah and today we are going to
0:21
be showing you and giving away
0:23
some jackets from altura okay so this is
0:27
a waterproof jacket its official title
0:30
is the altura ridge lightweight pertex
0:33
waterproof jacket it certainly is but
0:36
what that means is it's a waterproof
0:38
jacket
0:39
with
0:40
a
0:42
soft shell insert on the back wow okay
0:44
so two different materials two different
0:46
materials so this back fabric is a
0:49
little bit more breathable okay and a
0:50
little bit more stretchy so that it's
0:51
really comfy when you're riding
0:53
especially when you've got sweaty back
0:55
with your backpack on
0:57
uh it's got loads of ventilation this
0:59
jacket actually it's got these cool
1:00
gills i really like these gills so they
1:02
run kind of down the side by almost well
1:04
touching the material you just said it's
1:06
like more breathable and you can kind of
1:08
see them nice and clearly on the inside
1:09
there
1:10
along with all those tape seams you can
1:12
see i've got really contrasting colors
1:14
it's fully waterproof fully seam sealed
1:16
on the inside which yeah let's see there
1:20
and you've also got some front
1:22
ventilation okay which is kind of tucked
1:24
away
1:25
at the front
1:27
above the access to the pockets
1:29
so
1:30
uh the
1:31
the front zip above it has your
1:34
flap for ventilation and below it has
1:37
your access to your pockets
1:39
now i really like these pockets because
1:41
they're substantial sized voluminous
1:45
really big for getting a handle and
1:46
keeping stuff in there yeah but they've
1:48
also got each of them has got a little
1:51
mesh pouch in there there you go so that
1:54
mesh pouch means you can put your phone
1:56
in it so that your phone isn't kind of
1:57
floating around in the big pocket
1:59
or you can stash all your little sort of
2:02
fly away blow away bits of wrapper and
2:04
that kind of thing so that when you do
2:06
put your hands in your pockets and you
2:07
take them out again you don't also leave
2:09
a trail of dropping trail debris
2:11
everywhere behind you so an altura do
2:14
you care about the environment this is
2:16
their mouth part of their mountain bike
2:18
range okay and they've not had a
2:20
mountain bike range for a few years now
2:22
um and so they've like spent a lot of
2:24
time developing and designing a whole
2:26
new kind of package right okay mountain
2:28
bike clothing and along with that
2:30
they've been looking at the
2:31
environmental impact so there's little
2:33
features like these tags are attached
2:35
with like a
2:36
a cord instead of a plastic so the usual
2:39
plastic you might get right that's great
2:40
they've also been cutting down on
2:42
plastic by
2:44
this is not a plastic bag that your
2:45
clothes come in no it comes with a
2:47
cornstarch bag fully biodegradable yep
2:49
and then these are not silica gel
2:52
that sound like a marker spencer's
2:53
effects these are not silky gel packets
2:55
these are little packets of clay right
2:57
so they're designed to take the any
2:58
moisture out and so that's 100 fully
3:01
biodegradable
3:03
which is great yeah so the jackets
3:05
themselves
3:06
that's the female specific and they do a
3:08
male specific the pertex in the name
3:11
you'll notice from the front of the
3:12
jacket refers obviously to the material
3:14
itself the waterproof material it's
3:15
pertex shield and it's full-on like for
3:19
bad days kind of jacket with a big hood
3:21
that fits over the helmet
3:24
yep um and it's got a little bit of a
3:26
stiffened front to it yeah you can see
3:27
the peak on the front there you can see
3:28
the shape of that for keeping the worst
3:30
of the elements out when you're out in
3:31
all weather it's got a little draw cord
3:33
on the back as well so that you can get
3:34
it
3:35
nice and tight that's great blow off i
3:37
hate that when you set off down the hill
3:39
it's bellows behind yeah
3:41
so it's also got a
3:44
little adjustments at the wrists so it's
3:46
got elastic in the wrist as well and the
3:48
cuff is kind of extra long so it'll come
3:51
over and meet your gloves so if you've
3:52
got your waterproof gloves on yeah then
3:55
the water is going to run down
3:57
and then over the top of your gloves and
3:59
not into your gloves that's great and
4:00
there's also adjustment on the actual
4:02
kind of how tight it is around there to
4:04
really kind of cinch it up isn't there
4:05
and this is not actually velcro it's
4:08
something like velcro but this hook and
4:10
loop bit of it yeah
4:12
is like a kind of plastic thing it's
4:13
more of a solid plastic so it should be
4:16
a lot more durable for those times when
4:18
you kind of gloves on jacket on open
4:20
shut yeah open shut up and it doesn't
4:21
feel to me like it's going to stick to
4:23
all the other things like some sometimes
4:25
that part of velcro just kind of feels
4:28
fills with fluff off your base layer and
4:29
never works again
4:32
so
4:33
