Protector Brother 5.0 Jacket
Details of the product
As the name suggests this is the "stronger brother" of our most successful waterproof hardshell jacket PROTECTOR 5.0 JACKET. This one is made in a special khaki colour from a more durable higher weight laminate. This ensures high strength and durability but at the same time maintains the properties and elasticity of BlocVent. The elaborately designed hood with a 3D pulling system is also compatible with a helmet and the microfleece on the back helps to wick sweat away in the neck area. The cuffs can be tightened quickly and easily with a single quick move. There is also a ventilation system for immediate regulation of thermal comfort. The ideal choice for use is climbing and trekking in the mountains, alpine hiking, ski mountaineering, skiing etc. We recommend using it together with Protector 5.0 Pants.

Technical description:
- Protector 5.0 has many practical features and 5 pockets in total. The two spacious lower pockets are ideal for gloves, for example, or just put your hands there if you want to keep them warm. They’re carefully placed to be perfectly accessible even if you have a lumbar belt fastened and a backpack on your back. A practical chest pocket is ideal for everything you need to have at hand quickly. The pocket is deep so nothing falls out after opening and it is accessible even when the upper strap of the backpack is fastened. Hide your small items or ski pass in the practical pocket on the sleeve. All pockets have laminated "garages" in the upper part which cover the upper openings and the zipper slider.
- An inner pocket is laminated on the lining. You can use it for everything you need to keep safe and 100% dry, such as IDs or your mobile phone. The pocket has a hole for the headphone cable.
- You may get hot during high physical activity. For this purpose, there is generous ventilation in the armpit. Be sure to close the holes when it rains or cools down. The zipper sliders are positioned so that there is no need to think in which direction to close. Simply always pull both riders down and you are good to go.
- All pockets and ventilation holes are protected by waterproof zippers by a Japanese manufacturer YKK, which guarantees of great functionality and reliability.
- The hood is a real masterpiece here. It is also designed to be used with a helmet. However, even without a helmet, it can be perfectly tuned on the head thanks to a unique triple 3D pulling. Everything can be adjusted very easily and quickly with one hand and even in gloves. A pleasant microfleece is laminated to increase comfort inside the neck area. A functional, reinforced peak contributes to perfection.
- The sleeves are anatomically shaped at the elbows and they can be perfectly adjusted using an ingenious solution – with one hand and even in gloves.
- You can easily adjust the lower end of the jacket circumference as you need it.
- The back of the jacket is extended.
- The main zipper has a protective microfleece on the chin to avoid scratching. The YKK brand from the AquaGuard series is waterproof and additionally underlaid with a laminated layer so the zipper will never get stuck in anything. The zipper can also be divided from the bottom, so you can conveniently unzip the bottom of the jacket. Putting on your harness will be much easier.
- All seams are taped to increase the waterproofness.
- There is really nothing pleasant about having your jacket halfway up your waist when you lift your arms. This won't happen thanks to the sophisticated cut. Comfort is further enhanced by the elasticity of the material.
- What else to say? Well the most important information! We made this jacket in our own workshop in Sušice in Šumava, so we guarantee you perfect workmanship and trouble-free service if anything happens to your jacket.
