Silex Hybrid Jacket

Silex is Rock Experience's innovative hybrid garment that combines the qualities of a power fleece with those of a padded jacket. Silex leverages body mapping technology, using different materials on different parts of the body to adapt to the needs of the wearer during activity. Part of our Ground Up line, developed in collaboration with the Ragni di Lecco mountaineering group, the Silex garment uses Octa yarn, an innovative Japanese hollow fiber that offers superior insulation and thermoregulation compared to other materials.

The body and hood are padded with 60 grams per square meter Holesnet wadding, which maintains thermal insulation while increasing breathability by 30%. The outer fabric is covered in a lightweight, breathable, and windproof 10-denier recycled nylon micro-ripstop. A 4-way stretch pant fabric has been inserted under the armpits and at the center back to facilitate movement, and micro-perforated zones have been developed to enhance breathability. The sleeves feature a Lycra cuff with a thumbhole, keeping the sleeve snug.

Silex uses lightweight YKK chain-link zippers and features two large front pockets, both usable with a harness and long enough to hold climbing skins. The Silex jacket itself is compressible, compact, thanks to a dedicated zip/pocket.

Silex is your ideal companion for summer climbs and as a second layer in the winter. The Silex Hybrid Jacket won the Lagazuoi Winning Ideas Mountain Awards thanks to its many features, motivations, and unique features that convinced the jury to award this innovative Rock Experience product.
