Technical jackets for harsh climates and extreme conditions
Hèskimo offers a selection of technical outerwear designed to offer protection, thermal insulation, and weather resistance. The collection focuses on jackets, parkas, and bomber jackets made from high-performance materials that meet the needs of those facing cold temperatures, wind, and rain, both outdoors and in the city.
Technical materials and functional constructions
The collection's garments utilize various technical solutions to ensure high performance. Many styles are crafted from technical polyester softshell fabric, a material that combines waterproofness and wind resistance while maintaining breathability. Some parkas feature stretch nylon construction combined with elastane, offering freedom of movement and a comfortable fit. Fleece linings enhance thermal insulation, while some padded styles utilize recycled polyester to ensure warmth without compromising lightness. A tailored virgin wool coat completes the offering with a more formal option that offers just as much natural insulation.
Types of outerwear and distinctive features
The collection includes different types of jackets to meet different needs. Technical bomber jackets with adjustable hoods offer a compact and sporty silhouette, ideal for dynamic activities. Long, padded parkas provide extended coverage and superior protection on colder days, with details like two-way zippers and magnetic closures. Technical fleece parkas feature hidden zippers and snap buttons for a clean aesthetic, while the technical trench coat combines more formal lines with outdoor performance. Many styles include adjustable drawstring hoods, heat-sealed zippered pockets for water protection, and elasticized cuffs for an optimal fit.
Fit and contexts of use
Hèskimo garments predominantly feature a regular fit, designed to ensure comfort without restricting movement. This construction makes them suitable for both intensive outdoor use and everyday urban wear, allowing for layering when necessary. The color palette focuses on versatile shades such as blue, black, and military green, with some beige options for the warmer seasons.
Approach to sustainability and technology
Some models incorporate recycled materials into the padding, reflecting a growing focus on more sustainable solutions without compromising technical performance. Fabric technology prioritizes practical features such as waterproofing, abrasion resistance, and insulation, with a pragmatic approach focused on real-world effectiveness rather than purely aesthetic innovation.
