Inselberg Axiom Waterproof Shell Jacket Men's

Description

The Axiom Shell is built for prolonged exposure in severe alpine conditions, where protection, structure, and reliability take precedence. Developed in collaboration with Aoraki Mount Cook Alpine Rescue professionals, it was created to meet the needs of those operating in technical terrain under sustained snow, wind, and freezing rain.

The 140-denier face fabric is paired with a 4-layer Toray Dermizax system, combining a microporous hydrophobic membrane and a hydrophilic interior layer. This construction delivers stable, long-term waterproofing and internal moisture regulation without relying on open-pore technology—maintaining performance even when the shell is saturated or heavily used.

Cut for alpine layering, the Axiom preserves range of motion for climbing and rescue scenarios. Pit zips allow mechanical venting during periods of high output, while the Dual-Access chest pocket enables clean access beneath pack straps or rescue systems. Every seam, pocket, and closure was refined for operation in serious winter environments—supporting those who stay out when others head in.
