In November 2018, 8 trekkers (4 men and 4 women) and part of the Forclaz design team tested this jacket for 4 days in the southern French Alps (Lus La Croix Haute). You can expect wind, rain, a bit of snow, a bivouac... and a lot of fun! We were then able to make the final modifications and validate it for use for mountain trekking.
