TWO SMART LAYERS TO TACKLE THE MOUNTAINS, THE SLOPES, AND CHANGEABLE DAYS

Why a jacket with two layers is essential for mountain enthusiasts 

In the mountains, where weather conditions can change within minutes, a two-layer jacket represents the smartest solution for ski touring, high-altitude trekking, and winter excursions. The Minto and Magnetic Pole jackets by 75°06'S embody this philosophy, offering versatility, protection, and comfort in one modular system.

"Two Layers" - what it means and why it is useful

A technical two-layer jacket consists of:

Insulating inner layer: a padded jacket featuring advanced DomeAir® thermal technology, which uses air as a natural insulator to retain body heat without adding weight.

Waterproof outer shell: a windproof and rainproof shell made from durable ripstop fabric, with breathable membranes that protect against snow, rain, and strong winds.

This modular construction allows you to wear both layers together on the coldest days, or separately when temperature and activity level require it — ensuring maximum adaptability in the mountains.

Smart Thermoregulation During Activity

Physical exertion in the mountains constantly fluctuates. A two-layer system allows you to adjust insulation in seconds, preventing the dangerous cycle of excessive sweating followed by rapid cooling.

Minto and Magnetic Pole: Technical Performance for Every Condition

Versatility is the key word.

During a ski touring or off-piste outing, thermal needs change continuously: climbing with skins requires breathability, while descending demands protection and warmth. With the Minto and Magnetic Pole jackets, you can:

• Start with both layers combined in extremely cold conditions

• Remove the inner layer during ascents to prevent overheating

• Reassemble the system for descents or when temperatures drop

Ideal for Trekking and Multi-Day Excursions

For high-altitude trekking or multi-day alpine hikes, weight and pack space are critical factors. A two-layer system reduces the need to carry multiple jackets:

• Outer shell alone for windy or rainy spring days

• Insulating inner layer for dry cold or hut stops

• Full system for extreme winter conditions

Urban Comfort and Everyday Wear

Minto and Magnetic Pole are born in the mountains but naturally extend into urban life. Their strength lies in technical design paired with a clean, conscious aesthetic: garments created to accompany you throughout winter without ever feeling out of place — even far from the slopes.

Magnetic Pole is a statement of style. The asymmetrical front zip breaks the pattern of the classic technical jacket and transforms a performance piece into a distinctive design element. It’s ideal for those who appreciate unconventional silhouettes, even within a sporty language. This is a jacket that stands out without raising its voice — perfect for those who live the city with the same exploratory spirit they bring to the mountains.

Minto, in its Dark Night shade — as deep as the Arctic night — expresses a more essential and versatile elegance. Its regular fit prioritizes comfort and freedom of movement, while the front pockets become true everyday tools: accessible and immediate, designed for those constantly on the move, navigating the city without pause and wanting essentials always within reach — without repeatedly opening backpacks or bags.

In both cases, the two-layer modularity adapts to the rhythm of urban life: protection when needed, lightness when context shifts. It’s the same design intelligence that works at altitude, applied to the complexity of daily city life.

DomeAir® Technology: Next-Generation Thermal Insulation

The DomeAir® technology used in the inner layer of the Minto and Magnetic Pole jackets relies on micro air chambers to create superior thermal insulation while maintaining lightness and compressibility. This system ensures:

• Excellent warmth-to-weight ratio

• Breathability even during intense activity

• Rapid shape recovery after compression

Ripstop Fabric and Waterproof Membranes: Guaranteed Protection

The ripstop outer shell provides tear and abrasion resistance — essential features for mountaineering and tree skiing. Waterproof and windproof membranes ensure:

• Complete protection from rain and snow

• Breathability to prevent internal moisture buildup

• Wind resistance even in extreme conditions

The Advantages of Choosing a Modular Two-Layer Jacket

Complete Seasonal Adaptability

A two-layer jacket dramatically extends its period of use:

• Winter: full system for skiing and mountaineering

• Spring: inner layer for cold mornings, shell for evening protection

• Autumn: outer shell for rainy hikes

Optimized Pack Weight

For ski tourers, multi-day trekkers, and mountaineers, every gram matters. Instead of carrying a heavy insulated jacket and a separate shell, a two-layer system offers three configurations in a single garment.

Long-Term Cost Efficiency

Investing in a high-quality modular technical jacket like Minto or Magnetic Pole means replacing the need for a heavy winter jacket, a waterproof shell, and a mid-season jacket.
