Directalpine is a Czch brand
The hood is part of the collar and can be adjusted horizontally as well as vertically. It is adequately large to fit over a helmet. It does not restrict field of view in all directions and affords free head movement.
Anatomically shaped with sleeves, which do not limit movement of arms. The sleeve is anatomically shaped, with Velcro regulated wrist cuff.
The basic fabric is stretchable – affords increased mobility.

Can be regulated around the waist by elastic string, through simple manipulation from inside the pockets.

Adequately extended back portion.

The front part has been shortened to give legs better mobility while climbing. The bottom rim of the jacket is adjustable by an elastic pull-string (even in gloves); the end of the pull-string is inside the jacket.

Outside zippers are impermeable, without the covering flap (simplified manipulation).

Garment is ventilated through pocket openings (can reach pockets in the underlying layers).

There are two outside and one inside pockets in the chest area.

Foldable tote bag from waterproof material is included with the product.

Amazingly I stumbled over this jacket. A CZ hardshell finding it's way to my hemisphere!!

At first glance I was captured by the looks of it. The jacket have a sharp technical cut in nice colors. Anyway, I trusted my intuition and took the jacket for a climb and I must say "I was pretty amazed." The technical performance was outstanding and we hit some pretty nasty weather during our climb and the jacket really saved my day(s).

After my return, I read about the Entrant Dermizax mebrane used in the jacket.

Pretty cool stuff!! I found out that both the US and the Canadian Alpine Ski teams are using it in their gear.

Important notes:

Max. protection in bad weather

Genius technical features

Low weight

1. After trekking ca 100 km in rainy weather conditions - bottom and hood rim around rubber cord was unfasten from clued fixing. The disadvantage was progressive.

While producer -Direct Alpine- promised 24 months of warranty on sales tag, I contacted directly to them due to local dealer's stopping business with them.

2.Following is response from Direct Alpine:
"We are the producer and do not have any relationships with final customer (as you are). We are selling our products to the shops or distributors and they have relations with final customers. We don't have any duty to solve that."

3.In summary local dealer in Estonia clued himself the rim of Devil Alpine.

This was the attitude of Direct Alpine. Decide your future buying Devil Alpine:)
