Designed for outdoor enthusiasts, XIONGMAO Eco-Jacket for Hiking & Trail Running is more than just gear—this product redefines what it means to be ready for the wild, delivering high performance with eco-conscious innovation. With its lightweight design and premium, eco-friendly materials, it seamlessly combines environmental responsibility with exceptional functionality, offering unmatched performance in diverse demanding outdoor conditions—all without compromising on comfort. Rooted in the philosophy “designed for the outdoors, born from nature”, this jacket embodies a perfect harmony of eco-friendliness and minimalist elegance, capturing the true spirit of a “BACK TO BASICS” lifestyle.
By harnessing ergonomic data modeling and 3D seamless splicing technology, the jacket weighs only 248g—lighter than four SIS Isotonic Energy Gels. The combination of lightweight fabrics and seamless cutting ensures a slightly relaxed fit, delivering unmatched comfort and unrestricted freedom of movement, whether the wearer is tackling rugged trails or navigating urban streets. The structured hood and the reflective trims strategically placed across the entire garment not only elevate its stylish appeal but also enhance protection and visibility for safer adventures. To further enhance practicality, the jacket features an innovative Pocket-to-Bag self-containing design, allowing it to fold effortlessly into a compact sling bag. This ingenious feature redefines on-the-go convenience, eliminating the burden of carrying bulky outdoor gear while enabling the wearer to transition seamlessly between the rhythm of city life and the call of the wild.
From material selection to manufacturing processes, every element aligns with the highest standards of performance and sustainability. The jacket is crafted from 100% bio-based fabrics, seamlessly integrated with MICROTOP-TEX® AIR microporous membrane technology—a combination that champions eco-consciousness without compromising on breathability. Further reinforced with ultra-high strength Dyneema® fibers, it achieves outstanding wear resistance without sacrificing comfort. No detail has been overlooked in the pursuit of perfection. The SoundMax ultrasonic seam-taping technology and the precisely controlled adhesive overflow process work in harmony, using high-frequency vibrations to create flawless bonds between tapes and fabrics. The result is a jacket that not only excels in waterproof performance but also stands out for its visual refinement and overall quality.
