Velocio Launches Trail Access Hardshell Jacket

Londonderry / Amsterdam – 30/10/23 – Velocio announced today the availability of the Trail Access Hardshell, a jacket equipped with Pertex Shield Air membrane that blocks the wind and the rain, allowing the body to breathe and moist to evaporate– 10k waterproof column, 30k breathability.

The Pertex Shield Air membrane uses a precise network of nanoscale pores to allow air movement without letting wind or water in. The result is extreme breathability in the harshest conditions.
