The AWA M2 from Dainese is a ski jacket with a dual-layering system made up of a three-layer waterproof breathable outer shell and an insulated, packable inner jacket. The AWA M2comes in Black-Iris, Stretch-Limo and Tender-Yellow. The jacket has a stylish design with attractive printed glossy pattern along the undersleeve and sides resembling a space suit Dainese engineered for astronauts, it exudes a high-quality finish that can be both seen and felt, and a flattering slim fit, giving you a trimmer profile and reducing bulk; nobody wants to look like the Michelin Man on the slopes. The outer shell is made from Dainese’s D-Dry Plus, which has a proprietary microporous laminated structure that forms a waterproof and breathable layer, preventing water from getting in whilst allowing moisture and heat to escape.

The 3-layer construction includes an ultra-lightweight scrim fabric that is laminated on the back of the waterproof/breathable layer, sandwiching between the scrim, the membrane and the face fabric, making it lighter, more packable and more durable. To keep you warm in the winter wonderland the inner jacket has 100g PrimaLoft Silver insulation, this provides warmth without the bulk, keeps the weight low, ensures water resistance and allows for breathability (30.000 g/m2/24hrs). The AWA M2, fully sealed seams to keep out rain and snow (outer jacket only), arm pocket in translucent laminated fabric, YKK AquaGuard VISLON water repellent front zipper, rollout hood in translucent laminated fabric that stows away in the collar, side zip vents for when things get a little toasty and a snow skirt with loops for integration (for when you skid down the slope on your butt). This high-quality jacket will keep you warm, dry and looking sharp on the slopes, while the removable inner jacket makes the AWA M2 a versatile choice, letting you shed a layer on milder days.
