A four-season adventure jacket, the LS2 X-Master has adventure and mountain gear design themes that will certainly stand out in a crowd. Technical aspects include a triple-layer design with a removable thermal liner, and a 15k Sheltex Plus waterproof layer that can be worn either under or over the outer shell. The shell is made from high-density ripstop fabric with CE level 2 armour fitted at the shoulder and elbows (with a pocket for a back protector), which results in an AA rating for protection.
The distinctive side zip main opening means that there is room for a huge chest vent to provide ventilation, with a similarly expansive rear exhaust vent. It also allows for a large front pocket, as well as the usual array of handwarmer, internal, external and pouch pockets you would expect on a jacket built for adventure. The X-Master comes in a choice of four colours, with black trousers available to match, at £329.99 for the jacket and £239.99 for the trousers.
