CMP Unlimitech hybrid jacket: test by The Pill

Passe partout jacket: from hiking to ski mountaineering, this garment is functional, versatile and competitively priced

Designed for high-intensity activity enthusiasts, this jacket is a perfect compromise between comfort, weight and price, and is also a great companion for days on the rock. We tested it during a speed hiking session as well as for an altitude climb, and we have to say that it did not disappoint expectations: the excellent quality/price ratio makes it a passe partout garment, perfect to have for those who love outdoor activities and are looking for a multipurpose garment. The combo of light softshell and Stretch Performance fleece ensures the right balance of freedom of movement and protection, which is also maximized by the inner front chafing and windproof insert. An extra point is then the thumb hole at the bottom of the sleeves, an indispensable detail for us when it comes to outdoor activities. Since this is a passe partout jacket, it is fully accessorized with zippers and side pockets. The nice thing about this softshell is that although the range of its uses is quite wide, it does not lack in functionality and performance. So we can talk for all intents and purposes about versatility meeting the most important technical aspects: clearly it is not the right garment to face a storm, but of wind and autumn cold you will not have to be afraid.
