Crazy Electra Jacket: test by The Pill

Super lightweight jacket for ski mountaineering, compacts to the max to accompany you on every adventure

Crazy’s Electra women’s jacket is designed specifically for ski mountaineering and therefore takes into account one key factor, which is compactness. In addition to being super light, this jacket compresses so that it takes up a tiny space in the backpack, and we know how important it is to be able to rationalize the weights to be carried as best as possible in activities every extra gram affects the quality of the ascent with skins quite a bit. The Electra weighs very little and, when compacted, leaves enough room for sandwich, water bottle, miscellaneous, and more. Polartec Active padding and Ripstop outer lining mean that, once on top, you don’t have to fear cold or wind, and then, because the Crazy people have really thought of everything, the hood is ergonomically designed with an elastic rim to fit perfectly over your hat or helmet. The practical zipper closure, side pockets and water-repellent microfiber cuffs complete the picture, but regardless, the comfort is maximum whether you use it uphill with skins or downhill, split included! Last but not least: we appreciate the variety of colors and styles in which the jacket is available: from black and more elegant total black, to seventies-style three-color combinations to more pop prints (zebra pattern included).
