The Killtec KOW 177 BYS SFTSHLL JCKT junior softshell jacket is designed to accompany young riders and skiers on mountain outings or during the transitional days between seasons. Designed as a lightweight outer layer, it combines windproof protection and a water-repellent finish with a soft fleece lining, offering versatile comfort in changing weather conditions. Designed for junior boys, it’s available in sizes 128 to 176 to accommodate a range of growing body types. Its 100% polyester construction ensures easy care—a real plus for active families.

Windproof protection and water-repellency for changeable weather

The KOW 177 BYS SFTSHLL JCKT is built on two fundamental properties of a softshell jacket: windproofing and water-repellency. The outer layer blocks gusts of wind and minimizes body heat loss, while the water-repellent treatment repels light water splashes and water-based stains. This treatment is provided by the Teflon EcoElite™ finish, a regenerative, plant-based impregnation technology that is free of fluorinated compounds (PFC-free). In practice, water beads up and rolls off the fabric without soaking it, which preserves the jacket’s breathability and maintains the child’s thermal comfort throughout the activity.

Fleece Lining and Comfort Against the Skin

On the inside, a soft fleece lining provides an immediate feeling of warmth without adding bulk to the jacket. This lined softshell construction works just as well worn alone in cool weather as it does layered under a ski jacket on the coldest days, serving as a mid-layer. The fabric’s flexibility preserves freedom of movement, which is essential for kids who are constantly hitting the slopes or enjoying outdoor activities without restriction.

Features Designed for Active Kids

The KOW 177 BYS SFTSHLL JCKT softshell jacket features several practical details suited for active use. Here are the key features to note:

• Adjustable hood: adapts to the child’s head shape to provide protection without obstructing vision.
• Adjustable cuffs: allow for a custom fit at the wrists and prevent cold air from entering.
• Zipper with chin guard: protects the skin from chafing when zipping all the way up to the collar.
• Zippered pockets: keep small accessories secure during activities, preventing them from getting lost.
• Reflective elements: improve the child’s visibility in low-light conditions.

An eco-friendly treatment without compromising performance

The choice of the Teflon EcoElite™ treatment reflects a commitment to concrete eco-responsibility: this finish is plant-based and excludes all fluorinated technology, setting it apart from traditional PFC-based DWR treatments. The result is effective water repellency achieved without using substances that persist in the environment—a factor that is increasingly important to families concerned about the environmental impact of sports gear.

The Killtec KOW 177 BYS SFTSHLL JCKT is designed for young athletes who need a versatile jacket that’s just as comfortable on the slopes during mid-season days as it is off-piste. Its combination of a windproof, PFC-free water-repellent outer layer and fleece lining makes it a solid choice for junior mountain apparel designed for variable conditions.
