kailas explore the secrets of nature with you

In recent years, outdoor sports have quietly emerged. Due to long-term living in the bustling concrete jungle of cities and the various pressures of life and work, most people's physical state is sub-healthy. People have started to look for an ideal way of sports and leisure. Outdoor sports, with their more free and casual nature, have become highly favored by the public, becoming a new lifestyle for entertainment, leisure, and improving the quality of life.

Outdoor sports are a group of adventure or adventure-experience activities held in natural settings. There are many types, such as mountaineering, traversing, hiking, rock climbing, and stream tracing...

A windbreaker is one of the essential items in outdoor gear. The quality of a windbreaker lies in its craftsmanship and fabric. The craftsmanship mainly includes laser cutting, waterproof zippers, and fully taped seams for waterproofing. At the same time, the fabric's abrasion resistance and breathability are also important indicators. The style and comfort of wearing influence the buyer's final choice.

A windbreaker is a good companion in wind and rain, and it can switch seamlessly between outdoor adventures and urban commuting. How does the seemingly contradictory aspects of waterproofing and breathability successfully play out in the KAILAS Cross All-Weather Travel Windbreaker?

Thanks to Codoon and KAILAS for providing the product for this review—the KAILAS Cross All-Weather Travel Windbreaker. The model I received is KG110302, with one side in camouflage and the other in a simple, clean solid color. One windbreaker with two different styles, suitable for both outdoor and daily commuting, switching seamlessly for a colorful life. Facing the changing climate of the transition season, the KAILAS Cross All-Weather Travel Windbreaker shows its true quality in the details. The FILTERTEC2.5L technology fabric, two-way adjustable hood, underarm side seam zippers, and ergonomic 3D stitching ensure both waterproofing and breathability, helping outdoor explorers maintain a comfortable body temperature and a dry, fresh wearing experience, freely exploring the unpredictable spring weather.

The two-way adjustable hood features a horizontal and vertical tightening system. During outdoor activities, pulling the adjustment drawstring at the front tightens the hood, which moves with the head, blocking wind and rain without obstructing vision, ensuring flexibility and safety. The hooded stand-up collar design also ensures completeness, providing better wind and rain protection.

The small sun logo on the left chest is made with a heat transfer process, but it is not very prominent.

The breathable zippers designed on both sides of the underarms allow for quick temperature regulation and timely removal of excess body moisture as physical activity increases and body heat rises sharply. This ensures breathability in sunny weather while maintaining waterproofing in rainy conditions, providing a relatively comfortable experience in various weather conditions. The reversible design features different styles on each side, with square pockets and slanted side pockets for convenient storage of commonly used items. The hidden zippers and waterproof flaps further prevent rainwater from seeping in.

All the zippers on the entire jacket are from YKK, the pioneer in the zipper industry, ensuring smooth operation without snagging. The zipper pulls are designed for easy operation even when wearing gloves. The main zipper has a double-layer storm flap design to prevent wind and rain from entering.

The horseshoe-shaped cuff design provides better protection, and the adjustable Velcro allows for easy adjustment of tightness according to personal needs.

The hem is designed with a curved back that is slightly longer than the front. The adjustable drawstring at the hem is hidden, with the ends of the drawstrings located inside the side pockets. Like the hood, they are equipped with drawstring locks, enhancing windproof, waterproof, and warmth effects.

The overall design uses 3D stitching that conforms to ergonomics. Even in areas with relatively large upper limb movements, such as the arms and shoulders, it ensures flexibility and comfort during outdoor activities like climbing.

In terms of weight, KAILAS has always adhered to a lightweight design philosophy. The entire windbreaker balances functionality and rationality, keeping the weight at 442g even with its reversible design, allowing for a lighter load and reduced physical burden.

I am 179cm tall and weigh 70kg. I chose size L, and it feels quite loose with just a T-shirt underneath. Adding a fleece layer in autumn and winter is no problem. The following wearing effect is for reference, and you can choose the size according to personal preference. This windbreaker breaks away from the traditional bright colors of outdoor windbreakers, showcasing the idea of functional clothing for everyday use through its design and color matching, balancing functionality and fashion, suitable for travel, outdoor activities, and daily commuting at all times.

A weekend stroll around Phoenix Mountain in May in the Northeast, where the temperature difference is significant, and the humidity in the mountains is higher and the temperature lower. Climbing along the mountain stream, the vegetation is lush, and there are sections that require hands and feet to climb. During this time, the jacket frequently rubbed against rocks and branches, but there's no need to worry. The abrasion-resistant and tear-resistant FILTERTEC fabric of KAILAS shows no signs of wear or pilling. Even during extensive climbing, it does not feel restrictive, and movements are not affected. The rationality of the windbreaker's cut and stitching is particularly important in outdoor activities.

As the climb continues and the sun shines brightly, the breathability of the fabric prevents stuffiness. If you want to quickly wick away moisture and cool down, you can open the hem drawstring, unzip the underarm zippers, and loosen the cuffs to effectively increase breathability.

Due to the recent lack of rainy weather, I could only pour stream water directly onto the jacket during a rest break. At this time, you can see the obvious lotus leaf effect. Even at the fabric stitching points, there is still good waterproof performance. A light shake and the water droplets roll off, leaving the surface dry and without traces.

The FILTERTEC2.5L technology fabric, independently developed by KAILAS, combines a professional waterproof and breathable layer with an abrasion-resistant and tear-resistant outer fabric. This allows gaseous molecules to pass through effectively while blocking water molecules, achieving storm-level waterproofing while ensuring good breathability.

In summary, the KAILAS Cross All-Weather Travel Windbreaker features a generous and compact design, versatile reversible colors, meticulous craftsmanship, waterproof, windproof, breathable, abrasion-resistant, tear-resistant, lightweight, and comfortable. It is suitable for travel, outdoor activities, urban commuting, and various other scenarios.

As for the drawbacks, or rather my personal needs, it seems that there are too few storage pockets with only two side pockets.

Spring is wonderful because you happen to be here. In this season, which has never lacked stories, KAILAS wants to explore the secrets of nature with you—vibrant and lively, bright and charming.
