Product info

The Salomon Absolute 3L jacket and bib set is made for freeride adventures in all conditions. The fully taped 3 layer construction with AdvancedSkin Dry membrane offers 20.000 mm water column, high breathability and a PFC-free waterproofing. The MotionFit cut ensures full freedom of movement on and off the slopes and leaves room for the layering system. The versatile, hip-length shell jacket masters any terrain and offers large underarm ventilation for quick temperature compensation, a firmly integrated, helmet-compatible hood and a snow guard to prevent powder from penetrating. The matching dungarees complement the set with the same robust 3L weather protection, a stretch insert on the front, a high bib for additional protection in deep snow and space for warm layers on cold days.
