Whether you need ultralight 2.5-layer shells for fast packing, rugged 3-layer laminates for alpine expeditions, or DWR-treated technical weaves for everyday wet-weather gear, Youvion delivers fabrics that keep you dry without compromising comfort or mobility.

See how our waterproof fabrics translate into high-performance outerwear — from ultralight trail shells to expedition-grade storm gear.
Alpine Storm Shell — Maximum Protection, Zero Compromise.
Engineered for the world’s harshest mountain environments, this 3-layer laminate shell delivers 30,000 mm waterproof protection with exceptional breathability. Fully seam-sealable construction, helmet-compatible hood, and reinforced high-wear zones — because in the alpine, your gear is your lifeline.
Ultralight Trail Shell — Packable Protection, Serious Performance.
At just 45 gsm, this 2.5-layer laminate disappears in your pack until the weather turns. Laser-cut underarm vents, articulated elbows, and a DWR-treated outer face shed water and dirt. Designed for high-output movement where every gram counts — because the best shell is the one you forget you’re wearing.
Urban Commuter Jacket — City-Ready Waterproof, Refined Silhouette.
Waterproof performance meets urban style. This bonded 2-layer shell features a matte face fabric that looks at home in the office, with a quiet-backer membrane that won’t rustle on your commute. WR-rated zippers, hiddenadjustment tabs, and a dropped tail hem keep you dry from subway to sidewalk.
