About Elevenate Men's Motion Down Hood – Men's Ski Jackets
The Elevenate Men's Motion Down Hood is a lightweight and versatile reinforcement jacket that works all year round. Thanks to its well-thought-out construction, it works equally well as an outer layer on milder days and as a warming mid-layer when the temperature drops.
The jacket is insulated with Thermore Ecodown Loft, a synthetic down made from recycled polyester. The insulation provides an airy feel reminiscent of traditional down, while continuing to provide warmth even when it gets damp. Therefore, it is an excellent choice for skiing and other activities where weather conditions can change rapidly.
The outer fabric consists of lightweight and pliable recycled polyamide. The material also has a PFAS-free water-repellent treatment that helps resist light precipitation and moisture. The flexible construction also allows the insulation to expand maximally to provide the best possible warmth.
For increased durability and extra protection, Elevenate has placed panels with synthetic sheet insulation over the shoulders and elbows. At the same time, the pre-bent sleeves contribute to a natural fit and good freedom of movement during activity.
The well-fitting hood has elasticated cuffs that help retain warmth when the wind picks up. In addition, the inside of the front zipper is equipped with a soft chin guard in brushed jersey for extra comfort.
The storage options are well thought out. The jacket has open hand pockets with elasticated cuffs, hidden zip pockets, and an internal zip pocket for valuables.
In short, the Elevenate Synthetic Down Hood is a lightweight and warming garment for those who want high comfort and reliable insulation throughout the year.

FAQ
Is the Elevenate Synthetic Down Hood a down jacket?
No. The jacket uses synthetic down insulation from Thermore. However, it provides the same airy feel and high thermal performance as traditional down.
Can the jacket be used as a mid-layer?
Yes. Thanks to its lightweight construction, it works very well under a shell jacket. At the same time, it can be used as an outer layer in milder conditions.
What is the advantage of synthetic insulation?
Synthetic insulation retains heat better than regular down when it gets damp. Therefore, it is very suitable for activities in varying weather.
Is the material recycled?
Yes. Both the outer fabric and the insulation are made from recycled materials, which contributes to a lower environmental footprint.
What activities is the jacket suitable for?
The Elevenate Synthetic Down Hood is suitable for skiing, ski touring, hiking, and everyday use. Thanks to its low weight and high comfort, it works all year round.
Size & fit
Measure your chest at its widest point and compare with the size chart in the size guide. If you are between two sizes, go for the smaller one if you want a snugger fit, or the larger one if you want room for more layers underneath. Not sure? Give us a call and we will help you.
Care
Wash at 30° with a liquid detergent for technical garments — never use fabric softener or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or iron at a low temperature to reactivate the water-repellent treatment. Reproof when water stops beading on the surface, usually after 15–20 washes.
Shipping & returns

Choosing a shell jacket
Waterproofing and breathability
Waterproofing is measured in millimetres (hydrostatic head) and describes how much water pressure the fabric can withstand before it leaks. 10,000 mm handles normal precipitation, while 20,000 mm handles wet snow and rain all day long — even where you sit and press against the fabric on the chairlift. Breathability is measured in grams of moisture per square metre per 24 hours and determines how much sweat is transported out. You want high numbers for both; a waterproof fabric without breathability will just make you wet from the inside instead.
The layering principle
The shell is the outer layer and is not meant to be warm in itself. The warmth comes from the mid-layer — merino wool or fleece — and closest to the skin is a thin layer that moves moisture away from your body. The advantage of a pure shell over a padded jacket is that you can regulate your warmth to suit the weather and your pace, instead of being locked into one level of insulation. That is why the shell is cut with room for a mid-layer, and why it can feel roomy when you try it on without one.
The details that make the difference
A powder skirt at the waist keeps snow out when you fall. Underarm vents are the quickest way to regulate your temperature without taking anything off. The hood should be adjustable with one hand and fit over a helmet without blocking your view. Taped seams are essential, because a waterproof fabric will leak through the seams if they are not sealed. The pockets should be placed so they work with a hip belt on and a lift pass in the sleeve.
Size and fit
The jacket is cut with room for insulation. If you are between two sizes and ski without a thick mid-layer, go for the smaller one. If you want room for a thicker sweater, or do a lot of ski touring where you need freedom of movement, go for the larger one. The sleeves should reach past your wrists when you stretch your arms forward.
How to keep your jacket waterproof
A shell rarely stops being waterproof — it stops repelling water on the surface. When the fabric turns dark and heavy with moisture, it is the outer water-repellent treatment that has worn off, not the membrane. Wash the jacket with a detergent made for shell garments, tumble dry it on low heat or iron it with a cloth in between to reactivate the treatment, and reproof when needed. A jacket that is looked after stays waterproof season after season.
