The lightweight, stretchy and highly breathable Kamleika Race Jacket from OMM is ideal for fast-paced outdoor activities or anyone looking to keep weight to a minimum.
The Kamleika has all the benefits of a smock construction but with a ‘layered' or relaxed fit, ideal for colder conditions where more layers are needed or for more general, all-round use.
The Parka and the Anorak are named after words in the Alaskan and Greenland Eskimo languages respectively - simply meaning a warm, hooded jacket. Near neighbours of the Alaskans, the Aleuts, had to put up with much wetter conditions, being located in the ocean islands south of the Bering straits...they named their hooded, stretchy, seam sealed and fully waterproof clothing 'Kamleika.'
Made from Gelanots fabric, which is at the upper end of the breathability ratings for performance jackets, the OMM Kamleika features fully taped seams and is OMM race approved.

Gelanots
Gelanots is an elastomeric - stretchy - hydrophilic laminate bonded to a knitted outer, which is an unusual combination.
The hydrophilic laminate breathes well and is stretchable - it elongates because of its knitted outer and recovers shape because of the elastomeric laminate.
Result - breathability scores amongst some of the highest ratings you'll find anywhere.
