Mountain Force’s Heritage Collection brings together some of our classic styles and gives them a modern look. Perfect for shielding yourselves from the elements while you enjoy your mountain pursuits, The Avante Jacket combines stylish design with elegant fit. The ceramic membrane ensures pleasant climate management by actively reflecting heat inwards and the cold outwards. The quilting on the arms and chest not only keep the padding in place but give the jacket a sporty down look. Ideal for skiing, snowboarding and a range of other mountain activities includes waterproof zippers, inner and ski pass pockets (for easy access to all your essentials), detachable hood, two-way zipper and an adjustable, water-repellent, elastic snow skirt, the Avante Jacket will keep you warm and dry on the mountain under the harshest of mountain conditions.

Ceramic Membrane
Mountain Force has set itself the target of creating perfect ski clothing. Thereby, it is important to us to combine the traditional lines of classic tailoring with the newest materials and processing technologies. That is our daily challenge.
12 WAY STRETCH
Developed by Mountain Force itself, 12-way stretch provides a new dimension in freedom of movement and wearing comfort. In contrast to 4-way stretch, which is the standard in the skiwear industry, 12-way stretch includes flexibility in every layer of fabric. Each layer, even the inner lining and insulating material, is elastic and tear-resistant. The high quality of the padding’s flexibility is unique on the market at this time. It was developed by Mountain Force through extensive experiments in cooperation with a renowned padding supplier and has been improved each season.
Both on and off the slopes, 12-way stretch provides extraordinary freedom of movement that lives up to the highest demands for Alpine winter wear.
CRAFTSMANSHIP
Mountain Force prioritises manual work and dexterity in the production of our collection. This starts with pattern design. Before it goes into the computer, every pattern is constructed by hand, transferred to a card, and a prototype is created. Only when the pattern is perfect, is it transferred into the computer. A Mountain Force ski jacket consists of up to 350 individual parts, which are put together in up to 1,500 work steps, which can take up to 12 working hours according to the complexity of the product.
CERAMIC MEMBRANE
All functional, laminated upper materials from Mountain Force are produced, dyed, printed and fitted with a ceramic membrane in Japan. This highly innovative membrane distinguishes itself through being extraordinarily light, elastic and breathable, and thereby achieves excellent waterproofing (water column: 20,000 mm). It also incorporates a climate-regulating characteristic: the high tech membrane is mixed in with heat reflecting ceramic particles. These reflect the cold outwards and body heat inwards, providing an extra layer of added comfort for you.
