Carava’s (Kǎ’ěrwò) most professional new autumn/winter 2012 range of waterproof jackets will be launched in September with precision and refinement. From fabric selection to functional structural design, it embodies ultimate excellence, offering outdoor enthusiasts far more than just “superficial” professionalism.
It incorporates Carava’s newly developed patented technologies – the “3D Full-View Storm Hood” and the “Zero-Distance Seamless Waterproof Sleeve.” This is the first patented product in Carava’s autumn/winter series. The front closure, underarm areas, bottom hem, and side pockets all feature newly added pressure-sealed flaps with drainage grooves – a second line of waterproofing built upon water-repellent and waterproof fabric technologies. These small yet innovative details allow rain to simply roll off without any chance to penetrate, enabling confident climbs on snowy ridges.

Carava explains the technology behind the “3D Full-View Storm Hood”

3D Full-View Storm Hood

Lateral adjustment cord fits the head shape, secures the helmet, and prevents air leakage

Carava explains the technology behind the “Zero-Distance Seamless Waterproof Sleeve”

The zero-distance seamless waterproof sleeve is seam-free, achieving waterproofing through a special non-stitched process using an arc-shaped Gore panel at the cuff. The cuff features a 3.5cm arc-shaped Gore panel, which is bonded to the fabric using invisible waterproof double-sided adhesive technology instead of traditional stitching. With no stitched needle holes, it completely prevents water from seeping in through the seams, delivering full waterproofing and moisture resistance. This technological innovation enhances the product’s professional performance.
