Aight, so if you didn't know yet, Bataleon is making outerwear and now you know. Now that we have established this fantastic fact let's take a closer look at one of the pieces they make. We would like to tell you about the Daro Jacket in the most excellent "Battern" colorway. It's basically tough outerwear made with boarder's needs in mind and covered with a pattern of bats, get it? Battern! Man, either someone is smoking some seriously intergalactic hydroponics over at Bataleon or they are just bat shit crazy to come up with this stuff.
Let us tell you why this jacket is the shit, I mean the guano. Right off the bat, we can assure you it is the right breathability and waterproofness to keep you stewing in your own juices on the mountain all day. It is constructed from 2-way stretch, 100% polyester twill outer with fully taped seams, with a printed and stretchy nylon pow skirt, plus no-catch ‘FREE ZIPS’ on the armpit vents and a 140 g/m2 tricot bonded inner layer for insulation. Yup, I cut and pasted that last part. Deal with it. For more tech info head here, for more nonsense that has little or nothing to do with the actual product, read on! 
First of all, with the Dora jacket Bataleon addressed the problem that being safe and wearing a helmet can make you look like a dingbat or some sort of Imperial gunner out of Star Wars (sorry for the nerdiness). This jacket is designed with the Helmet Houdini Hood, with extra space to hide your embarrassing skid lid in. People won't even bat an eyelid and notice you are hiding a bowling ball in your hood and while still having all the freedom to move and bobble your big head around in.
Another thing is that Bataleon jackets are cut with Stay-In-Place Fit (great name, did you guys trademark that?), meaning it's tailored to fit but with space to move around in without having to look like you are blind as a bat and left the house wearing your mom's curtain on the hill. It's also cut long, so if you start to flail around and roll up the windows your waist hem won't raise up, making you looking like a batty boy when you crash and exposing your doughy love handles to some serious ice burn. Plain and simple, with this jacket you will look like a bat out of hell! A dry, comfy and warm bat out of hell.
So save up some bucks, work the sidewalk like a bat (aka a prostitute), do whatever you have to but just get one of these badass Dora jackets!
OK, you flutter mouse, catch you the hill! But first check these leather-flappers from Bateleon in their new team edit. Someone might be wearing the Dora jacket in there, but I can't guarantee it...
