Space Performance astronaut jacket
\nAvailable in men’s and women’s versions, the Space Performance jacket is inspired by the cosmos and reminiscent of astronaut clothing.

It boasts a storm CELL FORCE 2 waterproof rating and protects against the elements thanks to its 100% welded seams, 10,000 mm water column and water vapor permeability.<\/p>\n
ACCESSORIES
\nUM Journey
\nThe UM Journey bag fuses iconic materials used for space exploration with traditional cuts and features borrowed from the great outdoors. The silver lining shines through the perforated fabric to create a chic, galactic effect. The reflective inverted zipper is reminiscent of the seamless finish of spacesuits, while offering night-time visibility. And for the ultimate in versatility, it can be worn in multiple ways thanks to an adjustable shoulder strap. Rubber-coated buckles and a PUMA by Hussein Chalayan metal plate complete the look.<\/p>\n
UM Jets
\nFor cycling, socializing and, if need be, exploring the universe. The UM Jets is inspired by this season’s theme of interplanetary exploration with its versatile “ready for anything” style. With its adjustable shoulder straps, it transforms in no time into a bundle, backpack or satchel. The ultra-sophisticated, seamless perforated material highlights the silver lining and reflective zipper. Two separate compartments are linked in the center, each with a spaceship-inspired shape. Rubber-coated buckles and a PUMA by Hussein Chalayan metal plate complete the look. <\/p>\n\n\t\t
