When the weather’s cold, you want to stay warm, but it’s not always easy to do that without adding bulk—which is the last thing you want when you’re active. How do you shave off the bulk, but not the warmth?
- 100% Nylon.
- Lightweight Pertex Microlight Fabric.
- Reverse Coil Center Front Zip.
- Zipper Chin Guard And Interior Storm Flap.
- Zippered Hand Pockets.
Wear Icebreaker’s MerinoLoft Hyperia Lite Jacket.
It may look like a lightweight puffy jacket, but this one gets its insulation from MerinoLoft—Icebreaker’s low-bulk, machine washable evolution of the down jacket and the natural alternative to synthetic down.
Wool fiber insulation coupled with water-repellent Pertex Quantum Air face-fabric with a DWR finish makes the jacket the perfect companion to your outdoor adventures, whether they’re high-altitude hiking or wandering around a new city.
Zippered hand pockets also have DWR, and are roomy enough for your hands plus a few extra things. An internal zip pocket is good for those things you definitely don’t want to spill out of the other pockets when you remove your hands.
The jacket can be packed into this pocket when you don’t need it.
The jacket’s drop tail protects you when you need to reach for something, but don’t want the wind whistling up your back. The hood fits cozily on your head, and the zipper chin guard keeps the zipper from rubbing on your face when you’re locked down for the weather.
If you’re wearing a pack, the offset shoulder seams will prevent pack rub. And if you do get wet, the MerinoLoft will still retain warmth and naturally helps regulate body temperature to keep you comfortable.
Pack it up and bring it along on your cool-weather adventures!
