A warm and comfortable jacket that looks great both on the bike and once you're back at the café, for challenges that are more about distance than speed. We're doing more and more long rides and bikepacking trips. Sometimes that means a lot of climbing, or riding through the cold night and the heat of the day, and going out for several days. This jacket shines in all these situations because it offers plenty of thermal insulation and warmth when you need it, but it's also compact and fits in your saddlebag when you want to take it off. The outer fabric is a material you've seen on some high-end down jackets from several major brands. It's great because it's really lightweight and keeps the wind out. The inner layer is Polartec® Alpha® Direct, the lightest, most compact, and most absorbent insulating fabric available. It's as warm as synthetic down but doesn't require an inner layer that would reduce breathability and add weight. For your next Unlimited adventure, simply pack this jacket and a GORE-TEX Idro jacket in your bag and you'll be ready for anything!
