    Our latest innovation in lightweight insulating serious hunting gear. The Switchback Jacket is the carbon fibre stock of mid-layers. The latest innovation in ultra-light, high-performance hunting gear. Utilising Primaloft eco 80gm insulation in the front and back, this top will keep your core warm, but the lightweight hard-faced fleece sleeves and sides help to cut down on bulk when used as part of a layering system, without binding upon other layers on top. It packs down super small and weighs nothing but will give you plenty of warmth for those chilly autumn mornings.

    • Weight Sz M: 550 grams
    • 80gsm PrimaLoft Black Eco front and back of the torso
    • 280gm hard-faced, high wicking, two-way stretch fleece (made from recycled polyester) for the arms and sides

      Husband is a huge fan

      Bought a 2nd one of these as #1 was bought as a hunting mid-layer but he loved it so much this one us for wearing all the rest of the time. Was quiet and robust for bush stalking, not too warm ( where he sweaty and uncomfortable) but warm enough for a high country hunt as temps drop at night and equally capable of looking stylish at the cafe with aertex

      Warm and comortable

      Was pretty much as expected and as stated in the description. Was a bit warmer then I thought it would be. Found the fit to be on the smaller side for the size. Is very long with the bottom covering your butt.
