    Warmth that adjusts with you – no more layer swaps.

    The ultimate insulating mid-layer built to move with you. When you're working hard, the Acclimate Hood breathes and dumps heat so you don't overheat and sweat out.

    The Acclimate Hood is an ultra-lightweight active insulation jacket, engineered to regulate your temperature automatically as you move between static glassing and full-effort stalking, so you're never stopping to add or strip a layer.

    The Acclimate Hood features a ripstop outer fabric combined with Primaloft® Evolve insulation, giving you a lightweight insulated jacket that's highly breathable under exertion but blocks the wind the moment you're stationary. It's one of the most versatile Primaloft jackets in our range – active insulation that works as hard moving as it does standing still.

    KEY FEATURES

    • 20D ripstop outer fabric
    • All new 95gsm Primaloft® Evolve insulation
    • SIZES: S to 4XL
    • COLOURS: Desolve® Camo & Black

      Saw these in Hunting and Fishing and was dubious

      Saw these in Hunting and Fishing and was dubious. The warmth of a sleeping bag? Couldn’t believe it - it was so light. Got the opportunity to test one at the weekend and the coat is EVERYTHING advertised. Light, packs away to nothing. Warm, used it as my dressing gown AND out in the bush in the chilly evening AND in the wind and drizzle. I was sold! I was trialling the black but now own a camo one and it is absolutely coming with me everywhere. Camo is the new black LOL!

      Light, warm, quiet

      I have mostly been using this outer layer in Autumn/Winter in alpine conditions. It has quickly become my go to jacket for most trips that I do.

      It is super quiet and not rustley, so great for hunting. I find that when I get warm as I am walking, unzipping the front is enough to keep me at the right temp due to it being pretty breathable. It’s plenty warm enough when layered up (with Acclimate top) to be sitting around in.

      One of the main reasons I reach for this jacket is because of its weight and packability. I find it is very easy to stuff into a gap in my pack. It's super lightweight but doesn’t compromise in terms of warmth.

      I am super happy with this purchase and would recommend it to anyone looking for a warm, light jacket. Great all round piece of gear for hunting.

      Warm and light

      Love this jacket There is just no bulk, but cuts out the wind and cold.

      Perfect for glassing after a hot sweaty climb.

      Highly recommended.

      Hmm..but why ?

      I had check the tag on my jacket to see if I actually had the same 'Acclimate Hood' jacket..

      before I reread the description and reviews again...

      * Light , Soft and Gossamer delicate ..yes

      * Formless and unstructured..yes.

      * Warm ..as an underlayer.. yes.

      * Takes up minimal room scrunched up..well I guess.

      * Breathable..very

      * Wind proof ..Not even in the slightest zephyr..

      * Water proof..not even thru a little fog bank..

      So as an intermediate additional insulation layer..yeah,but why ?

      Its not breaking any new ground here..

      Hi Bernard, thanks for the review. Our Acclimate Hood is not waterproof or windproof, it is an active insulation layer that stays cool when you're on the move, and warm when you stop. This means you don't need to be constantly changing layers during your hunt.

      LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEE

      LOVE LOVE LOVEEEEE

      With no exaggerations this is the best jacket I’ve ever worn. It’s soft, quiet and warm.

      If you’re on the fence about purchasing one, this is your sign to do it!
