Thermostatic Hooded Insulated Jacket - Women's

You carry the weight of the world on your shoulders, so why increase the onus with your outerwear? Grab the Mountain Hardwear Women's Thermostatic Hooded Insulated Jacket for warmth without weight. Go to and from class, run errands, crush a crag, or pack along the PCT warmly, fashionably, and lightly. If the heavens open or the mercury plummets, cover the Thermostatic with a hardshell, and go along your merry way.
The lightest full-zip hooded jacket with synthetic insulation from Mountain Hardwear, the Thermostatic stows in its own pocket when you're not wearing it. Barely tipping the scales, the 15D ripstop nylon shell shakes off sprinkles and annoying breezes like a heavyweight champ. Thermic Micro TK insulation is the oxymoron of insulation; squishes down to next to nothing, and springs to life with loft. Perhaps more important, this insulation does just that, insulate your body. Air pockets within the insulation trap warm air you generate, creating an envelope of warmth for your core. Cold air stays at bay while you enjoy a steaming mug of coffee on those chilly mornings in the mountains.
When you're not wearing the jacket, pack it away without losing valuable stow space in your bag for important things, like a flask or bar of chocolate. Two hand-warmer pockets will hold your phone or bear spray, and the hood offers a bit of protection from an insistent drizzle or an annoying trailmate. Low-profile elastic cuffs won't pinch your wrists but will prevent cool winds from snaking up your arms. The standard cut flatters most shapes, and the low-profile design of the entire jacket makes layering a snap.
