Thermostatic Hooded Insulated Jacket - Women's

The Mountain Hardwear Women's Thermostatic Hooded Insulated Jacket ushers in a new trio to the world of lightweight, warm, synthetically insulated jackets. The heftiest in the Thermostatic family, this hoodie weighs a mere 11 ounces and can be crammed into its own pocket for organized packing. Whether you need a warm and lightweight mid-layer for creating your snow angels or a trim jacket for late-fall Friday night gallery strolls, the Thermostatic Hooded has you covered.
The folks at Mountain Hardwear understand that while down insulation is warmest, it also has shortcomings, like vulnerability to moisture. So they invented Thermal.Q Elite synthetic insulation that combines several different densities of fibers to create an intricate 3-D grid that mimicks the lattice-like network created by down. Air gets trapped within the grid structure and acts as a sentry between you and cold air so you retain body heat even when it's chilly outside. When exposed to moisture, Thermal.Q. Elite fibers retain their rigidity, and therefore retain your body heat.
Handwarmer pockets zip for safe storage, and one acts as a storage pouch for the entire jacket. Low-profile elastic cuffs make for easy layering, as does a low-profile, insulated hood. A new diamond quilting pattern adds a whiff of Fifth Avenue style to this techy jacket so you don't stand out when you're walking on Madison Avenue.
