Cloudveil Zero-G Jacket - Men's

The Cloudveil Zero G Jacket invents a new category—the insulated softshell. This PrimaLoft insulated stretchy jacket extends the comfort range and versatility of softshell jackets. The Zero G Jacket's stretchy Schoeller Dynamic outer shell is wind and water resistant, while the PrimaLoft keeps you toasty warm whether you're riding lifts or standing on top of a peak. Inner stretch panel allow freedom of movement when hiking up a steep boot-pack or reaching for the next pole plant. The internal powder skirt comes with a pant attachment snap system, so you can create full-coverage system, without looking like you stepped out of a vintage 80's Warren Miller film.

Bottom Line: The company that invented the softshell reinvents the concept with the Cloudveil Zero G Jacket.

Warm but bulky

This is a really warm jacket. Everyone advertises this jacket as a softshell but when you get your hands on it, it feels more like a hard shell. This jacket has some really nice features. Great zippers and pocket placement with a really nice powder skirt to finish it off. For some reason the mediuim I tried in this jacket was a bit roomy in the front. I had a good 4 to 6 inches of jacket I could pull from the body. Very nice jacket, just beware of the larger sizing.

Cloudveil Zero-G

Super ski jacket, that is perfect for most conditions. I have always liked stretch comfort of softshell, but have never seen anything warm enough for lift serviced skiing until I found this jacket. Just right amount of insulation for temps in 30's to single digits depending in layers. Super comfortable and a good length, not too long nor too short. Also like low key style and jacket has held about well over 1 winter of use. Only nitpicks would be would like a powder skirt and an internal pocket. Highly recommended

Great piece

By: Anonymous(1)

This is a great jacket for skiing, kicking around or whatever. The stretch material in the shell allows for great mobility and range of motion. I found the price point to be much better than other comparable pieces (Mountain Hardwear, Arc'teryx). The fit is somewhat generous allowing for some layering underneath. Arc'teryx tends to have a closer fit and is therefore less versatile unless you buy a larger size. I ski with a helmet and like the fact that this piece does not have a hood.

No chill here!

This insulated softshell is a beauty. Northern New England and Northern N.Y. skiing can be brutally cold, which makes this a great choice for cold weather outings. I have skied whiteface mountain in -18 and never got a chill. No need for a mid layer- you simply choose your base layer wisely. When it's in the single digits or colder, I wear a heavy base layer such as a power stretch top, and go ligher on warmer days. Too many layers and you will overheat. Rugged construction that keeps the wind out and breathes quite well. When it warms up I go to the Cloudveil Serendipity softshell jacket, which is a very versatile jacket that works in almost all conditions. These softshells can even take light rain. I gave my hardshells away years ago. No one does softshells like Cloudveil. Think Snow!
