Insulator Jackets

By sky bosworth January 12, 2009

The selling point of this jacket: Packability. The siphon is an insulator jacket, and is meant to provide serious warmth in a clinch. Primaloft is made to be super lighweight, and rip-stop nylon is respective to that. This jacket is a spin-off of the Cloudveil Enclosure Hoody, and they are BOTH super great jackets. The Cloudveil has a bit more loft, but both are 100 g fill primaloft with nylon. This is a super all around jacket, and is quite water resistant. It is treatable with a spray on DWR anytime for care and water resistance. This jacket will suit you nicely if you dont like that puffy look. Again, this is a very successful hybrid jacket. Its meant to pack tight in your backpack on a winter trek, and to be a comfortable casual piece, and this is only possible with the primaloft. I wear the insulators ( Enclosure and Siphon) around town, and throw them under a hardshell waterproof/windproof if i want to get in the sub zero mercury. Get this jacket, or if you have muchos dineros, consider the Enclosure by Cloudveil.
