Perfect!

I got the Jackaloft Insulated Jacket before riding the CO-BDR this past fall. Wearing it early morning, afternoons and at hi altitude under my armor was a game changer. It pack so small that during the day I can put it away inside the main compartment of my wildcat backpack with out need to use the beaver tail at all. I didn't need anything else on top of it while cooking or enjoying the stars at night when camping. Is perfect to wear it to go out for dinner. I started my ski season at summit county this week and I'm using it all around, during the day I folded inside the pocket and put it in the google pocket of my ski jacket to have it handy, I ended using it last Tuesday on a windy day at keystone, so warm and was my second layer under my Shell jacket.

Comfortable and warm for the brisk evenings!

The sun is quickly going down and it's about to get cold - what do I reach for? My headlamp, throat coat tea, camp chair and my Jackaloft Insulated Jacket. The headlamp because there's a real joy to having it your pocket when you need it, and not waiting until it's dark and having to use your phone flashlight to dig it out of your bag. Throat coat tea? Well the dust from the trail doesn't do my throat any favors, and It's a great comfort drink to start the evening activities. Camp chair? These dogs are barkin' and someone has made a fire so it's time for the ride stories to begin. Last but not least - my Jackaloft insulated jacket - It's proven to be an awesome jacket for around the fire, or in the shoulder seasons, especially in the high desert or mountains where the temperature drops quickly when the sun goes down. It's lighter than my heavy puffy jackets but allows room for layers below so I can regulate as needed. All around, this jacket is a staple for a nice cozy evening outside! Not on a riding adventure but still want to experience the highs of feeling like you are?? Grab your jacket, go out on your porch at night, zip up the jackaloft and enjoy the good life.

Second Jackaloft !

After my son ride with me a couple of weeks ago and use mine, he was driving me crazy to get one for him, it has the perfect balance, super light, amazing insulation, really thin as an under layer, great quality and stylish. Perfect combo for a rider, it does what exactly it is for.

Small and very warm

I bought two jackets. One for my wife. We used its in Norway . I can’t believe how it’s working. Very very warm and stay dry in small rain. Only one light jersey inside. Was using in weather 8-15 degrees with rain.

Like a Jackalope, the Jackaloft brings the best of two worlds together in a single ultralight insulation layer. The ‘Jack’ comes from ‘Jacket,’ while the ‘Loft’ comes from the body-mapped, fully synthetic, PrimaLoft® Gold insulation. It’s super low profile, yet it’s also incredibly warm and highly packable, and it preserves its insulating properties even when compressed under body armor. We designed it specifically for layering under an outer jacket and armor on the bike, but it works just as well around camp or in town.

When it’s not in use, the Jackaloft stuffs into its own hand pocket, and can easily find a stash spot in your pannier, duffle, or backpack.

Don’t let its humble silhouette fool you, the Jackaloft insulated shirt-jack punches way above its weight. Ultralight, highly compressible and super warm, the Jackaloft uses fully synthetic PrimaLoft® Gold insulation with Cross Core technology. This high-tech insulation combines PrimaLoft's top of the line fibers with aerogel (google ‘aerogel’ for more info!), to provide 52% more warmth than the same weight of PrimaLoft® Gold alone. This enables enhanced warmth and decreased weight, resulting in a highly packable, ultralight garment.

Originally developed by NASA, aerogel is composed of more than 95% air, and is the lightest solid material known to man. It’s also one of the most effective insulation materials ever made. When integrated directly into synthetic fibers, aerogel dramatically enhances warming. This isn’t just something you see in charts and stats, you’ll immediately feel the effects yourself when you wear the Jackaloft. On a moderately cool evening, you might be surprised to find yourself leaving the Jackaloft partially unzipped, which is surprising given its size and weight. We packed as much warmth as we possibly could into this very small package.

The size of the Jackaloft is important not only on warm days when it’s packed away on the bike, but also on cold days when you’re wearing it under armor. With insulation, body armor, and an outer shell, one of the biggest challenges we face is how to layer-up without making our riding kits so bulky that we can’t move around. Another challenge is that body armor, a shell, and constant wind pressure on a non-windscreened enduro bike can compress your insulating layer, removing its loft and reducing warmth, similar to what happens on the bottom half of a down sleeping bag when you lay in it. That’s why the Jackaloft uses synthetic insulation rather than goose down: synthetic fibers will maintain their loft even under pressure. That will keep you warmer on the bike.

We styled the Jackaloft as a shirt-jack for a very practical reason: we want this to be the only insulating layer you need on your trip. If we can disguise a highly technical insulated riding layer as a badass garment that you’re stoked to wear around camp or on your next Tinder date, then that’s one less thing you have to pack. Wear it everywhere.
