THERMIC JACKET

The BLACKYAK Thermic Jacket is a perfect addition to the Pali Line. This item offers excellent levels of insulation whilst remaining very lightweight. Produced using a great combination of materials and down. The main body is an equal combination of CORDURA® Ripstop and stretch materials, allowing optimum protection and perfect freedom of movement. The insulation is provided with goose down filled chambers constructed using a new reversed construction method.

This jacket has two well positioned outside handwarmer pockets and one large inside zip close storage pocket. The hood is perfect in size and offers superb comfort either with or without a helmet. This function is further improved by adding a new bendy plastic in the hood peak to improve the shape in more extreme conditions.

They give wool, milk, and meat. They are perfect for riding or transporting large and heavy loads. It is effectively the Sherpa of Sherpa’s. The best friend of the mountain climber.
