HPPE Over Hoody

Cold weather clothing worn over a shell

When taking a break or stopping in the snowy mountains, removing your shell and putting on a midlayer can quickly chill your body. So what do you do? TETON BROS.'s approach is to keep your shell on and layer a cold-weather jacket over it. This synthetic insulation is designed for such situations. It's one size larger to layer over a shell. The cuffs zip open, making it easy to put on with gloves on. The down-like PrimaLoft ThermoPlume padding is a blend of aerogel for superior insulation. The outer fabric is HPPE (high-performance polyethylene) ripstop for durability. The lining is 10-denier Cordura, a highly visible orange color that makes it easy to spot in an emergency. Since it's sometimes worn over a wet shell, it's water-repellent on both sides. This is a TETON BROS. staple that staff and guides always keep in their backpacks.
