The
Thermostatic Jacket is a lightweight, synthetic down offering from Mountain
Hardwear. Weighing in at a scant 261 grams, the jacket’s thin face fabric and
streamlined design create a featherlight package. New from Mountain Hardwear,
it has garnered praise and awards, winning a ISPO award for mid-layer insulation.
The
jacket utilizes Mountain Hardwear’s proprietary Thermal.Q Elite insulation.
This insulation works to mimic the structure of natural goose down using 100%
waterproof, synthetic fibres. A lattice of thick, rigid fibres helps create
structure and maintain loft while a multitude of thinner fibres fills in the
structure. This creates a warm synthetic structure with excellent compression
rebound, which will not absorb moisture. Mountain Hardwear claims Thermal.Q
Elite is “20% warmer” than the industry standard for synthetic insulation
Silky
smooth fabric and superlight construction and materials make the Thermostatic
an exceptionally comfortable jacket to wear. It layers very well, and packs
down capably. The Thermal.Q Elite insulation maintains its loft very well. A
lack of hood makes for an even lighter package.
The
Thermostatic is an excellent mid layer for the very weight-conscious, warm
blooded skier looking for a streamlined, lightweight insulation layer without
any extra bells and whistles.
This
jacket’s lightweight design is intended for slipping under a shell or for
wearing as a stand-alone jacket.
