Smartwool

Smartloft Jacket - Women's

DWR is a treatment applied to fabrics that makes them water-resistant. This means that if you're caught in light rain or snow, the jacket will repel water, keeping you dry and comfortable. Choosing a jacket with DWR is essential for outdoor activities, as it enhances your protection against wet conditions.

Merino wool is sourced from Merino sheep and is celebrated for its softness, lightweight nature, and breathability. It naturally wicks moisture away from your body, helping to regulate your temperature and keep you warm and dry, especially in cold weather. This makes it an excellent choice for layering in outdoor gear.

Insulation in jackets traps heat to keep you warm. Our jackets use a combination of recycled wool, wool, and polyester for insulation, which effectively maintains your body temperature in cold conditions. Understanding insulation helps you choose a jacket that will keep you comfortable during outdoor adventures.

Thumbholes are openings in the cuffs of a jacket that allow you to insert your thumbs. This feature keeps the sleeves in place, preventing cold air from entering and enhancing overall warmth. They also provide added comfort during activities, making them a practical design element for outdoor wear.

A relaxed fit means the jacket is designed to be loose and comfortable rather than tight-fitting. This allows for easier movement and layering, which is particularly important for activities like hiking or casual wear in colder weather. Choosing a relaxed fit ensures you have the freedom to move while staying warm.

To determine if a jacket's insulation is effective, consider the materials used and the jacket's intended purpose. Our jackets feature a blend of recycled wool, wool, and polyester, which are known for their excellent thermal properties. If you plan to be in cold environments, look for jackets with high-quality insulation to ensure you stay warm and comfortable.
