A deep-set center zip makes it easier to get on and off, lowering the usual friction of wearing a pullover-style layer through the start-and-stop rhythm of hiking or climbing. The insulation is 60g\/m² THERMOFRONT® OA, prioritizing light weight, packability, and ease of handling on the move while still delivering the warmth you need. The fit is relaxed — roomy without excess bagginess, for an easy-to-wear balance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat 60g\/m² THERMOFRONT® OA delivers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe insulation is THERMOFRONT® OA, made by forming \"OCTAIR®\" — a hollow, irregular-cross-section fiber sharing the same cross-section concept as the Octa® CPCP® used in the ADRIFT line — into a sheet. The hollow core of the fiber, ringed by eight protrusions, traps a large amount of dead air. That delivers high warmth for its weight class while keeping it light and highly compressible. It packs down flat and springs back quickly when you need it. OCTAIR® is a 100% recycled polymer sourced from ECOPET®, derived from PET bottles, and THERMOFRONT® OA blends in 70% of it — cutting manufacturing-process CO2 emissions by 23% compared with virgin material (calculated by TA Frontier Co., Ltd.).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cfigure style=\"margin: 1.6em 0 2.2em;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/0308\/6024\/files\/capsule-thermofrontoabn.jpg?v=1792571234\" alt=\"Macro photo of THERMOFRONT OA insulation\"\u003e\n\u003cfigcaption style=\"margin-top: 0.5em; font-size: 0.88em; color: #666; line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eA 100% recycled-polyester insulation material that delivers both high warmth and light weight.

The non-fluorine \"GreenBeads\" ultra water-repellent (C0) finish keeps the surface shedding water well while staying light. Durability is built in too — it's confirmed to still rate 80 points for water repellency after 100 washes. It resists soaking through from dry snow, mist, or condensation at a tent site during activity, so it's less likely to make you colder. Note that water repellency is not the same as waterproofing — pair it with rain shell in sustained rain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cfigure style=\"margin: 1.6em 0 2.2em;\"\u003e\n\u003cimg src=\"https:\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/0308\/6024\/files\/capsule-recnybn1.jpg?v=1792571244\" alt=\"Water repellency of the 10D recycled nylon\"\u003e\n\u003cfigcaption style=\"margin-top: 0.5em; font-size: 0.88em; color: #666; line-height: 1.5;\"\u003eNon-fluorine ultra water repellency. 10D RECYCLE NYLON\u003c\/figcaption\u003e\n\u003c\/figure\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA deep center zip and a practical kangaroo pocket\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe deep-set center zip eases the usual downside of a pullover — the hassle of getting it on and off — making it quick to vent heat or switch layers as needed. A connected kangaroo pocket sits across the front, lined inside with brushed Octa® CPCP® fabric that doubles as a hand warmer for cold hands. The body of the garment can also be stuffed into this pocket, so it works as a simple pillow at a rest stop or in a tent — adding comfort without adding to your load. Cinch the hem drawcord to tighten the fit around the bottom and keep cold air from creeping in from below.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA relaxed, easy-to-layer fit and light weight\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe fit is relaxed — a touch of room that works well as a mid layer over a base layer and under a thin shell. It weighs about 275g in size M. From day hikes to overnight trips, it tucks into a corner of your pack without weighing you down, ready for a quick response to a cold morning or evening or a drop in body heat after activity. Being a synthetic insulation, it also holds up well to moisture and dries quickly. Adjust the zip and the hem drawcord to suit temperature, activity level, and wind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCare and handling notes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDo not use fabric softener or bleach.

I've now been using it as my main insulation for over ten years.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEvery well-known insulation brand has its own distinct characteristics, and I switch between them depending on the use case. A big reason I lean on synthetic insulation is that its loft holds up even when wet, and it keeps performing even with somewhat rough handling. It's also easy to care for, which makes it easy to use in the field without a second thought.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTesting the THERMOFRONT® OA prototype samples, what stood out clearly compared with the many synthetic insulations I've tried was its sense of loft.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEven at 40 or 60g\/m² — a fairly standard thickness for synthetic insulation — it held a solid loft. The moment I put it on, I felt the lightness and the sense of being wrapped in a thick layer of dead air. Given how much warmth it delivers for its weight, it felt closer to down despite being a synthetic fill.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe domestic 10D recycled nylon paired with it has a light, supple hand. It's a combination that makes the most of THERMOFRONT® OA's loft without crushing it. Because the fabric prioritizes light weight above all, it does need some care around snags — but if it ever does tear, we offer repairs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTo help it last as long as possible, we've set up a repair program, and in the design we've kept eyelets and other hardware that could come loose to a minimum, to reduce the risk of damage in the first place.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"STATIC","offers":[{"title":"Coral \/ XS","offer_id":45237296529608,"sku":"4580815772362","price":269.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Coral \/ S","offer_id":45237296562376,"sku":"4580815772379","price":269.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Coral \/ M","offer_id":45237296595144,"sku":"4580815772386","price":269.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Coral \/ L","offer_id":45237296627912,"sku":"4580815772393","price":269.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Coral \/ XL","offer_id":45237296660680,"sku":"4580815772409","price":269.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue Sapphire \/ XS","offer_id":45237296693448,"sku":"4580815772515","price":269.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue Sapphire \/ S","offer_id":45237296726216,"sku":"4580815772522","price":269.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue Sapphire \/ M","offer_id":45237296758984,"sku":"4580815772539","price":269.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue Sapphire \/ L","offer_id":45237296791752,"sku":"4580815772546","price":269.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue Sapphire \/ XL","offer_id":45237296824520,"sku":"4580815772553","price":269.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0554\/0308\/6024\/files\/capsule-60-pullover-coral-1.jpg?v=1792583813","url":"https:\/\/rocksteppers.com\/en-en\/products\/capsule-60-pullover","provider":"ROCK STEPPERS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
