Tilak Ketil Jacket

Why choose the Ketil Jacket

Combining Climashield Apex synthetic insulation with the windproof, water-resistant Pertex Quantum Air shell, this hooded jacket carries the warmth you need with light weight and packability. It's a model used by Mountain Rescue Services, so it stays easy to handle in unsettled weather or cold wind, weighs about 445g in a size M, and packs down into its own inner pocket.

Materials and construction

The outer fabric is Pertex Quantum Air (100% nylon, 40D mini-ripstop). It stays light and supple while blocking wind and resisting water in cold wind or a sudden shower. Its ripstop weave helps keep any damage from spreading.

The insulation uses two weights of Climashield Apex, 67g/m² and 100g/m². Synthetic insulation is generally easier to manage when damp and resists losing its loft, making it a warm layer you can rely on even as weather changes. A full-length front zipper makes it easy to put on, take off, and regulate temperature, and the cut sits well as a mid or outer layer in your layering system.

Usability and details

• 3 outer pockets / 4 inner pockets for keeping small items organized on the move
• Packs into its own inner pocket (packable)
• Anatomically shaped hood with an elasticated edge that fits around the head
• Anatomically shaped cuffs and an anatomic draw-cord hem that help keep wind out
• Weight: about 445g (M), easing the load you carry

Layering and portability

It works well as an outer layer when cold wind is a concern, or as a warm layer during stops. The combination of synthetic insulation, which stays easy to manage when damp, and a windproof, water-resistant outer fabric makes it versatile in mountain terrain or cold-season conditions where weather can change quickly. Keep it in its inner pocket and it stays compact in a pack, ready to pull out when you need it.
