What is the Fitzroy Jacket?
The Fitzroy Jacket is a synthetically filled insulated jacket. Designed to be thrown over all your layers, it is ideally suited to belaying when out in the elements, or simply as a warm layer when stopping on a hike in adverse conditions. Combining the warmth of Primaloft Gold insulation with the water resistance and windproofing of a Drilite 30D outer, the Fitzroy will cope with pretty much anything mother nature can throw at you when out on a winter climb/belay. It truly excels at cold weather functionality.
What is the Fitzroy Jacket made from?
Drilite Loft 30D outer fabric offers good abrasion resistance, as well as wind proofing and high water-resistance, especially when combined with the factory DWR coating to further help repel water.
The insulation comes in the form of Primaloft Gold synthetic insulation. Primaloft Gold is one of the finest synthetic insulations available, offering incredible warmth for its weight as well as a good pack-size. It also performs consistently in wet conditions, making it a perfect belay layer. The Fitzroy has 100g in the body and 80g in the arms/hood, providing high levels of warmth.
What are its features?
The Fitzroy Jacket is feature packed, but manages to keep its styling minimal and considered, meaning there is less to get in the way when out in the mountains using it.
Starting from the top, the hood is both insulated and helmet compatible, ideal for throwing on when belaying, it also adjusts small enough to provide warmth when not wearing a helmet. The hood features an adjustable wired visor to help maintain vision. The sleeves are pre-shaped for full freedom of movement and articulation. A 2-way YKK centre front zip with an insulated rear baffle to eliminate cold spots is front and centre on the Citadel, meaning it is fully harness compatible. Two zipped, fleece lined handwarmer pockets and one napoleon chest pocket and two internal mesh pockets take care of storage, plenty of space for spare gloves, hats, maps and the all-important snacks.
How does the Fitzroy Jacket fit?
The Fitzroy Jacket has been designed as a belay jacket, designed to be thrown over the top of all your other layers to keep the worst of the weather out and crucial warmth in. Because of this it is a larger cut than some other insulated jackets.
Where does it fit in the layering system?
The Fitzroy is your belay jacket. Throw it over everything else and keep yourself warm and dry.
