What is the Hoja Adventure Vest?
It's a light and packable vest designed to provide light protection from the elements whilst cycling, whether bikepacking, mountain biking or commuting to work.
What is it made from?
The Hoja Adventure Vest is created from a combination of Fjallraraven's HC-Lite® on the upper torso and recycled polyester on the lower. It delivers a balance of comfort, breathability and protection from the elements.
HC-Lite® is a lightly waxed material that provides wind resistance without any unnecessary weight. It comprises polyamide and organic cotton, allowing it to be robustly lightweight and quick-drying, making it ideal if you get caught in an unexpected rain shower.
The HC-Lite® panels on the chest and shoulders can be enhanced with Fjallraven's Greenland Wax to customise the fabric's properties, such as wind and water resistance and breathability. Greenland Wax is easy to apply - you can literally do it anywhere! If you'd like to learn more about how to apply it correctly, check out our short YouTube tutorial by clicking here.
The lower half of the torso is constructed from 100% recycled polyester for breathability and durability. This recycled polyester is mainly made of recycled post-consumer PET bottles and sometimes unusable fabric offcuts and trims from factories, helping reduce air, water and soil contamination and waste that would otherwise be going to landfill.
What are its features?
The Hoja Adventure Vest features protective HC-Lite® panels on the chest and shoulders and a slim fit, tailored for a biking stance, this practical vest is made for life on the bike.
It features a high-low hemline with elastic trims for extra coverage across the lower back whilst riding and elastic edging around the armholes to help keep cold winds out of the vest.
Two top-loading pockets and two zippered hand pockets offer secure storage for all your essentials, so you don't have to worry about them slipping out on the trail. The right-hand chest pocket doubles as a stuff sack to allow you to easily stow the vest in your pack whilst not in use.
