What is Icarus Jacket?
Offering warmth for all conditions, this lightweight synthetic jacket is exceptionally versatile. You're able to wear it as a technical, super warm mid-layer or as a protective outer layer in less severe conditions.
What is it made of?
Insulation
Taking care of the insulation inside the Icarus is 205g of Primaloft Black Thermoplume made from 100% recycled materials. This excellent insulation from Primaloft is a jump forward in terms of synthetic insulation. Thermoplume Black Insulation offers the same thermal properties as 550FP down by using tiny silky tufts of synthetic fibres. In addition, thanks to the specific blend of water-resistant Primaloft fibres, it can deliver exceptional loft even in wet conditions.
Outer fabric
Surrounding this superb insulation is a Pertex Quantum Eco outer fabric that offers high levels of weather resistance with an added DWR to help shed light rain and is made from 50% recycled materials.
Inner fabric
Using 100% recycled PEAQ Synthetic ECO lining, the Icarus is more friendly to the planet than ever before! Plus, it is super smooth for easy layering.
So, all in all, it is a warm, packable jacket that is also a more sustainable choice for the environment!
What are the features?
The Icarus Jacket has a snug-fitting insulated hood designed to fit under a climbing helmet when belaying or mountaineering. At the same time, a microfleece-lined chin guard provides a soft surface next to the skin when the jacket is done up. In addition, Montane's technical tailoring means the articulated arms means the jacket resists rising when reaching for holds above your head. Pockets wise, you get two hand pockets and another on the chest, more than enough for the usual bits and bobs. Lastly, an adjustable hem and elasticated cuffs keep the cold out.
How does it fit?
The Icarus features a regular fit which should suit most users. There's plenty of room in the shoulders, while the length is about average. If sized correctly, there's enough room for layers underneath.
Where does it fit in the layering system?
The Icarus can be used as a super warm mid-layer with a shell over the top or an outer layer when less severe weather. It would be a little snug to be used as an over-layer; however you could if you sized up.
