What is the Bergtagen 60 Insulation Jacket?
It's a comfortable, functional and warm insulated jacket, ideal for all manner of mountain missions in cold climates. Made from recycled materials and insulation, it's ideal for eco-conscious adventurers looking for a responsibly created, highly versatile insulated jacket.
What is it made from?
Insulation: For warmth, the jacket uses 60g of PrimaLoft® Silver Rise synthetic insulation, which is made from 100% recycled polyamide from post-consumer recycled material with P.U.R.E. Technology, which is a proprietary, renewable manufacturing technology that delivers a reduction in carbon emissions during the manufacturing process by up to 70%.
PrimaLoft® Silver Rise is lightweight and highly durable insulation with a unique construction that allows it to resist compression and mimic the look and feel of down. Highly packable, it boasts an impressive warmth-to-weight ratio comparable to high-quality natural down without any of the faff, making it a great vegan-friendly alternative to down that can still perform even when wet.
Outer: The outer is made from a weather-resistant, durable Pertex fabric created from recycled polyester. This material is soft and smooth to the touch, allowing it to be easily worn underneath a waterproof shell jacket. The material is light, yet still provides a high level of abrasion resistance to withstand regular use in the outdoors without compromising on weight or packability.
Lining: The jacket's lining is made from a soft and smooth recycled polyester fabric to allow it to easily glide on over various midlayers and enhance next-to-skin comfort. Fjallraven's recycled polyester is responsibly created from plastic PET bottles, unusable second-quality fabrics and fabric offcuts. Rest assured, it still retains the same exceptional durability and performance as virgin polyester, with the added bonus that it helps reduce the use of raw materials and non-renewable sources while reducing air, water and soil contamination.
The outer and lining of the jacket are finished with a PFAS-Free DWR (durable water repellent) coating to encourage light rain and snow to bead off the jacket or allow it to be popped on over wet midlayers without the use of harmful forever chemicals. However, please note this does not make the jacket waterproof.
What are its features?
Traditional in design, the jacket features an adjustable, insulated hood that can easily be adjusted with one hand on the move, reducing time spent faffing when the weather's turned nasty.
The jacket is fastened with a simple two-way front zip for versatile use on the mountain should you need to wear a climbing harness. It can be unzipped from the bottom to provide access to a harness or to provide freedom of movement through the hips for more challenging routes.
Pre-shaped sleeves offer a comfortable, unrestrictive fit whilst stretch fabric cuffs deliver a snug fit around various layers or gloves to help seal vital warmth inside the jacket.
For storage, you'll find two large, zipped hand pockets and a chest pocket to offer safe and convenient storage of various trail essentials, such as a mobile phone, snacks and a GPS device. Inside the jacket, there are handy stash pockets for storing a beanie or spare gloves ready for when you need them.
The jacket is finished with drawcord bottom hem to further seal out the elements and easy-grip pullers for uncomplicated use with chunky gloves or mitts.
