What is the HC Insulated Shirt Jacket?
The HC Insulated Shirt Jacket is a lightweight and packable insulated overshirt designed for everyday outdoor use in cooler conditions. It combines the sophisticated styling of a shirt with the added warmth of a light insulated jacket, to provide a balance of warmth, breathability and comfort for daily wear.
It's a highly versatile and practical addition to your wardrobe, whether you're exploring the outdoors, heading to the pub or commuting to work throughout the colder months.
Materials & Technology
Recycled Polyamide Outer
The jacket's outer is made from a lightweight, yet durable, recycled polyamide fabric, designed to be wind-resistant and breathable to help keep your body's microclimate balanced during various activities, whilst offering a balance of durability and comfort for everyday outdoor use.
PrimaLoft® Silver Insulation
For warmth, the HC Insulated Shirt uses 25g of PrimaLoft® Silver Rise synthetic insulation, which is made from 100% recycled polyester from post-consumer recycled material. It's created 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 synthetic 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.
Recycled Polyester Lining
The jacket features a smooth recycled polyester lining, which provides next-to-skin comfort and allows the jacket to easily be slipped on over various layers, whilst still being durable enough to withstand frequent use.
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 of helping to reduce the use of raw materials and non-renewable sources, whilst also reducing air, water and soil contamination.
Features and Functionality
Shirt Jacket Design
The jacket features a timeless shirt design with a press-button front closure, creating an easy-to-wear, quick-on and off style for versatile everyday wear, whether commuting to work or heading out for a walk.
Insulated Warmth
The lightweight PrimaLoft®Silver Insulation provides reliable and low-bulk warmth, even in wet conditions, whilst remaining breathable enough for various everyday activities. The HC Insulated Shirt Jacket works just as well as a light outer layer in milder conditions, as it does a warm, insulating midlayer underneath a hard or softshell jacket in cold conditions.
Hand Pockets
For storage, you'll find two discreet hand pockets along the side seams with press button closure, for easy access storage for your essentials, without impacting the overall look and design of the jacket.
Adjustable Cuffs
Press-button adjustable cuffs allow you to cinch the cuffs in to help trap warm air inside the jacket on colder days, even when wearing gloves.
