What is the Tromso Jacket?
It's a durable, versatile insulated jacket that works perfectly for both casual and outdoor adventures. Whether hill walking with friends, running errands across town, or exploring the city, the Tromso will keep you warm and comfortable without looking out of place.
What is it made of?
The outer material is Drilite® Loft 50D, which comprises 100% recycled polyester with a 75% recycled polyester membrane for extra weather resistance. Introduced almost 30 years ago, Drilite® Loft was totally ahead of its time. Drilite® Loft is a specialised fabric that offers lightweight, breathable, water-resistant protection. It uses a durable membrane to exceed a hydrostatic head (HH) of 1500mm, almost making it waterproof (although not 100%) without the heavy, wrinkly material and better breathability.
The material is also finished with a PFAS-free DWR (durable water repellent), encouraging water to bead off the material instead of soaking in to maintain breathability, even when the rain comes in.
296g of recycled down, with a minimum of 700 fill power, keeps you warm and toasty. Being recycled, this down insulation will be a combination of duck and goose down, as these insulation types often get mixed together as part of the recycling process, creating a lightweight, lofty, packable layer of warmth for various activities and occasions.
Can't quite catch the lingo? Here's a quick breakdown...
700 Fill power - Fill power measures the warmth and efficiency of the down, alongside its ability to loft/fluff up. A rating of 700 fill power means that 1oz of this down fills 700 cubic inches of space when fully lofted.
PFAS-free DWR - PFAS means per- or poly-fluorinated alkyl; these are a group of industrial chemicals that cause detrimental harm to the environment. These chemicals aren't able to break down, so once they reach nature via factory water waste, they stay in the ecosystem and contaminate living organisms, working their way up the food chain. PFAS and PFC's are suspected carcinogens and have been known to affect mammal reproduction and hormone production. Therefore, many leading brands in the outdoor industry are now prioritising cutting out the use of these chemicals entirely to contribute to a more responsible manufacturing process.
What are the features?
The hood can be zipped off and fully adjusted to fit over various layers or suit different situations.
A stitched-through construction helps keep the down in place for an even spread of warmth.
The centre-front zip has a two-way functionality, allowing you to dump heat quickly when working hard or accommodate a fanny pack or even a climbing harness underneath, keeping it accessible at all times. The zip also has an insulated baffle to keep out drafts when worn open slightly.
Two zipped hand warmer pockets stash small essentials such as trail snacks, energy gels, or doggy bags, plus an inner zipped security pocket keeps valuables like keys or a mobile phone safe.
Lastly, adjustable cuffs and hem drawcords provide extra adaptability and help to seal in the warmth to regulate and balance temperature.
