A trusted partner in the mountains for Strafe’s athletes the Strafe Incubator Women's Insulator starts with Primaloft Gold insulation because this synthetic insulation is incredibly lightweight, fast-drying, and most importantly, the warmth-to-weight ratio is hard to beat. Compressible and water-repellent, this synthetic down is paired with a Recon SHIELD lightweight double rip-stop fabric then cut with pack-friendly seamless shoulders, underarm gussets for improved mobility, and tailored for the maximum versatility as a midlayer to slide under a shell, or a packable warmer you’ll keep handy 12 months out of the year. Surprisingly featured for a piece that rolls in at 430gm (15.3oz) this has not only zip hand pockets but a zippered interior mesh pocket, Polartec Power Dry lightweight thumbhole cuffs, and elastic binding around the hood. Attractively quilted with contrast fabric inside the hood this is a daily driver of a light jacket, a winter midlayer, and a piece that won’t go amiss in any active women’s gear bag. Cut to a comfortable fingertip length with a hem drawcord for cinching in warmth when you need it, this is a versatile insulating piece with the toasty of down0 without the fuss of caring for it.
