Product Insights

The I.FIV5 Lightweight Packable Ripstop Jacket is a PFAS-compliant, 100% recycled polyester shell with fluorine-free DWR that matches traditional C6 water-shedding and can be heat-reactivated, though it does not repel oils. Its ripstop grid resists tears like virgin polyester, while the mechanically recycled fabric feels softer and more cloth-like. The cocoon hood seals with elastic edging (no drawcord), and a chest zip pocket allows access without unzipping the main jacket. It packs into a dedicated carry pouch for soft compression, blocks wind chill, dries quickly, and layers as an uninsulated shell—warmth depends on a midlayer. The DWR maintains effective beading for 25–40 washes but requires re-treatment every 20–30 washes with PFC-free products. I.FIV5 is a Simons-exclusive brand designed in Canada, popular among ultralight backpackers.
