Product Insights
This insulated hooded jacket uses biosourced Sorona insulation that retains warmth when damp and after washing, with down-like softness and breathability to avoid clamminess. Its 37% plant-based insulation and 60% plant-based Teflon EcoElite DWR reduce environmental impact, and the durable water repellency lasts 30 washes. A grid fleece liner wicks moisture in high-sweat zones, dries faster than solid fleece, and reduces weight and pack volume. Stretch fabric and compressible insulation allow easy layering without restricting arms, and a tunnel hood fits under a helmet for winter sports. At $175, it's the priciest I.FIV5 outerwear, but it offsets warmth and performance with a tradeoff: it sheds light rain and snow but requires a helmet for wind protection.

Good quality
Love the softness of this jacket. A bit boxy and not fitted around the waist like some other sports jackets, however it moves well and there's lots of room underneath for layering
Très satisfaite
Satisfaction complète
Lightweight and warm
The jacket is so nice to wear. I like that I can wear it in the cold and yet still be warm. It is not bulky and nice to wear in the vehicle to drive and to go into stores and not feel like I have a big bulky coat on. I have worn it outside for walks and I'm amazed at how warm it is being so light weight. I'd highly recommend.
Manteau de belle qualité
Je suis entièrement satisfaite du produit. Grandeur et qualité conforme à mes attentes.

Exactly what I hoped it would be!
This jacket is perfect for west coast Gulf Island winter “rainy season” hiking! It’s light, just right earth, room to move and slimming (36B, apple shaped), a back pocket for phone and keys, a hood for drizzle, and I love the colour with my “soft autumn” palette:)
