Lightweight. Heavy Duty.
The Gravitas has a lightweight 3-layer construction, giving it next-level comfort, weighing just 200g. It packs away into its own pocket-sized stuff sack. The 10D outer fabric is made from 100% recycled nylon. With 20K MVTR breathability and 20K HH waterproofing, the Gravitas is a high-performance jacket for fast and light activities in hostile weather.
A Hood for High Winds
The Gravitas has a hood with a stiffened wire peak. It has a simple rear adjuster and semi-elasticated opening for protection in sudden downpours. It also has a hood stow tab so you can roll it out of the way and use it as a collar.
Designed for Comfort
The cuffs are cut to protect the backs of your hands and feature semi-elasticated openings for comfort. The Gravitas has also been designed with minimal seams and no visible stitching throughout to reduce snag and wear points, including on the ample-sized hidden chest pocket. The soft tricot knit backer eliminates clamminess next to your skin.
Designer’s notes
“Everyone knows that boil-in-the-bag feeling from a waterproof that doesn’t breathe. For Gravitas, we wanted to create an ultralight jacket for working hard in the hills that’d leave that clammy feeling a thing of the past. And we’ve done it. It’s a 200g jacket, yes, 200! (size M) with a 3-layer construction, 20K hydrostatic head and 20K MVTR.
But we didn’t want to just chase the numbers or compromise durability. The outer fabric is fully recycled 10D nylon that’ll take the wear and tear of the trail, there’s a wire peaked hood that can be stowed quickly, semi-elasticated cuffs for comfort and it’ll pack down into its tiny stuff sack too.”
