Synthetic Insulated Jacket
The synthetic insulated Torrid jacket is manufactured in Minnesota (United States) by Enlightened Equipment and will keep you warm in conditions of humidity, cold, or prolonged drizzle.
When to use it
In comparison to down, synthetic fiber does not lose its loft when wet and consequently continues to retain the heat you generate. It’s ideal for most 3-season hiking trails (spring-summer-fall). Of course, you can use it in winter, knowing its limitations.
Use it for hiking peaks over +2000m or to extend the temperature range of your sleeping bag. We recommend its use with a quilt for an extremely lightweight and versatile system when temperatures drop more than expected.

Design
It has a rather simple design and takes up very little space when compressed. It has 2 zippered side pockets to store your things or keep your hands warm inside. Another zipper to close or partially open the jacket if you need to ventilate.
Elastic cuffs on the wrists and waist that perform their function perfectly and a hood that helps retain heat in cold conditions.

Made from Climashield APEX and 10D nylon
To keep you warm, it uses a moisture-resistant synthetic filling called ClimaShield Apex. This high-end thermal insulator is manufactured in the USA and is one of the lightest, most compressible, and efficient you can find on the market.
The fabric is very soft to the touch. In addition, the outer fabric has a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating that repels water, mud, and dirt.

Esta chaqueta es una magnífica opción para combatir el frío, pesa muy poco y se seca rápido. Eso sí, es para ambientes realmente fríos, porque hace honor a su nombre, es tórrida (-:
La recomiendo sin duda.
