Pacaya 2.0 Insulated Hooded Jacket - Women's

About this find

The Pacaya 2.0 Insulated Hooded Jacket from Cotopaxi is a breathable layer for cool-weather adventures on ski or foot. The main body is 100% recycled nylon (38gsm), and the secondary body is 97% recycled polyester with 3% spandex (215gsm). It has a regular fit and an adjustable hood, so you can set the coverage for the weather.

The insulation is Imbotex Millefiori, a 60gsm blend of 40% recycled wool and 60% recycled low-melting polyester. The wool comes from pre-consumer scraps. It is designed to regulate heat on chillier active days, helping you stay comfortable as your pace changes between climbs, descents and stops along the way.

This is a hybrid build, with stretch panels on the side seams running through the sleeves for easier movement when you reach or swing your arms. Two zippered hand pockets sit at the sides, and an interior chest pocket holds small items. An adjustable hem lets you tighten the bottom edge to match the day.

On stormy days, the jacket also works as a layer under a waterproof shell. Put the shell on over it before the rain starts so the insulation stays dry. When the weather clears, the jacket packs into itself, which makes it simple to stash in a bag.
