Wearing a backpack when hiking is an essential task to keep essentials on hand but will often result in an overheated back, so the 'Pak-Jak' has been developed to offer a more comfortable alternative. The jacket looks and functions like a piece of performance outerwear, but is equipped with a specialized, patent-pending panel in the rear that can be left open or paired with a interchangeable mesh. This will allow backpackers to feel more comfortable and supported as they explore on their own terms.
The 'Pak-Jak' is paired with a Primaloft insulation for enhanced comfort in cooler climates, which also enables it to easily withstand exposure to moisture.The jacket maintains a lightweight construction that is easy to carry with you when not being worn.
