Amazing Jacket

"This is the most amazing jacket that I own. This hoodie is feather light but, warm, comfortable, form fitting, and versatile. The hood fits around the head very well and the collar is functional. The under arm vent zippers work efficiently to relieve heat build-up and the pockets are well positioned. A great hoodie jacket!"

Comfortable / warm

"Very comfortable, warm and moves with my arms nice. When I put my arms up it doesn’t pull back from my wrists."

— Matthew C. (5/5)

Kenai Hooded Jacket for everyday use

"I bought this for everyday use rather than hunting because I left my Axis Hybrid in the Tucson AZ airport last February. I think it is a good looking jacket but I can't say that it is a great looking jacket for everyday use but to each his own regarding the look they are after. Maybe in black some day!! I like that it weighs nearly nothing and quite honestly while I didn't think I would, I do like the cuff design very well. I have not worn this in rainy weather so don't know how well it will repel the water at this point. I have not been in fridged weather with it yet as I just recently bought it and I live in KS so has not been down in the single digits of weather so will be able to tell you more in December. It does seem to block the wind pretty well though so that a huge plus when cold outside. I would not hesitate to purchase it again!"

Q&A

Can it handle 10-20 degrees as a outer layer if you also have a hoodie and a strong fleece 275 on?
Everyone's body is different, but if you run hot you might be comfortable in those conditions if you are active and not stationary
