Reviews

Favorite peice of gear I own.

"Perfect jacket. Wore this on a recent backpacking trip in the mountains to test it out. Kept me warm when it was cooler out in the morning and evenings. I even slept in it. Very comfortable and makes very little noise. Bought wize large and at 5'10"/184lbs with a more athletic build I have room under the jacket for a base layer and a hoodie if needed. It packs down decently enough but obviously not as much as down. Wind didnt seem to cut through it too much. This will always be in my pack or on me."

Kenai Hooded Jacket valo

"Very comfortable and packable jacket. Love the hood and the pit zips. Wish it had thumb holes for layering but still a great jacket. 5'7 170 lbs and a large fits good with room for layers"

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!"

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

Looking for an insulated jacket to take to climb Mt Kilimanjaro. Is the Kenai or Super Down LT a better option?
The Kenai will have a breathable synthetic insulation so it will be able to be used while hiking, but the Super Down LT is just designed for stationary use. I would recommend the Kenai
