Refreshful SilkWool Jacket M insulation jacket | Ocean Green-Grey

The lightweight and functional mountaineering jacket with innovative and unique SilkWool insulation

The Refreshful SilkWool Jacket is a versatile year-round jacket with light insulation, ideal for high-intensity activities.

The natural SilkWool insulation optimally regulates moisture and temperature. It keeps you pleasantly warm and dry even in high humidity, so you feel comfortable across a wide temperature range. This noticeably dry and balanced wearing climate is maintained even during intense activities such as biking, trekking, or ski touring.

Grüezi bag® jackets offer the best wearing comfort and functionality

Many features make the "Refreshful SilkWool Jacket" a perfect companion even for demanding alpinists.

• SilkWool – the better insulation: SilkWool retains its insulating properties even in high humidity. This means SilkWool offers better thermal performance, even in cold, wet conditions.
• Larger temperature range: SilkWool jackets have a wider temperature range in which you feel comfortable than conventional jackets
• Drier wearing climate: The innovative SilkWool insulation blend, consisting of 30% recycled Italian silk and 50% European wool, ensures a dry, balanced wearing climate. While silk quickly wicks away moisture during active sports, wool reliably keeps you warm even when damp.
  
• Well-thought-out cut: The extension of the back and sleeves guarantee optimal freedom of movement.
• Lightweight and small pack size: Ultra-light, durable, breathable, and recycled fabrics save weight and extend the life of the product.
  
• OEKO-TEX® STANDARD 100 certification: Grüezi bag® products are harmless to human health.

WHAT IS SILKWOOL?

The natural insulation made from 30% recycled silk and 50% wool from the Alps offers an exceptional wearing climate.

• Silk: transports moisture very quickly from the inside of the jacket to the outside.
• Wool: It balances body temperature fluctuations and provides warmth even when wet. Wool is also antibacterial and neutralizes unpleasant sweat odors.

The result: A jacket with a very wide comfortable temperature range, where you neither sweat nor freeze. SilkWool also ensures excellent moisture management for year-round sporting activities.

FEEDBACK FROM A PROFESSIONAL

Peter Fresia, state-certified mountain and ski guide with extensive industry experience:

"I was able to test the jacket not only for everyday use, but also on two spring ski tours and several high-altitude tours in the Eastern Alps. The jacket proved its worth even in strong winds and temperatures as low as -12 degrees Celsius. The highest tour reached an elevation of 3.770 meters. As an active mountain guide, I usually place the highest demands on my equipment, in addition to technical details such as function, cut, and durability. And here your jacket shines with a unique feature. All my insulated jackets, whether made of wool or synthetic fiber, can't match the comfort offered by the silk and wool blend. This applies both during activity and as pure insulation in cold weather. Of course, the pack size is a compromise, but the detachable hood offers more versatility. I would adjust the sporty outfit with a few quilted seams, a bit of pep, and a size adjustment. However, even for me, that doesn't weigh heavily against the outstanding climate performance. I'm happy to recommend this jacket to my guests."

David Bruder, climber, mountain guide and alpinist:

"I wore this fine jacket on an alpine multi-pitch climb in the Rätikon at 2300-2800 meters. I wore a long-sleeved wool shirt underneath. The weather was sunny and mildly cold (pretty much in the single digits at 2500 meters), with a fresh autumnal morning, a gusty, cold wind at the top, and there was already snow on the ground. It does what it's supposed to: moderate insulation while regulating moisture. I didn't sweat too much while climbing, and it didn't get clammy while belaying. The outer fabric seems quite robust: no tears despite the very rough limestone. The cut suits me well; it's relatively close-fitting, long enough, and not baggy. The outside chest pocket is practical for my cell phone, but the front pockets are inaccessible with a harness, but you don't really want them to be. The hood is practical with a zipper, but it's not helmet-compatible. Apart from that, the jacket seems pretty good, even for the cool and cold season."

MAINTENANCE

Washing

• The washing instructions are in a small pocket sewn into the back seam on the inside of the jacket.
• The jacket can be hand washed with a wool detergent at a maximum of 30°C/86°F. Please turn inside out, zip up, and run an additional rinse cycle.
• Do not use fabric softener and only wring out lightly at the end.

Drying Solutions

• On sunny days, you can place the jacket on a clothes rack to allow air to reach the jacket from above and below. Please allow the jacket to dry thoroughly.

Tip:

• Airing this jacket is better than washing it. Wool jackets rarely need to be washed, as wool itself has natural odor-inhibiting and dirt-repellent properties. For minor external soiling, we recommend gently cleaning only the stain itself (see above). Jacket with greasy or extensively soiled areas can be hand-washed.
