Bight Gear Men's Swelter Jacket
Description
Our favorite ski jacket this past winter. The Swelter rides cold chair lifts like a champ, keeps you warm while watching an alpine sunrise, and covers all the right places when the cold hits. Extra length in the torso keeps your butt warm sitting on a pack or riding a lift. Stretchy cuffs slide over gloves easily, and the helmet-compatible hood fits over both climbing and skiing helmets. And we think it’s pretty cool the Power Fill™ insulation is made with 80% post-consumer recycled content.
NEED TO KNOW:
- Function: Midweight insulating piece that keeps body heat up when outside temps drop. When sweltering is a good thing.
- Layering: Wear this jacket alone or over 2-3 layers
- Insulation Type: Synthetic (Polartec® Power Fill™ 100gm, 80% post-consumer recycled content)
- Fit: Athletic

Men's Swelter Jacket
Men's Swelter Jacket
Amazing quality — introduced to it during a Rainier Climb (Jess) with Whittaker Mountaineering via the equipment rental. Great fit, incredible quality, awesome on the mountain or around town. All of the family now own them.
You guys are amazing, the quality is top notch but the fit is a tad tight for those who are not super athletes.
Excellent jacket very soft fits well took it for a test run on my motorcycle to see if it will hold up to high winds ....very wind resistance love it will keep me warm in the wind....
I have worn this jacket almost every day since I bought it a few months ago, and take it with me everywhere I go. It looks great to wear to school or in public, or just around the house, and is super warm. I took it onto the Muir Snowfield in mid 20 degree weather, and had to unzip it, because I was so warm! Definitely the best coat I have ever bought!
