The Cloudveil Zero G Jacket invents a new category—the insulated softshell. This PrimaLoft insulated stretchy jacket extends the comfort range and versatility of softshell jackets. The Zero G Jacket's stretchy Schoeller Dynamic outer shell is wind and water resistant, while the PrimaLoft keeps you toasty warm whether you're riding lifts or standing on top of a peak. Inner stretch panel allow freedom of movement when hiking up a steep boot-pack or reaching for the next pole plant. The internal powder skirt comes with a pant attachment snap system, so you can create full-coverage system, without looking like you stepped out of a vintage 80's Warren Miller film.
Bottom Line: The company that invented the softshell reinvents the concept with the Cloudveil Zero G Jacket.
I reach for this jacket the most for both cold work days or a day on the slopes. It has a low-key appearance, tough and waterproof soft-shell exterior, low-loft insulation that's warm without being puffy, and no useless gimmicks. I like it more than the insulated hard shell Arc'teryx Fission, which seems delicate in comparison. The Cloudveil is more like a high-tech Carhartt in both durability and styling, which is why I like it so much. You'll find better dedicated skiing jackets with stuff like powder skirts and pit zips, but for all-around versatility the Zero G is the best in its class.
Awesome jacket...can't beat Cloudveil quality. Highly recommended. I have worn it in single digit skiing with light layers and have been warm. Very light for as warm as it is. Classic, functional style...not trendy. Only beef is the collar seems a bit low...had trouble tucking in my chin & mouth when the wind blew, but i can live with that...
This is a really warm jacket. Everyone advertises this jacket as a softshell but when you get your hands on it, it feels more like a hard shell.
This jacket has some really nice features. Great zippers and pocket placement with a really nice powder skirt to finish it off.
For some reason the mediuim I tried in this jacket was a bit roomy in the front. I had a good 4 to 6 inches of jacket I could pull from the body.
Very nice jacket, just beware of the larger sizing.
