We didn’t hold back on any features. Everything you know and love from our LoftTek Jacket is still here, but the NovaUL takes warmth & performance to the next level!
This innovative puffy jacket utilized all-new Nova Zero Stitch™ Fabric, which is neither bonded nor stitched, but literally woven into place. The D-tube baffle design gives the NovaUL a classic puffy jacket look while eliminating the chance for stitches to wear out or snag on things as you brush by.
What this means is that you get a jacket with 10,000 fewer stitch holes than typical down or puffy jackets, making the NovaUL more water & wind resistant, and ultimately more durable! It's hard to get any moisture through this fabric!
But we didn't stop there. The new Nova Jacket line also utilizes our brand new DownLT™ insulation, which combines mostly 850 Fill Power HyperDry down with a small percentage of synthetic LoftTek. DownLT™ insulation is much more stable than typical down, and will stay lofted even when soaked (in the small chance that moisture even gets through the Nova Zero Stitch Fabric!)
These new innovations give you a warmer, more reliable jacket that you can take on any adventure without worrying about it wetting out or not performing the way you need it to.
This jacket is ideal for all 3-season applications and uses. The fit should be just loose enough to fit a base layer & something like the Ventus Hoodie beneath it, but shouldn't be much larger than that.
12 oz (Men's Large)
10.5 oz (Women's Medium)
Features:
Packs Into Own Pocket: Easily transport or store the jacket in it's own left pocket! Simply flip the pocket inside out while stuffing the jacket inside, and zip closed. Use it when you need it, and pack it away when you don't! Also use the jacket as a pillow when it's packed away!
High Neck: Stay warm by sealing in the heat around your neck! When zipped up fully, the NovaUL Jacket goes all the way up to your chin for warmth and comfort.
Underarm Vents: If you start getting too warm but it's still cold out, you can unzip the underarm vents and immediately release heat to stabilize your temperature.
Insulated 2-Way Adjustable Hood: No matter which direction you turn your head, you can keep the hood out of your peripherals and see clearly by adjusting the fit of the hood to your head.
Adjustable Hem: Lock in heat by fitting the hem of the jacket to your hips and waist. No need to worry about cord ends hanging down, excess cord will be stored in the front pockets!
Water Repellent Shell: The Nova Zero Stitch™ fabric not only has 10,000 fewer stitch holes (potential leaking points), but is also treated, which makes it difficult to get the jacket wet. Water just beads up and rolls off! If the jacket does get wet, the insulation stays lofted and continues to insulate.
Insulated Zippered Pockets: Keep your hands warm in the insulated pockets. When combined with the thumbholes, you're hands will stay cozy! Also keep your valuables from being lost by zipping them securely into these pockets!
Athletic Fit & Drop Back: The athletic cut and drop back of the jacket keep you looking great no matter where you are. The drop back allows you to sit while keeping your rear and back fully covered.
Thumbholes: Keep your hands warm while still using your fingers and thumbs by using the reinforced thumbholes in the sleeves!

Warm Even When Wet
Both the DownLT™ insulation & the Nova Zero Stitch™ Fabric combined create a jacket that is warm, ultralight, & weather resistant in any condition!
Even IF the jacket's insulation gets wet, the insulation will not collapse & you'll stay warm!
Woven Baffle Technology
Nova Zero Stitch™ Fabric
Nova Zero Stitch ™ fabric utilizes innovative technology to literally weave baffles into place. There are no stitches, and no bonding. You can't snag a stitch that isn't there, and water or dirt can't enter through stitch holes that don't exist!

Glenn Covert I got this jacket for my wife on her birthday. We are planning a trip to Alaska in June. She wears it everyday and loves the fit, color and warmth. Then with it turning into pillow when she wants on a trip to rest is just another plus. Great jacket.

Whitney Roeder I really wanted to love this jacket but I decided to return it. I ordered a size up from my normal size, which was a little too big. I was going to just make it work because of the layering aspect, but the sleeves were too long for my arms. I would have had to roll them up. Otherwise, it was a beautiful jacket and super lightweight.

Rose I went on an overnight hike to High-top Shelter in the Shenandoah's in Nov 2022. The weather was going to be around 40 in the day and 22 at night so I was finally going to test this jacket out. I only wore a short sleeve shirt under this jacket and I was really surprised how warm I was during the hike up, I had to unzip and open the jacket because I was overheating. At night, I wore the jacket while sleeping in my hammock and I was toasty warm. At first I was not sure about this jacket because It was a tad bit large around the waist and sleeves. I thought I would not keep warm. On this trip, I was proven wrong. I also love the fact that it is light and not bulky. My nest test is wearing it in the rain and or snow.

Julia A. I own a LoftTek jacket; and now a NovaUL. The sizing is quite confusing. But my husband bought the same jackets for himself, each time, before I bought mine. So I could try his on; then compare with the website charts. With the LoftTek, I got a Men's (2XL). It fits a little tight in places (Hips). So when I got the NovaUL, I went with a Women's version, and went with same label size (2XL); which is slightly bigger. OV realized that the Athletic sizing was causing problems with their LofTek jackets, and they up sized the dimensions by about half a size. I like the way the women's version flairs at the hips. And the Men's has such longer arm length, that I'm quite happy with the way the women's fits me. I normally size at a 14-16 size. And yet the 2XL was the right size for me. The Nova UL is slightly warmer than the older LoftTek. But not by much.

Cat House This jacket is pretty slick! Weights almost nothing and actually keeps you warm! Ive also worn this in rainy conditions and stayed dry but haven't been out in a full downpour in this as yet. The fit was a little awkward - very tight at the bottom, I'm a size 8 and the medium is tight enough around the hips/bottom that I almost returned it. Because of that it tends to ride up. All that being said, this is a really well made jacket with so many pros that FAR outweigh any cons. Would I recommend this jacket? Yep, I already have, to all my backpacking friends!
