"...it’s been an awesome performer for cold morning trail running in a variety of temperatures from 25-40 degrees. The vented armpits breathe well and the whole jacket moves perfectly with every motion."

9 oz. Ultralight Weight
At just 9 oz, the Vario is deceptively warm & versatile! Not only does it wick moisture & dry quickly, but the ultralight fabrics on the Vario also BREATHE.
The Vario packs down to the size of a grapefruit, & you'll hardly notice it's there when not in use.
Take the Vario anywhere for any type of adventure!
ACTIVE BREATHABILITY & COMFORT
Body Mapped Breathability
Innovative 3DeFX insulation stretches with you as you move. As it does, tiny coils are stretched out - reducing loft & increasing breathability.
Basically its warm when you need it to be & breathable while you're moving.
Perforated underarm vents & non-insulated panels allow you increased ventilation & keep your body at the right temperature!
By targeting stretchable insulation to specific areas, using a collection of fabrics and coatings to maximize breathability, offering a 1/4 zip and perforated underarms the Ventus gives you incredible warmth, while also giving you the ability to breath as you move!
MORE VERSATILE THAN EVER

The Ventus Active Hoodie brings a new meaning to "ultralight backpacking". No longer do you have to sacrifice warmth to get a lower pack weight! This hoodie is something you'll have with you whether you're backpacking, biking, traveling, snowshoeing, or during any other part of your active lifestyle!
Utilizing innovative 3DeFX Insulation we were able to create a hoodie that weighs only half of what other traditional insulated hoodies weigh while retaining high warmth value and active body-mapped breathability! Both the 3DeFX insulation and durable Ripstop Nylon fabric of the hoodie stretch with you as you move. This causes tiny coils (much like trampoline springs) to expand- allowing more heat to escape and the hoodie to breathe with you when you need it. When the hoodie fabric and insulation isn't being stretched with your motion, these coils contract and create an incredible amount of loft and warmth! This means you'll be able to stay comfortable regardless of your activity levels!
