Ventus- named from the Latin origin word for ‘wind’, this lightweight insulated active hoodie vents incredibly well all while maintaining its static insulation properties.
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!
Active breathability is further enhanced by targeted & body-mapped placement of insulation and fabrics. The uninsulated underarms are perforated for targeted ventilation in the hottest part of your torso.
An unobtrusive insulated hood and lightweight coating on the exterior fabric give the Ventus Active Hoodie the ability to also act as a great wind breaker with amazing temperature control!
A hidden inner pocket allows you to easily pack up the Ventus for storage in a pack or luggage when you aren't using it. You can compress this hoodie down to the size of a softball, so between the ultralight weight and amazing packability, you'll have no problem taking this with you on any adventure. You'll never be left high and dry without a warm layer again!
Start experiencing the outdoors more light and comfortable now with the newest game-changing insulated hoodie available! No more compromising, stay at a comfortable temperature anywhere and on any type of adventure!

3DeFX Technology
Four types of spiral-shaped fibers are intertwined to give 3DeFX insulation more loft and stretchability than traditional microfiber synthetic insulations. This insulation stretches with you as you move, allowing heat to escape & keeping you at the perfect temperature!
Basically what this means is that you get a warmer insulation that weighs less & helps regulate temperature.

KMK Been searching for a great mid-layer for some time. Patagonia R1 zip good but no hood and the wind cuts right through. Appalachian gear company hoody nice and snuggly warm but wind cuts through and the hood is too generous. So far the Ventus seems perfect. Only used it on day hikes so far but on these winter hikes it was plenty warm over just a base layer enough and during sustained climbs did not overheat. Looks like the Ventus has landed a spot in my backpack for 2023.

Leinna Slone Excellent light weight mid layer, I was worried about it being tight so I ordered a size up, fits great except the hood is a little bigger than I was hoping for, but it is still an amazing replacement for my R1 and half the weight.
Love it

Ali I love a snug fit- so I ignored the caution..if you like to layer or just a loose fit ? Order up. It was recommended a Medium...but I ordered a small. I get hot easy...an dont like layers. I live in south Louisiana full of humidty. I took it out at 30°`s an cold start. Not a warm start...but I run 3 miles an like a hot engine after 30 seconds I was very tempted to shed the one layer Ventus jacket..loved the vents under the arms..I was comfortable then hot...so our weather is very cold due to the humitity makeing it feel cold..dry would be hot in 30° weather. I hate the weather here ,an long for the moutains.. looking forward to the 20° weather said to be coming..? Its so different every day...

Julie G Just completed a weekend backpacking trip using my new ventus. Super light! Instant warmth! Really like it!!
Note to buyer: It’s designed to be snug. I normally wear an XS but ordered a S. It’s still very snug around wrists, and torso. (Had trouble looking at my watch because of it) May be an issue if you’re going to have thicker layers underneath. I wore a base layer and was very happy.
I understand why it’s fitted though.
It’s designed this way to hold in heat.

Laura I love how packable the Ventus is! Mornings are usually cool here (when we aren’t in a heat wave), so when I get out early to the trails to hike, forage, look for track and sign, etc., it’s perfect for the temps. When it’s warmed up, it takes up so little room in my pack. It’s great for traveling, too. This will be my go to for a long time. Thanks for making such a great product!
