What packable has to mean
What packable has to mean
Packability is a real specification and most brands treat it as an adjective. A jacket earns the word when it folds into its own pocket or a bag corner without a fight. It also has to come out without a permanent crease across the back.
Weave density decides that. A fine, tightly spun polyester folds small and springs back. A stiff coated shell does neither.
Chest, length and sleeve
Chest at size M runs 112 cm on the Stretch Travel Jacket to 134 cm on the fleece-lined Softshell. Body length sits between 67 cm and 74 cm, and sleeve runs 56 cm to 80 cm because the Sun Protection Jacket is drafted long to cover the back of the hand.
Fabrics cover 100% polyester, 100% cotton, a 63% polyester and 37% nylon blend, and a lightweight cotton on the Kimono Jacket. Each carries a size chart and sizes reach XXS to XXL. Cold wash and hang it to dry.
Three plain polyester shells
The Drizzler Jacket, the Navy Coaches Jacket and the Stretch Travel Jacket are the plainest here. Each is a 100% polyester shell with a full polyester lining. The Drizzler zips and finishes on rib-knit cuffs and hem. The Coaches snaps shut and has a drawcord hem. The Travel Jacket has a stretch-woven shell and zipped pockets for keys and a phone. Take your usual size in all three.
Heavier shells and sun cover
For heavier shells built for weather see outdoor jackets.
For sun cover specifically see sun protection jackets, and for the kimono cut see japanese jackets. The full outerwear range is jackets.

Frequently asked questions
What makes a jacket packable?
A fine, tightly spun weave that folds small and recovers without a crease. Weight alone does not do it. A stiff coated shell stays stiff folded.
Are lightweight jackets warm enough for winter?
On their own, no. They block wind and rain and layer over a hoodie. For real cold take an insulated coat instead.
Why is one sleeve 80 cm?
The Sun Protection Jacket is drafted long on purpose so the cuff covers the back of the hand, and that is where most people burn on a long day.
What sizes do they reach?
XXS to XXL across the range. Each product page carries its own size chart.
