The JMT Pullover is our lightest insulated shell. Designed for summer layering in the mountains, it's named after the classic John Muir Trail in the Sierra
Features
The JMT is a hooded pullover with a deep, venting ½ zipper
Roomy Kangaroo hand-warmer pocket, Alpha Direct insulated to save bulk and weight
The hood casing and waist hem have fully adjustable shockcords
The sleeve ends have no elastic, but comes with thumb loops
Warmth
With base layers most users should have static comfort at 35-40°F
The insulation represents over 50% of the total weight
A sewn-thru design will increase its insulating properties if used under a lightweight wind shell, trapping additional air in the baffle depressions
Pro tip: Try sourcing a 10d shell lined with Alpha Direct and wear this on top for freezing damp conditions, or butt cold shoulder season use.
Utility
This is not an 'Active Insulation' layer. Using while wearing a pack will trap perspiration, quickly flattening the down
Design
10d fabrics. More durable options available on menu
900 fill power goose down with Alpha Direct in select areas
Sewn thru non-box baffled construction allow efficient use of small amounts of down
Non-separating zipper prolong the life of the garment while making it easier to handle in strong winds
Sizing
The pullover is based on the pattern from the long gone Apex JMT, ie same fit: Roomy enough for light layering
