Kryptek Vellus Jacket

Kryptek’s Vellus Jacket is a versatile cold-weather outer layer that takes fleece to a whole new level through the thoughtful integration of advanced materials.

Synthetic Thinsulate thermal insulation provides warmth down to temperatures as low as 15° F, and a layer of antimicrobial silver embedded into the fibers inhibits the growth of odor-causing bacteria.

Waterproof, windproof and surprisingly quiet, the jacket features numerous exterior and interior pockets, and its hood, waistband and wrist cuffs are all adjustable—with the hood also being completely detachable.

The Vellus Jacket is available in three of Kryptek’s camouflage patterns—the new Obskura Skyfall (shown), Obskura Transitional and Highlander—and a version cut specifically for women is also offered.

MSRP is $250. For more information, visit kryptek.com.
