Jacket

50.00/Per day


A
padded jacket is quite an important clothing when it comes to trekking. It forms an essential layer to keep you warm on any Himalayan trek, especially on winter or high-altitude treks where temperatures fall below freezing.

This particular padded jacket is a 150 GSM jacket, filled with polyfill. Polyfill means that it is filled with small balls of the hollow fibre, like a bean bag. This ensures the insulation is much better than the normal padded jacket. This jacket is an Indiahikes custom design. You will find baffles in the jacket to give you that extra warmth on a cold day on the trek.

Use this jacket as the topmost layer. You need another two layers inside this to weather the winter cold. In case it is raining, use a raincoat on this jacket. This jacket is not waterproof. It is just water-resistant.

4)Smart look and design to give you perfect photos on your treks. (Nobody else has these)

Why do you need a padded jacket on a trek?

A padded jacket is worn as the outermost layer, especially after reaching the campsite after the sun comes down.

Here’s where a padded jacket comes in:

1) It is designed to trap your body heat between its layers and keep your core warm in the extreme temperatures. 

2) It cannot be replaced by sweaters or bulky jackets because of the huge volume/weight trade off. To provide the same amount of warmth a padded/down jacket can provide, you would have to wear 2-3 sweaters, which is not feasible on a Himalayan trek, where you’re trekking as minimally as possible. 

3) Because of the nature of the filling of the padded jackets, they are inherently light, compact and warm.
