The Arcteryx Kappa Hoody is a brilliant winter insulated hooded jacket. Whilst not guaranteed completely waterproof it will keep out all but the most extreme weather. Heavily insulated with a 140g/m² synthetic Coreloft polyester fibre the Kappa is perfect for active pursuits in freezing conditions. The Kappa is constructed using N70p Windstopper fabric with critical areas reinforced with N80p-X fabric for increased abrasion resistance. Windstopper fabric is made using the same PTFE membrane as normal Gore-Tex products but without some of the protective layers; this makes it very highly water resistant but not absolutely completely waterproof. Arcteryx further enhance the wet weather performance of the Kappa by taping the critical seams over the shoulders & chest. Our practical experience has shown us that you would have to try very hard indeed, in some pretty horrendous conditions, to get wet in this jacket. The advantage of Windstopper is that it is much more breathable, so better suited to more aerobic activities. Insulation is taken care of by 140g of Coreloft, a siliconised, highly crimped polyester yarn that is highly breathable, compressible & has excellent loft retention. Unlike down Coreloft will retain much of its warmth even if it does get wet. Fully featured with a helmet compatible Storm Hood with a microsuede lined internal collar for comfort & a plethora of pockets for all your stuff.
