Description:

This limited edition Gamma Synthetic Jacket is £70 less than our standard Gamma jacket. Although a little heavier (by just 35g) it boasts a water-resistant Ultrashell fabric outer, proofing the jacket to a higher degree. Part of our Summer Light, Autumn Fast Collection.


With late summer and autumn’s lower temperatures comes more condensation, increasing the likelihood of damp gear inside and outside your tent. Like the rest of our Summer Light, Autumn Fast Collection, this jacket is ‘Autumnised’, built to repel damp and drizzle. At the same time it’s incredibly light, helping you travel fast.

With a combination of Primaloft Gold® insulation, water-resistant Ultrashell, and our super lightweight 7X fabric, light zips, and a simple design, this synthetic-filled jacket is the right piece of kit when it's going to be cold and damp.

At just 275g (medium size) the ultra-light Gamma Jacket is a superb layer for long distance trekking, backpacking, and racing. The combination of total wind-proofness and synthetic insulation makes for a versatile jacket or mid-layer.

It is cut long in body to reduce cold air ingress around the lower back, and the long sleeve length offers superb protection during activities, like bike rides, where your arms are extended. 

Zipped hand-warmer pockets at the waist provide a superb refuge for chilled hands and the optional hood provides superb warmth and wind-block.

As with all our Gamma gear, this jacket uses high performance 60g Primaloft Gold synthetic insulation, edge-stitched for maximum loft and therefore maximum warmth.

In our experience the 60gsm Primaloft Gold® synthetic insulation absorbs water much more slowly than other synthetic waddings, a marked advantage in cold, wet conditions.

Only available August and September.

Ultralight 7X fabric (weight: 22 gsm)

7X is our new sheer-light 7 denier fabric. An exquisitely fine rip-stop nylon, 7X is incredibly light, highly wind-resistant and has first-rate down proofing. This fabric helps us create the very lightest of gear in the PHD range. Of course the lighter the fabric the lighter the sleeping bag or down clothing, and the less space it takes up in your rucksack. This fabric is so light it actually helps to allow even greater lofting of the down too.

Ultrashell (weight: 40 gsm)

One of the lightest of PHD's coated materials. This ripstop nylon provides complete wind block and good water resistance at minimal weight. Ultrashell gives an excellent upgrade to performance with very little weight penalty.

Primaloft Gold®

Primaloft Gold® is the ideal microfibre insulation. Ultrafine fibres produce an insulating core that is incredibly soft, lightweight and water resistant. In our experience it absorbs water much more slowly than other waddings, a marked advantage in wet-cold conditions.

The nearest of the synthetics to the feel of down, yet tougher than you would expect. Primaloft Gold® offers the best warmth/weight performance in the Primaloft range
