Zip Up Once And The Cold Stops Mattering
The wind hits your face and you don't flinch.
One pull of the zipper and your head, neck and face are covered — no beanie, no scarf, nothing slipping out of place.
The balaclava hood is built right into the collar.
Zip it up when the street turns raw.
Unzip it and it's a clean, boxy jacket again.
Hits 26.5 inches at size S — it stops at the hip, not the thigh
✓ One zip replaces hat and scarf
The hood pulls up and zips over your head and face in a single motion. Nothing to carry, nothing to lose halfway through winter.
✓ Never look bundled and shapeless again
Dropped shoulders and a boxy cut keep the lines clean instead of puffy. You look put together, not padded.
✓ The hood holds its shape, not limp
Smooth, durable polyester with enough body to keep the hood standing when it's up. It doesn't collapse around your ears.
✓ Wears two ways, so it works every day
Zipped high for the cold walk. Collar down for coffee and errands. One jacket, two looks.

Frequently asked questions
Can you breathe and see with the hood fully zipped?
Yes. The zip stops below the eyes, leaving your sight line open, and the fabric sits away from your mouth rather than pressed against it. Most people leave it fully zipped only for the coldest stretch of a walk.
Does the collar look strange when the hood is down?
No. The hood folds flat into the collar and reads as a normal stand-up neckline. Nobody can tell there's a balaclava in there until you pull it up.
Is this warm enough on its own in deep winter?
It blocks wind well and covers far more of you than a regular jacket. For very low temperatures, wear a sweater or fleece underneath — the boxy cut leaves room for a layer without straining.
Will it fit me if I'm between sizes?
The cut is oversized, so go with the smaller of the two sizes. Check the length column on the size chart to see where the hem lands on you.
How to use
-
Step 1: Zip the jacket up to the top of the chest as you would any hoodie.
-
Step 2: Pull the hood up over your head and settle the collar around your neck.
-
Step 3: Keep pulling the zipper upward — the balaclava panel closes across your face and stops below the eyes. Takes about 5 seconds.
-
Step 4: To open it back up, unzip to chest level and let the hood drop. The panel folds flat into the collar on its own.
