Womens' Essential Belay Jacket

$260.00

Take to the mountains with the Spirit West Essential Belay Jacket, a member of our flagship Essential series of lightweight, packable, ultra-functional layering systems designed to get you out there.

Our Essential Belay Series is designed for the winter super-user, designed for enhanced heat retention and breathability during aerobic activity. Our Essential Belay Jacket comes with a few standard features to bring it to the next level; by doubling the Ramtect® Merino Wool insulation, we’ve increased the capability of the Essential Belay Jacket. You’ll also find that a helmet-compatible hood comes standard on this product. Increased capacity means it can get you out farther, even in the harshest conditions.

We’re proud to feature a combination of ancient and cutting edge technologies in our Essential Jackets. Wool is nature’s supermaterial, and we proudly use Ramtect® Merino Wool to insulate all of our jackets for its superior moisture wicking, breathability, heat retention, and lightweightness.

In almost every technical aspect, wool is able to outperform almost any technical or natural insulator on the market.

Each of our Essential products is craft manufactured in our Calgary facility, specifically for you. Not only can we achieve a perfect fit, but we can add all the bells and whistles to ensure you get your dream jacket.

Want longer sleeves and thumbkeepers? We got you.

Waterproof zipper? Let’s make it happen.

Want pit zips to dump some heat? Let’s throw ‘em in.

These are some of the reasons customers keep coming back for the Essential Belay Jacket.

Earlier this summer I bought a Switchback Jacket. I was in a rush, needed a jacket, it fit so I bought it. This is a purchase I don't regret. It's kept me dry and comfortable all summer long. Great price,great value. Thanks Spirit West!

I went on a kayak trip in early September, 2022 and needed to upgrade some of my gear. I replaced my old rain gear with custom fit Spirit West SwitchBack jacket and pants. The fabric seems to be very similar to my Arcteryx coat but it's much quieter. The hood worked perfectly and was stiff enough that I didn't need a baseball cap. We had a several days of wind and rain and the coat and pants worked flawlessly. It's so comfortable that I'll be able to wear it around town too.
