Kanyo [Womens]

Fully windproof and packing into its own pocket, the Kanyo punches well above its weight on breezy autumn belays, spring summit stops and chilly summer evenings around the tent.

• 100% recycled fabric and 100% recycled insulation
• Excellent warmth to weight ratio and fully windproof
• Easy to pack down, fitting into its own chest pocket

When space is limited and the weather forecast’s about as effective as the Ben Nevis Forecasting Stone, it’s hard to know what layers to pack. Versatile in a range of conditions and packing an astonishing amount of warmth for its weight and pack-size, the Kanyo is a jacket you’ll never regret taking.

Recycled Primaloft Silver insulation stops you getting chilly and is much more compressible than fleece, allowing the jacket to pack away into its own chest pocket (complete with hang loop for clipping to climbing harnesses).

The outer fabric and soft inner liner are made from a tough, ultralight recycled nylon fabric. The dense weave of the fabric forms a fully windproof sandwich around the insulation (inedible though), trapping vital body heat when you stop moving or the wind picks up.

As well as being a versatile outer jacket, the hood-less and low-profile design means the Kanyo can double up as an extra-warm mid-layer in colder temperatures, its quilted 60gsm insulation fitting neatly under outer shells.

Primaloft Silver doesn’t absorb water, retaining most of its insulating abilities when wet. This, combined with a fast-drying and PFC-free water-repellent treated outer fabric, makes the Kanyo well-suited for damp conditions.

Designer's Notes

“With PFC-free DWRs and 100% recycled fabric and fill, the Kanyo is our most sustainable jacket yet. We could have used (readily available) recycled polyester for the inner and outer fabrics, but we worked really hard to find a recycled nylon that would make the jacket last longer and further add to its sustainable design.” Ronnie – Design Manager
