The Hoback jacket includes a Cirrus nylon taffeta lining that's both down and synthetic-insulation proof. The lining maintains a soft touch and adds almost no extra weight. The jacket's Gore-Tex Pro Shell 2L shell, meanwhile, offers a highly durable two-layer construction with a 100-percent taffeta nylon face. The nylon face is distinguished by a waterproof, breathable Gore-Tex PTFE membrane backing that's extremely breathable, lightweight, and abrasion-resistant, creating exceptional protection in extended and extreme conditions.
The jacket's fill is a patented microfiber synthetic down called Primaloft One. The finest in synthetic insulation, Primaloft One is as warm and soft as down, is water-resistant, and is highly compressible. The insulation retains more than 85 percent of its warmth when wet and dries quickly. Primaloft One's thermal resistance (R-value) is the highest in the industry.
About Cloudveil
Cloudveil took shape in the minds of Stephen Sullivan and Brian Cousins sometime during the winter of 1994, as the pair worked as outdoor retail store managers/buyers at Skinny Skis in Jackson, Wyoming. After working, skiing, and climbing together for two years, they came to realize that they had more in common than just a shared passion for alpine pursuits. Both shared a profound belief that there was room in the mountain apparel market for a focused, performance-oriented product offering that would dare to think "outside the box" when it came to functional design, fabrication, and innovation. Living in the alpine, climbing, and backcountry skiing playground of Jackson Hole, they decided that there was no better place to base the business. Research and development existed right out the back door, and with the advent of modern technology, where was no need to pack up and move.
The duo officially launched Cloudveil in the fall of 1997, introducing eight products at their first Outdoor Retailer show in Salt Lake City, including the now signature Serendipity jacket. In fact, most of the original products are still in the collection today. Cloudveil has since grown dramatically and now spans a wide variety of product types, including fall/winter and spring/summer apparel for men, women, and children. Cousins and Sullivan's discovery and extensive use of Schoeller stretch-woven fabrics from Switzerland help usher in a new era of outdoor clothing--the soft shell--for the true mountain athlete. Cloudveil announced a complete line of fly fishing apparel and accessories in 2006, with more than 140 fly-fishing specialty retailers carrying the line. Cloudveil apparel is now sold in more than 450 outdoor specialty stores in the U.S., as well as specialty accounts in Japan, Taiwan, Canada, and Australia. Cloudveil also sells direct to a growing customer base through its catalogs, website, and retail store.
