ITHAX GILET
The Ithax Gilet is a lightweight, packable, gilet filled with 100% recycled, Primaloft® synthetic insulation. A versatile, all-rounder of an insulated layer to be carried everywhere from alpine faces to remote places.
Constructed from our own proprietary, ripstop outer filled with Silver Insulation Thermoplume® Cross Core™, the Ithax Gilet is designed to provide maximum insulation at a low carry weight. We’ve carefully created a light, recycled nylon, ripstop outer and treated this with a PFC free Durable Water Repellent for added weather resistance.
Primaloft® Silver insulation has been chosen specifically owing to its higher warmth to weight ratio than most synthetic alternatives. This has enabled us to create a lightweight, insulated gilet that will retain insulation better and dry more quickly in wet weather compared to traditional down fill layers.
Design features have intentionally been minimised in order to maximise packability and functionality. Ergonomic baffles are constructed to enable improved range of movement whilst maximising heat retention. The Ithax Gilet features two hand pockets and an internal zipped pocket for stowage of expedition essentials.
As always, industry leading YKK zips have been used with oversized insignia zip pulls for easy accessibility when wearing gloves. A waist drawstring has been added to enable cinching of the gilet in order to retain heat. An embroidered insignia on the reverse of the gilet adds to the minimal feel of the Ithax, the true staple of a year-round expedition kit list.

Maximum Insulation At A Low Carry Weight
Aerogel Temperature Barrier
Primaloft® Silver Insulation Thermoplume® Cross Core™
PrimaLoft’s® Cross Core™ series utilises Aerogel for increased thermal performance. Originally developed by NASA for aeronautical use, silica aerogel is composed of more than 95% air and is the lightest solid material on the planet making it one of the most effective insulating materials available for use. This aerogel is then moulded by PrimaLoft® into fibres that help insulate but at a low weight, ideal for use in high performance clothing.
“Blending each individual fibre of the small, silky plumes with aerogel technology, this insulation delivers the aesthetic and performance of natural down with up to 12% more warmth compared to previous ThermoPlume® insulations. This loose-fill insulation has excellent compressibility for long-lasting durability and a water-repellent finish to ensure wet weather protection.”
