TRAIL MAGAZINE: Review

"This is extraordinary,' said judge Chris Townsend, after testing this jacket in the Cairngorms. “It weighs only 115g and is as warm as a heavyweight fleece, as long as you wear a shell over it in wind. It's so breathable that just walking about in still air you lose heat. My only concern is over long-term durability, but on initial testing this is very impressive.” The OMM Core Hoodie is made entirely from a PrimaLoft synthetic plume sewn onto a single- layer fabric mesh known as PrimaLoft Active insulation. Traditionally plume insulation is found loose between two outer layers. Here, however, the loose plume is knitted onto a single-layer mesh, creating an insulting hoodie that offers the warmth of a fleece but at less than half the weight.
