Your great-great grandfather lived off grid. Your children’s children will live off grid. So the question is, could you? If you had to start from scratch, build a house, generate your own energy, plant crops, find your own water, and raise a chicken or two?

Like all our Off Grid gear, the Off Grid Fleece Jacket focuses on toughness, comfort and utility to help you survive off the land, and it’s built with materials and techniques that were around long before the grid existed.

It starts with wool that’s compressed and strengthened in boiling water – a technique that’s been used for centuries to make clothing for brutal Siberian and Alpine winters. A soft, bonded lining turns it into a two-layered jacket that’s insulating, wind resistant, breathable and hard-wearing. And giant front pockets, which are big enough to replace a backpack, transform it into a wearable shelter that can take on the coldest, harshest weather.
