Reviews
"Fantastic heat to weight ratio plus, the price is exceptional.
More folks should get one."
"I have had a stock Torrid jacket since November 2021 that has served me well backpacking, backcountry skiing, mult-day river trips, and truck camping. It's seen a lot of weather as well as high elevation sun but is still hanging in there."
"Nice and warm. Love the pockets and hood. Packs down small. Nice loft for using in a stuff sack pillow." -
what we think
The Enlightened Equipment Torrid Apex Insulated Jacket has been a trusted companion for the Valley and Peak team on many long-distance hikes and wild camping trips. Offering solid three-season warmth, it provides reliable insulation in damp conditions, thanks to the Apex synthetic insulation, making it ideal for unpredictable weather on the trail.
Its lightweight and compressible design make it easy to pack, and the versatile fit allows it to be worn as a mid-layer or outer jacket, depending on the conditions. The adjustable hood, elastic cuffs, and tailored fit trap warmth and block out cold, ensuring comfort during both active and rest periods.
It’s worth noting that the Torrid Apex runs half a size up, which is perfect for layering over other clothing in colder conditions. The sleek, modern design ensures it doesn't look out of place in urban settings, making it a great choice for both outdoor adventures and everyday wear.
While not as warm as down in extreme cold, the Torrid Apex excels in three-season conditions, offering a great balance of warmth, practicality, and style. -
