Reviews
"I have been wearing a Torrid Jacket for more than a year now. I live in the mountains and do a lot of layering. This is my go-to puffer as it is roomy (I"m 5'8', 155 lbs and bought a size L) probably could have done a medium but it's so lightweight to begin with that it feels great."
"First of all, it is super warm. I really appreciated that when I needed to wear it and all the rest of my gear on a couple freezing cold nights on the JMT in Sept. It is light, squishes small." -
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. -
