Description:  AYCE's new Maxima Jacket: lots of loft, smart features, super detailed instructions* and a great pattern.
  • 0.6" to 1.2" of water resistant loft
    Commercial cold weather jackets usually have a single layer of 0.4" insulation, disguised in the specs as "1.8oz/60g". That's fine for fair weather hiking, but when you're staring a prolonged stretch of 30 degree rain in the face, less than half an inch of loft doesn't cut it. AYCE's Maxima lets you customize the loft from 0.6" to 1.2".

  • Smart Features
    Without compromising on weight, we've got the features that keep the cold at bay: fully baffled draft tube stiffened with a Dacron™ No-Snag strip, SnowStopper™ Shock Cord Waist, and Insulated Cuffs, Collar, & Pockets.

  • Fit Options
    Every pattern includes both Athletic and Relaxed Fit options to help you get the fit that's right for your body and hiking style.

  • Thru-Hiker Kits - Designed for Success
    Customers agree: "The thought you've put into making the kits easy for beginners is appreciated, and infinitely more noticeable now that I've tried somebody else's pattern".
