Mountain And Cold Weather Operations Jacket When the environment becomes the enemy, your insulation layer is your last line of defence. The MACWO V2 is the result of uncompromising research and field-driven development — a garment that redefines what lightweight warmth looks like at the operational level. ✕ The Cold Weather Trade-Off Cold weather kit has always forced a choice: warm enough, or light enough. Bulk slows you down. Weight burns energy you'll want later. And warmth you leave behind because it wouldn't fit in the pack keeps nobody alive. The MACWO refuses the trade-off — 670 grams of NASA-grade insulation that disappears into a day pack. ◆ NASA-Grade Aerogel Core The MACWO V2's primary insulation is 100gsm Primaloft Gold Cross Core Ultra with Aerogel — a technology originally developed by NASA for aeronautical applications. Silica aerogel is composed of more than 95% air, making it the lightest solid material known to man and one of the most thermally efficient insulators ever engineered. Supreme warmth. Negligible weight. No compromise. ◈ Heat In. Wind Out. A custom 20D Nylon IR Thermal Reflective Lining forms a windproof secondary barrier that captures and redirects radiated body heat — working in concert with the aerogel layer to seal out cold at every level. ◈ Purpose-Built Shell Multicam Genuine Crye Multicam 40D Quantum Ripstop with DWR — the gold standard of operational camouflage, built to endure. AU Terrain Custom 70D Ripstop Nanostealth with C6 DWR — engineered for extreme water repellency in the most demanding conditions. ▸ Field-Proven Features ◉ Advanced 3-Way Hood System Fully contoured for maximum situational awareness, with a stowaway collar pocket when not in use. ⚙ YKK Hardware Throughout Vislon no.5 full-length centre zip, reversed hand and shoulder pocket zips, and no.3 internal zips. Hardware that won't fail when it matters most. ✦ Sealed Wrist Cuffs Adjustable elasticised cuffs with contoured Velcro closure to lock out the cold at the source. ◈ Brushed Tricot Hand Pockets Belt-order positioned for access under load, lined for comfort in extreme cold. ▣ Internal Storage System Two zippered mesh pockets on the left, plus a large elastic dump pocket on the right for gloves, beanie, and immediate-access gear. ⟳ Shock Cord Hem Twin adjustable elastic shock cords for a secure, tailored fit in any condition. ◆ Pillow Pocket System The entire jacket inverts into its own stash pocket — becoming a soft-lined pillow or an ultracompact carry bag in seconds. Every gram in the field should earn its place twice. Insulation by day, pillow at the harbour — the MACWO doesn't ride in your pack as dead weight, ever. ◉ Pack Light. Move Fast. Stay Warm.
