Not all gear is created the same. With different technical strengths, materials, intended uses and seasons, treatments and features, finding the gear that suits your needs can be confusing.

Here’s a simplified comparison to help you pick the best gear to GET OUTSIDE.

INSULATED JACKET

Maximising comfort and insulation from extreme weather, Spika’s insulated jackets are specifically crafted to preserve body heat in extremely cold conditions. Armed for performance in the field with baffled wind-proofing and water resistance, an insulated jacket is perfect when glassing a cold valley or tackling the snow line. These jackets achieve insulation by effectively capturing heat and creating a layer of air pockets between your outer and middle layers. Both jacket options can be packed down and compressed conserving vital pack space.

SHELL JACKET

Waterproof hard shells are the extreme weather outer layer, providing maximum protection from heavy rain and strong wind. You should select your outer shell jacket based on factors such as your terrain, weather conditions and hunting style. While remaining lightweight and providing water protection, shell layers also help retain body heat. Once a downpour ceases, utilise heat dumping features to regulate your temperature. Packed with technical features, Spika’s range of waterproof jackets will give you ability to extend your hunting trips and endure more challenging conditions.

PERFORMANCE JACKET

Performance outer jackets are the perfect all-season versatile hunting outer layer. Designed with function in mind, performance based jackets can be used for any hunting style and skill level. Breathable, windproof and water resistant protection complete a comfortable all-season garment worn over the base layer in warmer weather conditions or over the mid layer as an outer soft shell when the mercury drops.
