WARMTH WITHOUT BULK

The Pups Akita Insulator Jacket is an extremely versatile piece that can be worn as a stand-alone jacket, layered underneath the hardshell, or zipped-in to the Hardshell to provide additional warmth on cold days. This technical piece is designed to keep active kids warm without causing them to overheat and sweat. The synthetic 3M™ Thinsulate™ insulation is strategically body-mapped with thicker insulation throughout the core (100 grams) and lighter insulation throughout the arms (60 grams). Additionally, synthetic insulation is extremely breathable and low profile for enhanced freedom of movement for active kids. The face fabric of the jacket is treated with a Durable Water Repellency (DWR), but if it should get wet for any reason, the synthetic insulation will continue to retain heat.

ADJUST-A-FIT

We developed our Adjust-A-Fit System to allow kids to get a bigger size initially, shorten the sleeves for a custom fit, and then extend the sleeves incrementally as they grow. When it is time for a hand-me-down the sleeves can be re-shortened. Other brands have sleeves that only extend by ripping a seam, sacrificing waterproofness in a very exposed area (above the wrist), and cannot be re-shortened for hand-me-downs.

why we made it

A quality, everyday, insulated "puffy" jacket for little kids costs $75 or more from other brands and you still need a ski jacket. We designed our insulators to be the perfect year-round lightweight jacket yet also do double-duty as the insulation layer that zips into our winter hardshells.

versatility that saves you money

The Pups Akita Insulator is more than just your kids’ favorite everyday jacket, it can also be zipped into the Pups Hardshell (sold separately) for snow sports. This layering system keeps kids comfortable in a variety of conditions and reduces the number of jackets you need to buy.

3M THINSULATE INSULATION

High warmth-to-thickness ratio retains body heat while maintaining breathability and enhanced freedom of movement.

ZIP-IN COMPATIBLE

The Pups Akita Insulator can be zipped into the Pups Hardshell (sold separetly) on cold winter days to function as one integrated jacket.

2-WAY SLEEVE LENGTH ADJUSTMENT

Rather than sleeves that only extend by ripping a seam and sacrifice waterproofness, our Adjust-A-Fit System allows sleeves to be shortened for a custom fit today, lengthened as kids grow, and then re-shortened for a hand-me-down later.

WATER RESISTANT

A DWR (Durable Water Repellency) finish makes the Insulator water resistant.

Great Quality

My girls have not had the opportunity to wear the liner and coat yet. The coats appear to be made well . I hope they will be warm enough or will need to purchase base layers .

Perfect throughout seasons

Our daughter wears this by itself when the weather is chilly and with the shell during winter. It’s so lightweight and just simple.

Feels like wearing a cloud!

When my daughter first put this jacket on she exclaimed, "It feels like wearing a cloud!" I, too, was amazed at the featherweight lightness of this insulator that lives up to it's name by keeping my daughter warm. I admit I was a little nervous about the white color, but after using it for a season it is still white and seems to have some kind of stain-resistant magic mixed in with all it's other qualities! Along with the water-proof shell, this insulator jacket keeps her warm without adding bulk. It is so amazingly light and flexible that she's able to fully put her focus into learning new tricks on her board without her clothing being in the way. It's also our first choice for a day-hike layer since it is so light and easy to pack, yet warm for whatever temps we may run into at higher elevations.
