Jackets divide by the problem they solve, not by the season on the label, and this page puts all of them side by side so the comparison is possible. Insulation is one problem: the puffers and parkas carry down at fill powers from the mid six hundreds to 850, or a synthetic fill for days when getting damp is likelier than getting cold. Water is another: the rain jackets and the ski jackets are the ones with tape over the seams, which is the difference between an afternoon in rain and a wet shoulder in twenty minutes. Wind is the third, and it is what the softshells and the windbreakers are for: no insulation at all in the light ones, just a face the wind cannot get through.

Hoods are worth checking before you order. Nearly every jacket here has one, and on several of the parkas it comes off at the collar, which is what turns a hill jacket into a town coat. Pockets run from three on a short puffer to nine on a long parka, and the card names which of them zip. Nothing on this page carries a temperature rating and nothing ever will: what you will be comfortable in depends on the wind and on whether you are moving, and the Weather Service chart is a better guide to that than any number we could print. Sizes run XS to 3XL depending on the piece.

Every colourway here is priced on its own; Pioneer Camp essentials keeps the figures current and the till is what decides.

Questions about Pioneer Camp Jackets

Every jacket we make, on one page

Which Pioneer Camp jacket should you start with?

If you already own a fleece, start with a shell: a taped rain jacket covers the most days in most places and layers over what you have. If you are cold rather than wet, start with a puffer, and take the packable one if it is going to live in a bag. The parkas are the answer when the walk is short and the standing about is long.

Do Pioneer Camp jackets run big or small?

They are cut for a layer underneath, which is the thing to hold in mind. On the shells and the insulated jackets, most buyers land on their usual letter when they wear a shirt under it and one up when a fleece is going in. The mid-layer fleeces are the ones cut close, so those go the other way.

Which Pioneer Camp jackets pack into a bag?

The down and lightweight puffers, and the windbreakers. The card says packable where the piece folds into its own pocket or a sack; a long parka does not, and pretending otherwise would be a way of selling you the wrong coat for a flight.
