Slumberjack’s Incog Down Jacket does many things well. Water resistance, weight, loft, and design are all excellent. I live in the Great Northwest. With the unpredictable weather here, this jacket is a year-round necessity. Even in the summer, you need a jacket for the pre-dawn chill. This is a perfect three season softshell outer or winter intermediate layer for any outdoor activity.
Slumberjack is famous for their sleeping bags. When I heard that Slumberjack was making clothing, I expected high quality and great design and I was not disappointed. The Incog puffy jacket’s hi-loft fill is comparable to Slumberjack’s sleeping bag products. Drawstrings at the waist seal out cold air leaving the jacket loose-fitting without bulk.
The outer cover is made of water-resistant 400T down-proof rip-stop “Quiet-touch” brushed fabrics which reduces noise. The 600 Fill power Dri-down insulation is light, warm PRO insulation is used in the shoulders and collar improves weather resistance and durability while wearing a pack. Features include a micro-fiber collar and chin guard for comfort and inside the pocket hidden drawstrings for a perfect fit.
The compression of the material provides great pack-ability. The Incog fits into its own left pocket for easy storage and is soft enough to use as a pillow. The cut of the jacket is ample for kayaking or climbing, any activity which requires upper body movement.
There is a chest pocket, two hand warming pockets and generous carry pockets inside the jacket. There is no hood, which is perfect for me. It reduces the bulk. I hate the confinement and loss of peripheral vision of hoods.
The Incog comes in the Perception DST (Disruptive Shadow Technology) camouflage pattern. Designed by Vince Mares, a former paratrooper in the Army’s 82nd Airborne, it is inspired by natural foliage shadows and negative spaces. Slumberjack’s Disruptive Shadow Technology blends sharp outlines with blurred, shadow-like shapes effectively disrupting the human form at long range or up close. Creating an illusion through a depth of field and color adaptation, it blends with varied terrain.
