The Bakosi G2 Hooded Hybrid Jacket by BLACKYAK stands out as high-performing outdoor gear for a wide range of outdoor activities. An all-season jacket with lots of details.

Thoughtful innovation

Designed for all seasons and alpine pursuits, BLACKYAK's Bakosi G2 Hooded Hybrid Jacket stands as a thoughtful innovation. Crafted from premium, durable components, including abrasion-resistant Cordura Ripstop, this jacket is built to withstand the toughest challenges while moving outdoors. Its certified water-repellent goose down on the chest and upper arms provides superior insulation, ensuring you stay warm in the coldest conditions. Meanwhile, the warm G-Loft fill in the abdomen and underarms retains its shape and warmth, even when wet, making this jacket a reliable choice in various conditions. But it's not just about withstanding the elements; the Bakosi G2 Hooded Hybrid Jacket prioritizes user comfort without compromising on performance. Mesh chest pockets allow for easy storage of essentials, such as gloves or sunglasses, making it easy to keep your small items close at hand. The hood fits under your helmet. The high collar is padded with down and fleece at the chin for added comfort.

One innovative element of this jacket is the use of Yak Merino Skin on the stretchable back element. This unique feature optimizes temperature regulation and minimizes sweating when carrying a backpack, ensuring you stay dry and comfortable during your adventures. This jacket is truly designed for all seasons and a wide range of alpine activities. From winter ski touring to summer mountaineering and off-season expeditions, it seamlessly adapts to enhance your performance, offering unmatched warmth and durability.
