The UL Thermawrap is an outstanding example of a synthetic jacket that balances lightweight and warmth. This comfortable, packable hooded jacket is super versatile and a favourite for UK conditions.

Montbell says

The UL Thermawrap Parka is our cool weather middle layer that excels in mixed conditions. We have retooled this classic ultralight garment with an updated fit, strategically placed stretch fabric and 40 gram stretch Insulation Type. These refinements helped us produce a more fluid, comfortable hoody that layers effectively within your quiver of climbing apparel. During fabric selection we sought slightly more permeable weaves in an effort to better balance sweater weight warmth with perceived breathability. We believe the accumulation of these marginal gains in performance have allowed us to create a garment with an extended range of comfort and a wider definition of use. Light in weight, quick to dry and the epitome of versatility, the UL Thermawrap Parka really satisfies with all day comfort.

Our Verdict

Montbell’s U.L Thermawrap Insulated Parka is an ideal jacket for changeable conditions where down might not be worth the gamble. Filled with Insulation Type in the form of Stretch Exceloft, this hooded jacket balances lightweight materials with comfortable and practical design. This insulation works really well, providing added stretch whilst also keeping you surprisingly warm for the weight and still managing a really good packsize when it’s not in use.

The inner and outer fabrics are soft and comfortable, feeling much nicer against the skin compared to many other insulated jackets. Practical features such as two handwarmer and one chest pocket along with an adjustable hem and simple volume adjustment on the hood make the jacket enjoyable to wear. Whether you’re trying to keep out the cold around camp, throwing it on during breaks to having for casual, everyday use this is just a really nice piece of kit.
