The Gramicci Ultra-Light Packable Jacket in Iris provides a lightweight and water-repellent nylon barrier that is designed for high-visibility and easy transport. This technical shell features a 1/4 zip construction and can be packed down into its own pocket, making it perfect for those who need to save space without sacrificing weather protection. It is a highly adaptable layer for hiking or urban exploration, offering a quick-drying and breathable solution for sudden changes in the weather.

Key Features

• Crafted from a featherweight 100% nylon fabric that offers wind resistance and water-repellency while remaining virtually weightless
• Engineered to compress down into its own pocket, making it a space-saving "no-brainer" to keep in your backpack or bike bag
• Features a deep front zipper that allows for rapid ventilation and easy removal over mid-layers or t-shirts
• Equipped with a zippered pocket to keep your essentials safe and to act as the integrated stuff-sack for the jacket itself
• Designed with fitted cuffs and a structured hem to help seal out drafts and maintain a streamlined profile

At Urban Industry we recommend / Ideal For

• The breathable, light nature of the fabric makes this a primary choice for trail running or uphill hiking where moisture management is key
• Ideal for riders who need a wind-blocking layer that can be easily stowed away once they reach their destination
• Perfect for environments where space is at a premium and you need a reliable barrier against sudden showers
• Works exceptionally well as a top layer over a moisture-wicking base layer, taking the edge off the weather without causing overheating

Our Style, Fit & Sizing Recommendations

• This jacket is cut to sit comfortably over a t-shirt or light sweatshirt while maintaining a close enough fit to prevent flapping in the wind
• We recommend staying true to your usual size for a functional, active fit
• The 1/4 zip construction and lightweight fabric ensure maximum freedom of movement for the arms and torso

Washing & Care Instructions

• To protect the water-repellent coating and the nylon fibres, wash at 30°C on a gentle cycle
• Do not tumble dry. The high heat can damage the synthetic nylon and any internal seam taping. Hang dry naturally; it will dry very quickly due to the lightweight knit
• High heat from an iron will melt the nylon fabric. If the jacket is wrinkled after being packed away, simply hang it up or wear it, and the creases will naturally fall out

Gramicci Ultra-Light Packable Jacket - Our FAQs

1. Is this jacket completely waterproof?
   This jacket is water-repellent, meaning it will bead off light rain and showers. It is designed for "taking the edge off" the weather and being ultra-breathable, rather than for prolonged use in heavy downpours.

2. How small does it actually pack down?
   Once packed into its side zip pocket, the jacket is roughly the size of a large orange, making it easy to fit into a jacket pocket, a small hip pack, or a bike bottle cage.

3. Can I wear this for high-intensity running without getting too sweaty?
   Absolutely. Unlike heavy multi-layer raincoats, this ultra-light nylon is designed for high-output activity. The 1/4 zip placket allows you to dump heat quickly, and the "featherweight" nature of the fabric ensures it doesn't trap excessive body heat.

4. Will it keep me warm?
   On its own, it is a shell designed to block wind and light rain. It doesn't have thermal insulation, but by blocking wind chill, it significantly helps maintain your body temperature during active use.
