Side Country Womens Insulated Jacket

XTM Side Country Women's Insulated Jacket pairs an insulated body with stretch sleeves and side panels. The body is a nylon ripstop with a durable water-repellent coating and 120 g/m² of insulation, while the sleeves and side panels are a brushed 240 g/m² polyester stretch fabric. The inside is lined with soft, itch-free brushed fabric, the seams are flatlocked, and a full-length centre-front zip runs top to bottom. It weighs around 450 g.

Who it's for

Women who keep moving in the cold: a brisk morning walk around Lake Burley Griffin, a winter ride along the Yarra trails, a frosty start on the Six Foot Track, or a coffee run on a crisp Blue Mountains morning. It is an active jacket for cold days, and a low-bulk layering piece that can go under a shell when the weather turns.

Fit and layering

A fitted cut, snug to the body, designed as a low-bulk layering piece. Back length is 67 cm on a size 10, and XTM's model is 175 cm tall and wears a size 10. XTM's photos show thumb loops at the cuffs. Size by body chest measurement:

• 8: 81–85 cm
• 12: 91–96 cm
• 14: 97–103 cm
• 16: 104–110 cm
• 18: 111–121 cm

Because the fit is snug, we'd go up a size if you want to layer a fleece underneath.
