"My new favorite jacket!!"
This jacket is warm and comfortable. I love it! The soft fabric is quiet too. Perfection.
"Great gear from Kryptek "
As far as I'm concerned, the Vellus jacket and pants are the perfect set for hunting, especially in cold weather. Every pocket seems to be right where I want it, and easy to get my hands in from any position. It's super comfortable, it's durable, it's waterproof, it's nearly silent, and with good base layers it's warm enough for any weather. I've owned a set for 5 or 6 years and I can't really say anything bad about it.
"Best Jacket! "
Actually own 2 of these jackets now. They are hands down my favorite jacket. Holds up to oak brush and catclaw. Works in a wide range of temperatures. Highlander is the best predator calling camo I have ever tested. Also quiet enough for archery deer hunting.
"Warm Comfy Quiet Cozy"
Warmth to weight ratio is amazing! It’s like a cross between a puffy and a soft shell; warmth of a parka with the weight a of a light weight windbreaker. This is my go to when the temps drop from 40 deg to below single digits; just layer accordingly. Waterproof and wind proof.. yes. I wore this in Ohio for 6 hours while it was raining (not drizzle, but rain) and was perfectly dry inside. The exterior fleece was wet, but I was dry on the inside. It’s really warm; recommend not donning the jacket until after you’re in the stand or you’ll overheat. That said, the pit zips really help to expel unwanted heat. Wore this yesterday over a merino base layer in Florida. I had this in my pack a s put it on after sitting in the 50 def morning (those that don’t know, the wet Florida air makes 50 deg feel like 40). There was a slight breeze and I thew this on to buck the wind. The fit is great! I’m 6’1” tall and 240 lbs, and bought the XL. It fits great in the shoulders and the length is perfect with room to layer underneath. The Vellus is also very quiet with the fleece exterior. Overall this is a very well thought piece to my hunting system, and I highly recommend it!! Kryptek hit a home run on this piece!
"Perfect gear"
I have worn this jacket on hunts at 5800ft to 7oooft this winter here in Montana. I have not been cold once. Down to 11° , sitting all day, and never even felt the cold.
"Warmer than expected"
Love the pattern! Wasn’t sure on the thickness of the jacket. Hoped that it would be warm enough for a Michigan tree stand sit... it was! Super pumped to add this to the kryptek arsenal!
"Nothing But Impressive!"
I had my doubts when I first received the jacket, its not a big puffy jacket but I tested it out in Wyoming in November, and hands down it has turned into the most important gear I have. I also have the Vellus pants and they are absolutely amazing. With the jacket and pants combined, you will be extremely comfortable in cold weather. I didn't even need to wear thermals under these. Whenever I need hunting clothing, Kryptek will now be on my number one choice, incredible product!
"Above and Beyond"
So far this season I have worn this jacket in the coldest weather (0 Degrees, -16 wind chill, snow, 25-45mph wind) and the warmest weather (58 degrees, zero wind), and it performed phenomenally. During the coldest weather I wore two thin thermal tops, and during the warmest I just wore a T-shirt with the pit zips open. I am 5'11 and 240lbs, I have an XL. I can fit two thermals and another thin top under, and I can still fit a larger jacket over (winter camo over coat). Also makes zero noise. I will buy again as well as recommend it to anyone I meet.
"Best snow gear i own!"
I absolutely love this jacket I bought it with the pants to match for all my snow mobile riding and snow shoeing for hinting in the Alaskan mountains in the middle of winter. I stay dry and extremely warm. I usually only have to wear a few base layers because the gear insulates me so well. I really love how I can stalk caribou and ptarmigan in this gear I am almost invisible in the Wraith pattern.
