What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: “This jacket hits the perfect balance—super warm for its weight, packs small, and handles damp conditions better than pure down. I love the hybrid insulation: the REPREVE fill in key areas keeps performance high even when things get wet. It’s become my go-to for alpine starts and cold-weather layering.” The Millet Evole Light 700 Hooded Jacket brings warmth, performance, and versatility together in one sleek alpine package. Its hybrid insulation design—combining water-repellent K DRY™ 700-fill duck down with REPREVE® recycled synthetic fibers—keeps us warm and dry whether we’re climbing, ski touring, or exploring in the cold. The high-loft down traps heat efficiently in dry conditions, while synthetic fill reinforces areas prone to moisture for consistent warmth where we need it most. Wrapped in a durable yet featherlight TORAY ripstop shell, this jacket resists abrasion and moisture without adding bulk. Thoughtful alpine details—like a helmet-compatible hood, seamless shoulders for backpack comfort, and a compressible build that stuffs neatly into its own pocket—make it a true mountain essential. Elastic bindings at the cuffs and hem seal in warmth, while the PFC-free DWR finish adds eco-conscious protection against light snow or drizzle. Whether worn as a standalone piece or under a shell, the Evole Light 700 delivers dependable warmth and modern mountain functionality.
