The Acclimate Hood is the lightest, warmest, and most packable hybrid insulation hood on the market. Designed for the technical hunter, it delivers the insulating power of a full technical layering system without the bulk. With an extraordinary warmth-to-weight ratio, it offers unmatched versatility and multi-season performance, making it an essential piece for autumn and winter hunts where warmth, packability, and reliability matter most.
KEY FEATURES
Right off the bat, the quality and feel of this jacket is top notch (as always from HE), I've not tested it a lot yet but from the looks, it'll serve well.
A few things to note from my brief time with the jacket:
1) This is NOT an ideal top layer if you're busting brush or making your way through rougher terrain, the outer fabric is soft and pleasant to touch but doesn't feel strong enough to withstand abuse, maybe used as an insulating Midlayer instead.
2) The fit is a little smaller than other HE jackets I have, almost as if to facilitate it's use as a Midlayer.
3) Aside from a very nice inner fabric and the insulating qualities, this is a barebones jacket built for purpose without many bells and whistles.
Given 4 stars due to these facts but this is still an amazing quality jacket, just know what to expect.
Thanks for the review! We're happy to hear you’re impressed with the quality and feel of the jacket.
You’re right that this isn’t built as a tough outer shell for bashing through the bush. It’s designed for open country and alpine hunts where keeping weight and bulk down is key, making it an ideal insulating mid-layer. The fit is a little slimmer than some of our other jackets, which is intentional to ensure it works seamlessly in a layering system. The design is purpose-built with a focus on high-performance materials over extra features.
We really appreciate the detailed feedback, hope the jacket serves you well in the field!

Acclimate uses recycled 95gsm Primaloft® Evolve insulation to regulate body temp: traps warmth when at rest, and cools when on the move.
Packs small, weighs nothing and insulates like a boss. Highly versatile with multi-season performance.
Fits between base & outer layers. Wear one Acclimate piece over your base layer when the weather is stilll warm, layer another when it gets colder. Add an extra insulation layer when really icy–and always carry out layer rainwear.
The combination of Primaloft® Evolve inner lofting and HYDRAFUSE™ TECHLITE™ 20D ripstop outer technology make it toasty warm, water and wind-resistant. The best of all worlds in one two-piece system.
