The 2117 of Sweden Jacks is a women's outdoor shell jacket crafted from partly recycled 2.5-layer fabric, combining genuine eco-consciousness with uncompromising performance. Engineered for unpredictable weather, it keeps you protected, comfortable, and free to move – whether you're hiking, trail running, or facing a sudden downpour. The Jacks is the jacket that proves sustainability and high functionality are not mutually exclusive.
Designed to stand up to the harshest outdoor conditions, the Jacks features fully taped seams and a windproof construction that block out the elements from every angle. With a waterproof rating of 15,000 mm and breathability of 15,000 g/m²/24h, you stay dry from the outside and comfortable from the inside, even during intense physical activity. Laser-cut underarm ventilation holes and a stretch-woven fabric ensure efficient temperature regulation and complete freedom of movement throughout your adventure.
Finished with an eco-friendly PFC-free Durable Water Repellent (DWR) treatment, the Jacks jacket is as kind to the planet as it is to your performance. Practical zipped side pockets, an integrated hood, Velcro-adjustable cuffs, and an adjustable hem complete this versatile, sustainable shell jacket built for real outdoor use.
The Jacks jacket is built on a genuine 2.5-layer architecture: an outer face fabric, a bonded waterproof-breathable membrane, and a partial inner print that replaces a traditional full lining. This construction dramatically reduces weight and pack size compared to 3-layer alternatives, while maintaining a high level of weather protection. The face fabric incorporates ripstop reinforcement, which distributes stress across the weave to resist tearing even under trail-side snags or heavy backpack straps. The result is a slim, packable shell that performs like a technical jacket without the bulk.
At the heart of the Jacks is a 15K/15K membrane that delivers a waterproof rating of 15,000 mm water column and a breathability rating of 15,000 g/m²/24h. The 15,000 mm water column means the jacket withstands sustained, heavy rainfall without letting moisture through – well beyond what most active-outdoor situations demand. The matching 15,000 g/m²/24h breathability rating ensures that sweat vapour escapes efficiently, preventing the clammy build-up of moisture inside the jacket during high-output activities such as hill walking, trail running, or ski touring. Every seam is fully taped internally, eliminating the stitching holes that would otherwise allow water ingress at stress points.
When activity levels spike and body temperature rises, the laser-cut ventilation holes positioned in the underarm panels provide a direct pathway for hot air to escape. Unlike zip-operated pit vents, these laser-cut perforations are always active – there is nothing to open or close, so ventilation happens automatically and continuously. The precision of the laser-cutting process ensures clean edges with no fraying, maintaining long-term integrity even after repeated washing. Combined with the stretch fabric, the underarm vents make the Jacks jacket equally comfortable during fast-paced ascents and rest-stop breaks.
The 2.5-layer fabric used in the Jacks incorporates stretch fibres throughout the construction, allowing the jacket to move with your body rather than against it. Whether you're reaching overhead to clip a belay device, swinging trekking poles, or hunching over a pack – the stretch fabric adapts to every position without pulling or riding up. This is particularly valuable for active women who need a technical jacket that performs as dynamically as they do. The stretch construction also contributes to a flattering, athletic fit that works both on the trail and in everyday outdoor life.
The outer face fabric of the Jacks is treated with a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish that causes water to bead up and roll off the surface rather than soaking into the fabric. Critically, this DWR treatment is entirely PFC-free – free from per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are persistent environmental pollutants found in many traditional DWR coatings. By choosing a PFC-free treatment, 2117 of Sweden ensures that the jacket's water-repellent performance comes without a long-term environmental cost. The DWR layer works in tandem with the underlying membrane to maximise waterproofing and help the jacket shed water even as the membrane manages breathability from the inside.
The shell fabric is made from 100% polyester, of which 30% is sourced from recycled material. Using recycled polyester reduces dependence on virgin petroleum-derived fibres, cutting down CO₂ emissions and diverting plastic waste from landfill. 2117 of Sweden has built this commitment to responsible sourcing into the Jacks without any performance trade-off – the recycled content is fully integrated into the 2.5-layer construction and treated to the same technical standards as conventional polyester. For outdoor enthusiasts who care about the long-term health of the environments they explore, the Jacks represents a meaningful step towards more sustainable outdoor gear.
