Based in Cape Town, South Africa, the Sopris team lives by the motto “Always Be Conquering” (The true ABC’s). Whether it’s raining, snowing, hailing, or insanely windy, their jackets were designed to conquer the elements. Because Sopris jackets are slim fitting and insulated with down feathers to maximise warmth, we truly believe you are not going to find a more comfortable and convenient jacket out there!
The Sopris packable jacket padded with down feathers is the perfect jacket to withstand the elements. Our down-filled products perform like new for a longer period of time, reducing the need for replacement. Thanks to the anti-water absorbing down feather protector treatment, the down and feathers absorb less moisture and dry faster. Get out, explore, live, breathe, and dream in comfort!
Please note: These jackets are fitted, meaning that they are more snug compared to regular sizes. Please keep this in mind when choosing your size.

A surprisingly high number of South Africans seem to get itchy feet around the festive period and instead of sitting back and soaking up the sun on any one of our hundreds of beaches, they venture off in search of cold miserable conditions.
Fair enough. To each their own. We suppose if we possessed enough athletic prowess to ski or snowboard we might see the appeal.
But just because we're staying put doesn't mean we won't try make bucks off your travelling (read: cater to your every need).
Don't make the mistake of thinking "it won't be that cold". It will. And if you're unprepared you're going to be forced into paying twice as much for a jacket half as nice.
We don't want you catching hypothermia while we're catching a tan.
