Description

Remlite’s Ptarmigan 850 Ultra Down Jacket by SKRE delivers exceptional warmth without weight; premium ultralight late-season insulation built for New Zealand hunters.

The Ptarmigan 850 Ultra Down Jacket by SKRE was designed around a simple but vital principle: maintaining warmth without carrying excess weight. Built for late-season hunts in New Zealand’s unforgiving conditions, this premium down jacket ensures hunters stay insulated, mobile, and ready when temperatures drop sharply in alpine valleys, windswept ridges, or frosty bush clearings.

At just 454 g (16 oz), the Ptarmigan reflects our Remlite ethos of ultralight performance. Using 850+ fill power premium water-repellent goose down, it delivers unmatched warmth while remaining compressible and easy to carry. Packed into its compact stuff sack, the jacket takes up minimal space in a pack, making it an indispensable addition to a serious layering system.

Because durability is just as important as insulation, the jacket’s 100% nylon exterior features an anti-tear finish. This rugged shell resists abrasion while remaining lightweight and flexible. Teflon Shield+ DWR adds water repellency, ensuring that light rain or snow is shed easily, while YKK #3 zippers provide smooth and reliable performance even in cold conditions.

The Ptarmigan 850 Ultra Down Jacket by SKRE is also designed with practical features to maximise comfort and functionality in the field. An anatomical shape supports natural movement, while interior elastic sleeve cuffs trap heat. Adjustable cord locks on the waist and hood allow hunters to seal out cold air and customise the fit. Glove-friendly zipper pull tabs ensure ease of use in frigid weather, preventing unnecessary exposure to cold hands.

Because New Zealand hunting often demands long, cold hours of glassing or waiting in the elements, this jacket was engineered to perform as an outer or mid-layer. It excels as a late-season insulation piece in the Extreme Layering Kit, working seamlessly with other SKRE gear to maintain warmth without compromising mobility.

At Remlite, we only stock products that have been proven in real-world backcountry hunts. The Ptarmigan 850 Ultra Down Jacket by SKRE delivers the warmth, resilience, and ultralight functionality hunters need to thrive in late-season conditions, ensuring confidence no matter how low the temperature drops.
