A sweet puffy for morning gear ups, high-point breathers, or PBRs in the lot, the Cloudveil men's Enclosure hooded jacket provides universal warmth for almost any application. The Enclosure is equipped with 200 grams of synthetic Primaloft One fill, which insulates to the right temperature even when damp. At the same time, the jacket packs small into a ski pack or gear duffel when touring or traveling, so you can bring it along as an extra layer without weighing down your stuff. And as with the best backcountry jackets, the Enclosure includes a host of breathable, cold-ready features, including a recycled nylon exterior that sheds snow and knit underarm panels with breathable backside mesh materials, which stretch easily during action while dumping excess heat. The jacket's design stems from Cloudveil's understanding that loft is essential to comfort when you're spending time at elevation. Whether you're braving a night in a snow cave, ripping skins on a windy ridge, or just suffering a brutal inversion, jackets and vests packed with natural or synthetic fill serve as cold weather saviors. The Primaloft One fill is ideal because it's extremely light and highly compressible.

About Cloudveil Cloudveil took shape in the minds of Stephen Sullivan and Brian Cousins sometime during the winter of 1994, as the pair worked as outdoor retail store managers/buyers at Skinny Skis in Jackson, Wyoming. After working, skiing, and climbing together for two years, they came to realize that they had more in common than just a shared passion for alpine pursuits. Both shared a profound belief that there was room in the mountain apparel market for a focused, performance-oriented product offering that would dare to think "outside the box" when it came to functional design, fabrication, and innovation. Living in the alpine, climbing, and backcountry skiing playground of Jackson Hole, they decided that there was no better place to base the business. Research and development existed right out the back door, and with the advent of modern technology, where was no need to pack up and move.
The duo officially launched Cloudveil in the fall of 1997, introducing eight products at their first Outdoor Retailer show in Salt Lake City, including the now signature Serendipity jacket. In fact, most of the original products are still in the collection today. Cloudveil has since grown dramatically and now spans a wide variety of product types, including fall/winter and spring/summer apparel for men, women, and children. Cousins and Sullivan's discovery and extensive use of Schoeller stretch-woven fabrics from Switzerland help usher in a new era of outdoor clothing--the soft shell--for the true mountain athlete. Cloudveil announced a complete line of fly fishing apparel and accessories in 2006, with more than 140 fly-fishing specialty retailers carrying the line. Cloudveil apparel is now sold in more than 450 outdoor specialty stores in the U.S., as well as specialty accounts in Japan, Taiwan, Canada, and Australia. Cloudveil also sells direct to a growing customer base through its catalogs, website, and retail store.
