Grizzly Fleece Jacket

Zoological notice: no real grizzlies included.

Why this jacket is named after a bear that isn't here…

Fair warning: there are no grizzlies roaming Lapland, only ordinary brown bears. But “BROWN BEAR Jacket” sounded like a zoo brochure, not the wild – the facts lost to the better name in a very short meeting. What was left was the actual job: finding a fabric that feels like a warm hug, minus the awkward moment afterwards. The result is called GRIZZLY.

The GRIZZLY's your best mate when…

You admit a good name matters more to you than the zoologically correct bear species.
You want to feel like your favourite sofa – just wilderness-ready on top of that.
You don't want to freeze under your hardshell, but you don't want to stew in your own juices either.

Warm as a bear's coat, soft as a second skin.

Highloft fleece sounds like marketing blah-blah, but it's really just properly good heat retention in a deep-pile fabric. Worn solo, it easily keeps cool spring and autumn evenings at bay. When it gets colder, the GRIZZLY slips under your hardshell and does the job of three thin layers.

Your personal air conditioning at the underarm.

Working up a sweat and then sitting clammy in your own jacket for hours – a genuine trauma. The underarm vents solve the problem before it even becomes one. Zip open, heat out, carry on, no big deal.

The chest pocket that forgives your phone too.

So your phone doesn't bounce around with every step, the reinforced chest pocket sits right up front, within easy reach. Cuffs and collar are just as tough: exactly where pack straps and branches cause the most wear, the GRIZZLY simply grew a thicker coat.

Why we didn't call this the “Brown Bear Project”…

We didn't want a jacket that can only do one job. The GRIZZLY looks good solo in spring and autumn AND takes a proper beating as a midlayer under your hardshell in winter. Built for anyone who moves in muted colours – bushcraft, stand hunting, or round the campfire.
