We’ve made updates to both the fit and performance of the jacket to improve upon one of our customer’s favorite products. To start, the new Nightwatch 2.0 is made with eco-friendly Sustans™ fill using a high-tech bio-based fiber from DuPont Sorona™. It is the first bio-based heat retention material used for cold- weather gear in the textile market and is made from a renewable plant-based material. The warmth retention of Sustans™ is on par with natural down and you will immediately notice the additional loftiness and warmth of the updated style. The jacket itself is made from a 100% nylon mini-ripstop fabric with a DWR coating on both the inside and outside of shell fabric to offer a little extra water repellency when you get caught without an additional waterproof layer. We’ve also included an internal pocket that acts as a packable self- stowing pocket for the jacket. All of this combined with Grundéns traditional performance and durability has created an unbeatable combination. PRICE: $119.00 grundens.com hookedupdesigns.com SEPTEMBER/OCTOBER 2017 HOOKED UP 17
