Pacaya Lite Hooded Jacket - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I use the Pacaya for everything from winter hikes to layering under a shell on storm days. The insulation is super breathable but still traps heat when I need it. It fits great under a pack, and I love that it uses recycled wool—it doesn’t feel bulky or stiff at all."

Cold days don’t slow us down when we’ve got the Pacaya Lite Hooded Jacket in our kit. Cotopaxi engineered this piece for movement and breathability, combining a recycled nylon shell with innovative insulation made from 60% recycled wool. Whether we're skinning up for first tracks or hiking in a shoulder-season chill, this jacket balances warmth and airflow so we stay dry and comfortable.

The softshell feel and stretch panels let us move freely, while the low-bulk design fits easily under a waterproof shell when conditions turn. We’re also big fans of the sustainable build—recycled fabrics and PFAS-free finishes make the Pacaya Lite a better choice for us and the planet. It’s technical, packable, and ready to work hard wherever we take it.
