Fabric Highlight

Merino Ponti

Composition: 100% Merino Wool
Weight(s): 300 - 375 gsm
Micron gauge: 19.5μm
Part mid layer, part outer layer, our Ponti is 100% merino wool, double-knit for incredible insulation. The interlocking structure monopolizes on merino’s natural elasticity, allowing it to move with you while skinning up the north side of the mountain or reaching for that final arête. Merino Ponti is our fabric of choice for the Shak collection, named for the iconic Antarctic explorer Sir Ernest Shackleton. It’s ready for any and every expedition you find yourself on.

Reviews

After 3 years, still my favorite piece

"I bought the shack jacket more than 3 years ago and it continues to be a frequent layering piece for life in the upper Midwest, and it has been around the world on all my travels because it is the perfect item for travel that looks structured enough to dress up an outfit. After More than three years of repeated wear and washes it has never pilled or looked worn, although the sleeves below my wrist are starting to show some wear. It has been a great investment and I plan to buy another as soon as a lighter color is released!"

— Joy H. (5/5)

Women’s Shak jacket

"I’ve been wearing the vest for a few years and love it. It’s a snug but comfortable fit. Bulky sleeves underneath probably won’t work unless you size up enough. I did not size up as I wouldn’t want the sleeves any longer. Very clean look, perfect for any occasion."

— Laura K. (5/5)

Relationship Status

"I’m not on FB, but if I were, I’d officially change my relationship status to “In a committed relationship with my Women’s Shak Jacket. ” It’s not a fling. It’s not a crush. It’s a full-blown commitment. I am all in. This jacket has become my go-to for days when it’s a little too cool when WFH, to hikes in the Whites (yes, snow in June!), in-office attire, and pretty much any occasion that involves getting out of bed. Comfortable? Yes. Cozy? Absolutely. Life-altering? Without question. Honestly, this isn’t just a jacket—it’s a lifestyle, a security blanket with sleeves, and possibly my healthiest relationship to date."

love it

"it’’s exactly what I wanted. casual or more formal, warm, attractive a little big, but not a problem"

— audrey s. (5/5)

Great weight

"Wonderful style. Love it as every day throw on jacket. Bought for walking an hiking adventures as a middle layer. It’s perfect."

— Lottie S. (5/5)

best jacket ever

"This is the very best jacket to own, I have 6 of them to go with every winter, spring, fall outfit I have. I wear it like sweater. They wear like iron, I started with 2 and then added 1 a year. I highly recommend"

— Erika P. (5/5)

Excellent Layering Piece

"Perfect for spring in Canada and Alaska…layers well over base layers and under rainwear. Will be getting another!"

— M B. (5/5)

Great multi-purpose mid layer

"If I could only have one mid layer, it would be this jacket. It is good quality and appropriate for many activities and occasions. I have worn it on several multiday rail fanning trips, to an international business training, to the gym for workouts, and also some pretty nice restaurants. It is super comfortable, has zip pockets, and doesn't stretch out of shape, even after being worn for several days straight. It's plain so it can go from sporty to business casual without missing a beat. I got harvest mélange color and it's right at home with my earth toned wardrobe."

— Alexanna (5/5)

Shak collar

"Love the jacket, but not the way the neck line fits. It does not live flat and has a weird fold on the right side not sure if it’s a defect in the jacket itself or the way it’s made."

— Julie A. (3/5)

Classic and comfortable

"Love this cardigan jacket in Admiral blue. The material and construction is the best in the industry. It maintains its shape with constant wearing. I can dress it up for an evening at the theater. I chose to upsize because my goal was to have a loose comfortable fit for casual or dressy look. Now that I have established my fit I intend to get another Shak in green. I also have the vest in gold and I love that piece also and have received many compliments on the fit and color. Expensive but worth the price for the quality of the product."
