Big Agnes Men's Barrows Jacket

Big Agnes Barrows Men's Hooded Jacket

A lightweight, packable synthetic insulated jacket engineered for long backcountry days where staying warm and managing moisture both matter. The Barrows uses a body-mapped combination of Pinneco Core and Pinneco Mantle insulation to actively draw moisture away from the body while trapping heat close to it, wrapped in a fully recycled PFAS-free shell that resists water without sacrificing breathability.

Why We Carry It
It's the synthetic insulated jacket we recommend for active outdoor enthusiasts who want a versatile, moisture-managing layer that performs in the backcountry and wears well through the rest of the week.

Highlights

• Pinneco Core insulation on the front torso — A breathable, moisture-managing synthetic fill with a built-in membrane that actively draws moisture away from the body while boosting warmth at the core where heat retention matters most. A meaningful performance advantage over standard synthetic fills that trap moisture rather than managing it.
• Pinneco Mantle insulation on the back — A 100% post-consumer recycled structural insulation with minimal quilt lines on the back panel that increases the performance of the insulation and the water resistance of the shell fabric simultaneously. A body-mapped choice that addresses the moisture and warmth needs of the back differently than the front.
• 100% post-industrial recycled nylon ripstop shell with PFAS-free DWR — A water-repellent outer shell made entirely from recycled content without intentionally added PFAS chemicals for sustainable weather protection without the environmental concerns of traditional fluorinated treatments.
• Post-consumer recycled polyester taffeta lining with PFAS-free DWR — A fully recycled interior lining that adds another layer of moisture management and water resistance without added chemical treatments.
• Built-in hood visor — Adds weatherproofing and increased visibility on exposed terrain and in precipitation without a separate hat or additional headwear underneath the hood.
• Stealth thumb holes — Insulate the backs of the hands while eliminating the gap between sleeve and glove without the bulk of a traditional thumbhole cuff. A cold weather detail that shows up on windy days and cold approaches.
• Covert adjustable drawcords in hood and hem — Seal in body heat at both ends without external hardware that catches on gear or layers. Clean, functional adjustment for variable conditions.
• Chest pocket that doubles as a stuff sack — Packs into its own chest pocket for compact storage in a pack or a jacket pocket without a separate stuff sack to lose.
• Large interior mesh drop-in pockets plus zip hand pockets — Organized storage for camp essentials, snacks, and valuables inside and out with YKK Vislon zippers and knotted pulls for reliable, glove-friendly operation.
• Regular fit for layering — Enough room to add a base layer underneath and a shell on top without restriction through a full range of motion.
