Big Agnes Women's Larkspur Jacket

Big Agnes Larkspur Women's Hooded Jacket

A lightweight, packable synthetic insulated jacket engineered for long backcountry days where staying warm and managing moisture both matter. The women's Larkspur uses the same body-mapped Pinneco Core and Pinneco Mantle insulation system as the men's Barrows to actively draw moisture away from the body while trapping heat close to it, in a versatile everyday layer that moves from the weekend to the work week without missing a beat.

Why We Carry It
It's the women's synthetic insulated jacket we recommend for active outdoor enthusiasts who want a moisture-managing, packable 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 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 from the front.
• 11-ounce total weight with 2.6-ounce fill — Light enough to justify packing on any backcountry objective and packable enough to stow in its own chest pocket without a separate stuff sack.
• 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 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.

Best For

Active women, backcountry skiers, hikers, and outdoor enthusiasts who want a versatile, moisture-managing synthetic insulated jacket for long days in variable conditions where staying warm and staying dry need to happen simultaneously. A strong everyday layer for anyone who wants a packable insulated jacket that performs in the field and transitions naturally to everyday wear.
