Leupold Quick Thaw Insulated Jacket Ash Green 2XL

The Leupold Quick Thaw Insulated Jacket in Ash Green is built for hunters and outdoorsmen who need reliable cold-weather protection without the bulk. This lightweight hunting jacket packs down small enough to fit in your pack or vehicle, then deploys instantly when the weather turns. Whether you're glassing from a ridge, waiting for dawn in a blind, or layering under a rain shell during an early-season hunt, the Quick Thaw delivers warmth when you need it most.

At its core, the Quick Thaw uses 80g of synthetic insulation—enough to cut the bite out of cold mornings and unexpected temperature drops without the weight penalty of heavier jackets. The outer fabric is a DWR-coated 20D ripstop weave, which resists moisture and handles brush contact better than lighter nylon blends. An adjustable hem lets you dial in fit over layers or a gun belt, and the stuff-sack chest pocket is where the genius lives: the jacket packs into its own pocket, turning it into a compact bundle you'll actually keep with you instead of leaving behind.

This is the kind of jacket that earns permanent real estate in a go-bag or truck—too useful to remove once you realize how often a temperature swing catches you mid-hunt. Available in Ash Green, the 2XL size offers a roomier cut for layering or bigger-framed shooters who need mobility and comfort at the range or in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this jacket pack down small enough to carry hunting?

Yes—the Quick Thaw folds into its own chest pocket, making it one of the most packable insulated jackets on the market. Once stuffed, it's compact enough for a day pack, truck, or even a jacket pocket.

Is the Quick Thaw waterproof or just water-resistant?

The jacket is water-resistant, thanks to its DWR (durable water-repellent) coating on the 20D ripstop outer. It sheds light rain and moisture but isn't fully waterproof; layer it under a rain shell for extended wet conditions.

Can I layer this jacket under a heavier coat?

Yes. The lightweight design and adjustable hem are built for layering flexibility, so the Quick Thaw works well as a mid-layer under a waterproof parka or as a standalone insulation layer in milder cold.

What size should I order if I prefer to layer underneath?

The 2XL offers a roomier cut that accommodates layering without bunching. If you're between sizes or plan to wear it over base layers regularly, consider sizing up.
