GEARJUNKIE - Sierra Designs Cloud Layering System

Cloud Kit

Cloud Kit -

“Offered alone or in a three-piece package, Sierra Designs’ Cloud Layering System includes a windshell, a thin waterproof jacket, and an insulated puffy.  The company markets the kit as able to keep a person in the outdoors dry and comfortable across a huge temperature swing and on dry or wet days. 

The first piece, the Cloud Windshell, is a thin breathable jacket made to be worn over a base layer.  It keeps wind at bay and adds a bit of warmth.  If the clouds open, pull out the waterproof Cloud Airshell, a 4-ounce zippered sheen that’s about as thin as a plastic bag (though stronger).  It has some breathability, though the company says it is designed to be worn only when it rains.  Finally, if you’re cold pull out the down-insulated Cloud Puffy, a 12-ounce heater that can be warm enough when layered on to keep you comfortable as snow falls form the sky.  The whole kit packs small together and weighs a total of 22 ounces.  $492 as a system.”
