High Performance

The GRAnaREC II is likely one of the highest-performing mid-layer jackets ever made. Its ability to physically add an extra layer of insulation (air) in colder conditions makes it versatile enough for extreme cold and milder temperatures alike.

Versatility

Its clean aesthetics make it perfect for urban strolls, while its performance-driven construction shines in rapidly changing conditions. It's also the go-to jacket for travel, with a self-packable design that’s ideal when portability is key. In adventure mode, it becomes essential when facing tough elements, especially when paired with the Everything Proof Jacket, as they connect seamlessly for added protection.

How was the fit?:
They run small
They run large
Height: Small but mighty || 5'6'' (168 cms) and under
Great

Also wearable well as a woman, average height. Many pockets, yeah!!
Temperature regulation seems to work well so far, not been able to test a lot. But also wearing it inside as quite cold here and I love fresh air, open window. 😅

Sent me the wrong size first, then my originally ordered one wasn't available atm so chose a size smaller. As I realised it runs relatively large, but in a comfy, sweater-under-it way, this was a good choice overall.

Pefect fit

Perfect fit, good quality. A little thing: The zipper is at the "wrong" side - at least for Europeans. A bit warmer than according to the description.

Highly innovative, outstanding performance, yet there's a downside as well

Have been using the Granarec II for several weeks now.
Conditions have been varying from -10 to +15°C and from snowy over rainy and windy to sunny and the jacket has performed outstandingly well within this whole range. It's comfortably lightweight, feels good to wear and seems really sturdy.
The soft inner lining of the hand warmer pockets is really nice and the W.A.I. tech is really a part of the future of clothing tech.

However, very unfortunately there's a downside to all this.
One of the little loops holding the cinch cord at the hem came off and unraveled the first time I pulled the cinch cord. As far, as I understand these little loops are handy, but not crucial to the function of the cinch cord, so I just cut off the rest of the loop. Reattaching it was not possible since the whole thing kinda disintegrated.

Yet, this left me a little baffled. I had the same problem with one of the loops in the big backpocket of my Nomad(e). Furthermore there's been quite a few of my Graphene-X items with loose threads upon delivery. I could fix those by stitching them back into the fabric or just cutting them off.
But it leaves an impression of the craftmanship of the gear, where this is most of the times top-notch(!), yet with a continuing lack of a good finish concercning small details, especially the stitching.

From what I've experienced so far, it might be worth checking these issues with the factory and maybe upgrading the attention to craftmanship and the stitching on the gear (e.g. double needle stitches, tougher threads, better QC, etc.).

What is Graphene?

Graphene is a one-atom thick layer of carbon. It’s the building block of Graphite (the same stuff you have in your pencils). This wonder material is stronger than steel (tensile strength), harder than diamond, more conductive than copper and has better electron mobility than silicon. The scientists that discovered Graphene won the Nobel prize in Physics in 2010. We integrate graphene on high performance fabrics to develop cutting-edge clothing.
