Rockin’ the Squak from Vermont!

Absolutely love my new squak! Wore it for a rainy run the other day and it was the perfect layer to keep me just warm enough yet not overheated. It’s a perfect fit as well. I ordered an XS (5’2”, 112 lb) and it has just enough room under for a light base layer on cold days. Sleeves are perfect. I especially love the thumb holes! Excellent quality all around!

For every backpaking trip, year round.

Well made, incredibly light, with an athletic fit. It must be partnered with a shell (rain or wind) for sustained warmth. So light, soft, and warm that it finds a place in my pack all year. In high season it's now my only insulation layer. Shoulder season has it supplementing a mid layer. When it drops below freezing, this will become a wonderful sleeping shirt.

Squak has been very open about their unisex sizing, so please pay attention and don't fault them. I'm a 5'11" 165 lb male, Usually a medium or a large. I ordered an XL and it fits perfect. Recommend guys size up 1.5 sizes.

Thanks Squak. Looking forward to more color options.

Adaptive athlete's new favorite!

I'm an adaptive athlete and have to use lightweight/ultralight gear by necessity. I found this layer and it's my new go-to and backup in the backcountry! Ski touring, overnights, weather changj

Thanks for the great review! We are so glad you love it and can put it to good use.
