Outpost Light 1/2 Zip Jacket
DWR treated, active insulation that moves with you. Silent. Packable. Built for all-day sits.
The Outpost Light 1/2 Zip Jacket was built for one thing: keeping you warm during long, cold sits without weighing you down or making noise. It's the jacket Midwest hunters asked for—DWR treated with active insulation that actually moves with you at full draw.
CHEST
Measure around the fullest part of your chest, keeping the measuring tape flat and horizontal.
SLEEVES
Start at the top of your shoulder and measure down to your wrist bone with your arm relaxed at your side. For the most accurate fit, have someone help you.
Each of our garments comes with specific care instructions to ensure they perform at their best. Please check the care label on your Cheli Gear before washing or drying.
WASHING INSTRUCTIONS
To keep your gear in top condition, wash it on a normal cycle using warm water and a detergent formulated for hunting apparel. This will effectively clean most dirt and blood stains. We suggest running a second rinse cycle to thoroughly remove any detergent residue. Always wash with similar colors. Avoid using bleach, fabric softeners, and do not dry clean your gear.
DRYING INSTRUCTIONS
For the best results and to minimize environmental impact, we recommend line drying your garments. If you prefer to use a dryer, select a normal or gentle cycle with medium heat. For outerwear, whether line-dried or machine-dried, an additional 20-minute tumble dry will help reactivate the Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish, which we highly recommend.
Polartec® Alpha™ Active Insulation
Breathes while it holds heat. Vents on the walk in so you don't soak through, then keeps you warm in the cold sit. Warmth without the bulk — or the mid-sit overheat.
Water-Resistant DWR Treated
Sheds light rain, wet brush, and frost-melt before it soaks in. Not a rain shell — a working layer built for the damp you actually hunt in.
Integrated Face Mask
Stows in the hood, pulls up when a deer's working in close. Nothing extra to forget in the truck.
