Custom sized. Choose your body width, and then the body/arm lengths, shorter or longer, that work for you. This custom sized item takes us a little longer (typically two weeks longer) to make and, because it’s personalized, it’s non-returnable and our customer loyalty scheme can’t be applied. This jacket is also
available in standard sizes (with a 5 day dispatch time).
Wafers are the new ultralight down clothing from PHD. Real outdoor gear which will add a raft of choices to your gear selection. Jacket, Vest, Trousers, and Socks.
A super-light jacket that offers much more in camp or bivvy than a fleece. It's lighter, warmer and windproof, as well as taking up one third as much space in your pack. (You could squash twenty Wafer jackets into your 20 litre day-sac: try that with twenty fleeces!)
This is the ideal warmer for spring or autumn camping, when that cold little evening wind makes the sunny afternoon a distant memory. And if the night's a bit colder than you expected, keep the Wafer jacket on inside your bag: a definite booster, particularly if you've got the Wafer trousers on too.
- Ideal companion in a cool camp, bothy, or hut.
- Pack without noticing the weight (or the bulk).
- Midlayer to boost warmth: warmer than a fleece weighing more than twice as much, and windproof too.
- Add performance to your sleeping bag.

Note: Fabrics as thin as 10X do not stand up well to direct abrasion, so we do not recommend our Wafer gear as actual climbing outerwear. But for all its thinness 10X is amazingly downproof and windproof and with reasonable care will go on giving you good service for years.
