Wild Rye's newest heavyweight midlayer, the Braxon Jacket, packs a massive punch with 200 grams PrimaLoft Gold insulation. Built with ultra-fine microfibers, it delivers serious, high-loft warmth on midwinter deep-freezes without bogging you down with excess bulk.
The shell features the brand's signature recycled polyester ripstop and distinctive topographic linework, borrowed from the popular Payette collection, seamlessly transitioning from cold-morning skin tracks to tailgates and post-lap drinks. A C0 DWR coating reliably sheds light precipitation and prevents the face fabric from soaking through. You get plenty of internal and external pocket storage for skins, snacks and trail essentials, while the trim, athletic cut works perfectly as a standalone piece on crisp bluebird tours.
