Article Summary:

What’s unique about the VersaLayer Ability Jacket is that it’s a soft shell jacket with retractable insulation in the torso area. Pulling on two blue cords inside the side pockets retracts the insulation; pulling on two red ones extends the insulation. A system of thin 100-pound test Spectra lines connected to each pull cord allows the insulation panel to slide back and forth.
