Peak Performance Flips Mid-Layer Design with Dual-Function Freelight Insulated Reversible Jacket

March 26, 2026

Marking a new step in functional innovation, the jacket combines warmth, freedom of movement, and a reversible design to deliver multi-environment adaptability.

Stockholm, Sweden (March 26, 2026) /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ — Swedish mountain brand Peak Performance continues its legacy of functional innovation with the Freelight Reversible Insulated Hood Jacket — a lightweight, synthetic insulated mid-layer whose reversible design delivers both standalone performance and seamless layering integration.

Developed alongside Peak Performance athletes and mountain guides in Europe’s steep and exposed environments, the Freelight Reversible Insulated Hood Jacket combines PrimaLoft® Silver insulation with stretch-mapped construction to achieve the ideal balance of warmth, breathability, and freedom of movement.

The 60g PrimaLoft® Silver insulation maintains warmth even when damp, while the lightweight ripstop shell fabric resists wind and light precipitation. Strategic stretch panels ensure unrestricted movement during dynamic ascents, making it equally suited for high-output ski touring or exposed ridge traverses.

“We design from real situations,” says Sofia Gronmark, VP Design & Creative at Peak Performance. “When you’re moving in the mountains, access, layering, and temperature regulation matter more than aesthetics. Freelight was created to maximize functionality across the entire day. When conditions shift, Freelight adapts.”

The Freelight’s reversible construction is more than an aesthetic flourish — it’s a true performance feature that adds meaningful functionality. When worn on its own, two internal mesh stash pockets provide secure, convenient storage for accessories or a headlamp while on the move. When layered under a shell, the jacket can be reversed for easy access to those essentials — keeping them just one zipper pull away.

Rooted in Swedish design principles and shaped by real mountain use, the Freelight Reversible Insulated Hood Jacket is part of a broader Freelight family that includes insulated vests and shells, wind jackets, and baselayers featuring Polartec’s most innovative fabrics, such as Alpha™ and Power Grid™. Each product in the range embodies Peak Performance’s commitment to functional design and purpose-driven innovation.

The Peak Performance Freelight Reversible Insulated Hood Jacket for men and women is priced at 270 USD and is now available in-store and at peakperformance.com.
