Peak Performance Introduces the Monolight Circular Jacket

February 3, 2026

The innovative puffer jacket is designed to be worn to the fullest, repaired when needed, and recycled at the end of use.

February 3, 2026 /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – Born four decades ago in the heart of the Swedish Mountains, Peak Performance is the authority on outdoor adventure clothing, combining technical excellence with disruptive design.

For Spring/Summer ‘26, the Swedish brand introduces its latest innovation: the Monolight Jacket, a fully recyclable lightweight jacket designed for alpine purists and urban adventurers alike.

Engineered for circularity via a super durable recycled ripstop monomaterial construction, the Monolight Jacket is built to be used to the fullest, repaired with ease, and then recycled. The jacket has been created via a process that uses 90% of fabric during pattern cutting – a huge improvement on the industry standard. And the configuration of the Primaloft ThermX insulation not only allows for maximum heat retention without bulk, making the Monolight Jacket ideal for all-season use, but also facilitates easy repair, courtesy of the colour-matched fabric patches supplied with each jacket.

The super lightweight 20D recycled ripstop fabric (47gsm) blocks wind and repels light rain and snow, and the jacket’s Primaloft ThermX insulation is highly compressible, allowing the jacket to pack down into its own zip-closure pouch. Cut in a neat regular fit, with a fixed hood with chin guard that prevents friction at the collar, the Monolight jacket is designed for maximum freedom of movement alongside elite technical performance, either layered over a base or mid layer, or under a shell.

MONOLIGHT: THE BREAKDOWN

• A fully circular lightweight jacket, ready to be worn to the fullest, repaired when needed, and recycled at the end of use. The Monolight Jacket is certified for circularity via Circular Fashion’s official Circularity Standard.
• The unique configuration of Primaloft ThermX insulation that allows for maximum heat retention without bulk, making the Monolight Jacket ideal for all-season use on the trail or up the mountain, either layered over a base, or under a shell jacket.
• The super lightweight 20D recycled ripstop fabric (47gsm) blocks wind and repels light rain and snow, allowing the jacket to perform in a variety of adverse weather conditions.
• The Monolight jacket has been created via a process that uses 90% of fabric during pattern cutting – a huge improvement on the industry standard of 80%.
• The jacket is cut in a neat regular shape, and the configuration of the insulation cells allows for maximum freedom of movement. The fixed hood features a chin guard that prevents friction at the collar.
• The Monolight can be compressed down and packed into its own pocket, making it perfect for packing for day hikes or ski-touring.
• Each jacket is supplied with colour-matched patches that facilitate easy repair of tears or snags on the fabric at home, a testament to Peak Performance’s goal of true circularity.

The Peak Performance Monolight Jacket for men and women, is priced at 260 USD / 340 CAD and is now available in-store and at peakperformance.com.

The Monolight Jacket is complimented by the Discovery Midlayer, a second circular product in the Spring collection.

The Discovery midlayer is a recycled and recyclable all year round layering piece for high intensity hikes. Designed with lightweight construction, packability, and excellent ventilation at the forefront, it is a great companion for high-paced activities on the mountain.

Here’s what you need to know:

• Airflow has been highly considered through an open mesh 3D jacquard knitted pattern, helping to regulate temperature.
• Made from 172 gsm lightweight fleece, it can be worn alone, over a baselayer, or under a shell. It can be added or removed as your temperature changes, making it a great all-year round layering piece.
• Features a half zip with YKK reversed coil and protective chinguard for adjustable ventilation. Sleeve hems include thumbholes to keep sleeves in place and provide extra hand coverage.
• This product is verified according to the Circular Design Criteria Standard by circular.fashion. Constructed from safe and recycled materials, it is designed for durability and repairability, ensuring extended use and facilitating recycling at the end of its lifecycle.
• It’s lightweight and packable weighing in at 0.24g.

The Discovery Midlayer is priced at 140 USD / 190 CAD and will be available in-store and online at peakperformance.com/us in late March.
