Eskimo Explorer Jacket - Youth

Ice fishing season is memory making season for young anglers. Get the kiddos out for a true “up north” experience with the Explorer™ Jacket, even if they spend half the day lobbing snowballs at your buddies’ kids instead of jigging for crappies. No matter how much slush they roll through, keep things warm and dry behind our high-performance DuraDry™ Mechanical Stretch fabric. This stretchy fabric enhances mobility and comfort, non-restrictive to movement so the jacket can keep up the pace with your kid. It’s rated to 10k/10k Waterproof/Breathable performance and coated in DWR, which means even the sloppiest of slush pits will stay right where it is—outside. On the inside, we’ve packed 80gm of 3M™ Thinsulate™ insulation throughout the body, a stout insurance package to keep body heat in on the coldest days. Beyond the comfort factor, there’s a true peace of mind that comes with our Uplyft™ Breathable Flotation assist technology, where if the unthinkable happens the jacket is buoyant and will stay above water. An investment in safety can last for multiple seasons as well, with Grow With Me™ sleeve extensions that can be let out to help keep up with growing anglers. The rest of the jacket is outfitted with all the bells and whistles a kid could want or need. Lots of big pockets, reinforced and contoured knee panels, a front storm flap, and an elastic, adjustable hood. We use premium YKK® zippers on all of our outerwear, so there’s no fiddling around with the cheap stuff. Get the whole family out on the ice and stay one step ahead of the elements with a jacket that gets it done. UPLYFT™ BREATHABLE FLOTATION – Offers safety-enhancing flotation-assist, in a breathable form factor unique to Eskimo. Sweat and moisture are allowed to escape the fabric and move away from the skin, providing a more comfortable experience on the ice. WATERPROOF & WINDPROOF – Fabric rated to 10k/10k Waterproof/Breathable performance, with fully-taped seams throughout. The exterior is coated in DWR to repel and bead water off the fabric. GROW WITH ME™ – Each sleeve of the jacket offers unique sleeve extensions that can be adjusted as your child grows. COMFORTABLE INSULATION – 80gm of 3M™ Thinsulate™ insulation throughout body of jacket, with 60gm in the sleeves for comfort and mobility. FLEXIBLE FABRIC – DuraDry™ Mechanical Stretch fabric allows for wide range of motion without restriction. Reflective fabric accents can be seen from a distance. EASY CINCH CUFFS – Adjustable wrist cuffs with a half neoprene and half fabric construction. Cinch up your cuffs with a hook-and-loop flap, or leave it as loose as you’d like. STORM FLAP – Heavy duty flap over the main two-way zipper of the jacket utilizes hook-and-loop closures to seal out the elements. DUAL ENTRY CARGO POCKETS – Cargo pockets big enough to hold a small jig box, fitted with hook-and-loop closures from the top. Additional hand warming pockets are hidden behind the main cargo pocket for easy access. DURABLE ZIPPERS – Features premium YKK® Zippers throughout the jacket – they’re the ones that last.
