Overview
Each jacket is tailored to fit perfectly. The jacket was created by a former Lululemon designer, because if you're going to cover up shiny stainless steel, it better look just as good! We think she did the trick!
- Reinforced stitching around all ports, legs and handles for extra strength
- Helps maintain stable fermentation temps regardless of ambient conditions
- Stops the tank from ‘sweating’ in warm weather
- Interior Velcro for attaching the optional conical heater
- Machine washable

Insulates very well.
I wish it was easier to keep clean. Condensation during the warmer months require it to be cleaned often due to mold growing on it.
Good but could be great
It serves an important function, especially when brewing lagers or cold crashing. Here are some recommended improvements to make it "great": 1) Make it removable (without disassembling the conical), to help keep it clean. 2) Make an accompanying cap for it (a lot of heat gain comes from the lid); possibly also small bits to cover various exposed connections. This should be easy addition(s) to make. 3) Consider a slightly thicker neoprene, if possible Together these could be a real step change improvement that many/most would subscribe to.
Fits like lopsided pants
The concept is good but the fit and finish is not. The leg holes and triclamp fitting holes are off by about an inch causing the jacket to not be snug at those points. Whoever is cutting and sewing this jacket surely is not a master craft person.
It works but could be improved
As another brewer stated the main complaint is the single piece slip-on design. The fermenter needs to be flipped over and wheels / base removed to install/remove the jacket. I’m sure there could be some design using a few zippers to allow it to be removed and cleaned more easily. I have also had mildew issues with the jacket at lagering temps but not sure that really the jacket’s fault. I’ve held temps around 35F with an ambient in the 70s using the jacket so it does work well but with the caveats mentioned above.
Everything SPIKE it top notch
This item and every item from Spike is amazing quality. Perfect snug fit. It's now on my conical. I am very happy with this product.
