STORY

This jacket will keep you warm for the same reason geese can nonchalantly cruise in near-freezing water. The answer lies in the remarkable properties of goose down – the soft, wispy plumage found beneath the tough exterior feathers. These fluffy filaments trap air, providing warmth with very little weight. The loftier the down, the higher its fill power – with this jacket’s 800 fill power being at the extreme top end of insulating performance. All that warm-yet-near-weightless down is contained within a 2.9-oz. recycled nylon/spandex shell that repels moisture, deflects wind and maneuvers with unrelenting agility. Inside, a pop-color polyester lining lets you move freely without binding or bunching. And here’s one more thing about this jacket’s premium goose down: It has superb compression and relofting characteristics, so it can spend days in a backpack and still fluff up to full-force warmth.
