Material & Construction
- PERTEX® QUANTUM DIAMOND FUSE A 20 Denier recycled nylon ripstop using Pertex Quantum Diamond Fuse technology. Diamond fuse yarn has an engineered cross section allowing the yarns to sit together even more tightly than conventional yarn creating an incredibly flat fabric surface. Not only does this increase the fabric's abrasion and snag resistance but helps shed water. PFC/PFAS Free durable water repellent (DWR)
- ExpeDRY goose down at 800+ fill power (180g Size M). ExpeDRY works through a permanent and chemical-free bonding of gold particles to the down cluster which aid in the evaporation of water molecules, causing the down to dry faster and stay dry in high humidity and extreme conditions.
- PrimaLoft® Gold Insulation Active Vent Lightweight warmth and thermal efficiency, designed for breathability and effective moisture management. Packable insulation that remains warm even if wet. 4-way stretch enables freedom of movement.
- PEAQ Lightweight recycled nylon plain woven fabric with a PFC/PFAS Free DWR.
