- Downlight® Vest
- The Classic Core-Insulating Piece
- Nothing’s lighter, warmer or better in cold, dry conditions. Keeping your core warm is critical in extreme conditions, and the Downlight is built to do exactly that. As Ed Viesturs says, “Sometimes it’s all you need to cut the chill.” 800 fill power premium northern European goose down. Soft ripstop shell that’s water- and abrasion-resistant. Weighs just 7.76 oz.; packs into its own pocket. Machine wash. Precision layering.
PRECISION LAYERING
First Ascent is built as a complete system. All pieces—outerwear, insulating layers and baselayer—are cut so the body and sleeve lengths of each successive layer are slightly longer than the one underneath. Maximum coverage. Great fit. No bunching or binding.Colors

Technology
- EB800™ DOWN
- 800 FILL POWER
- Fill power is the measure of down's loft and insulating efficiency. The higher the fill power, the better the down. We use only premium northern European goose down. The down clusters are larger, denser and more resilient to ensure the best performance and durability.
