"With a range of baffle widths that would baffle the Michelin Man, this hooded lightweight wonder is close-fitting and thin enough to be worn as a layer, but warm and water resistant enough to work as an outerpiece."

How do you improve on perfection? Add a hood! The lightest down layer in our long history, this instant warm-up is the ideal weight for layering or packing. The adaptable design features an athletic cut that allows this critical insulator to function expertly as a mid, outer or emergency layer.

MicroTherm™ Down

MicroTherm is First Ascent's lightest, warmest down construction, which pairs Premium European Goose Down fill with some of the narrowest channel baffling in the outdoor industry. The narrow-channel construction prevents down migration and keeps the fill more evenly distributed throughout the garment—minimizing the cold spots and filling voids that could allow body heat to escape. This elevates the overall thermal value of MicroTherm to an extremely high degree, meaning more warmth for the same weight, reducing overall bulk and allowing for easier layering as well as greater packability. We like to emphasize it's the warmest, lightest down we've ever made.

StormRepel®

Our durable water-repellent (DWR) finish causes moisture to bead up on the surface so it rolls off or evaporates rather than soaking into the fabric.

"This versatile piece never left my back for 50 days in the Himalayas. It can be layered under a shell on particularly cold or windy days, used as an outer layer on dry but chilly days, and isn't too warm to wear out to dinner."
