  • Responsibly Sourced Down

    Like many of our customers, we at Katabatic Gear are concerned with the environmental and animal welfare impact of our products. We are dedicated to a responsibly sourced, and very high quality product, just like our down supplier, Allied Feather and Down. They are certified through both the bluesign® and Responsible Down Standard® programs.

    850+ Fill Power ExpeDRY™ Down

    We use the highest quality 850+ fill power ExpeDRY™ hydrophobic down. This down has been treated to provide additional resistance to unwanted moisture. In conjunction with our highly water-resistant shell materials, ExpeDRY™ provides extra peace of mind, and dries faster than untreated down if it does get wet.

    Pertex Quantum Eco Ripstop (20 Denier, 1.2 oz/yd)

    The best fabric you’ll find for the shell of an ultralight down jacket.
    1. Protects your down from the elements
    2. Keeps your insulation loftier: Lightweight, soft, breathable, and downproof
    3. Reduces demand for raw materials: Eco version of Pertex Quantum is made from recycled yarns and maintains the fabric’s advanced performance qualities

    Pertex Quantum Taffeta (20 Denier, 1.0 oz/yd)

    This Pertex Quantum plain weave makes for a silky soft liner fabric on the inside of our down jackets. We get tons of customer feedback stating that it’s the most comfortable performance fabric to ever brush up against them – not as clammy or crinkly as other fabrics.

    Sustainability


    Why yes, we do think it matters. It matters a lot!

    From the fine details to big picture goals, we know our decisions about materials, partnerships, and daily operations can have far reaching effects outside this building. Climate change affects us all. It is personal. We have more progress to make, but here are a few ways we currently prioritize sustainability.
    1. Reduce demand for raw materials
      1. We build our jackets with fabrics made from recycled yarns (Pertex Quantum ECO).
    2. Reduce the use of harmful chemicals
      1. Our fabric and down suppliers are bluesign® approved, so we know their processes and technologies are monitored and certified to minimize impact on people and the environment. All of our down is also RDS® (Responsible Down Standard) approved and certified to be ethically sourced.

    While Katabatic Gear is committed to making UL gear that exceeds your expectations, it is equally important that we minimize our negative impact on the planet and its occupants. Whether it’s a special place in the backcountry, or the city you live in, we want to do our part to maintain healthy land, air, and water to keep this a comfy home for all. Though ours is not a perfect plan, we will continue to search for ways to improve our sustainability efforts, and minimize the impact of our operations on the planet.

So far so good!

This jacket is a bit heavier than what I had been using. I've used it on about 3 trips so far and I'm really happy with it. It's insanely comfy like being gently hugged. I got a medium and I'm 5'8 145lbs, it fits really well. I originally purchased this jacket because it is reputed as having one of the highest warmth/weight/cost ratios. So far those claims are holding up. I'm looking forward to putting this jacket to the test and I would recommend it.

Top-notch

An incredible jacket, for me the best of all. Loft, craftsmanship, packability, and warmth are outstanding. The question remains: When will the matching pants be available?

Future Design Suggestion

It would be great to see a future iteration of this jacket with a helmet-compatible hood. Such a feature probably doesn't speak to your current market, but given the quality, weight, and design of your jackets, adding a helmet-compatible hood would meet the needs of another large market of outdoor enthusiasts. The specs on these down jackets beat even those of the Euro climbing gear companies, and I think you'd see a lot of eager users. Plus, I'd really like one :). KG bags are the best bags I've used in 30 years, hands-down.

This is this best winter puffy ever made for moderate conditions

Warm and light!

The jacket is very light and warm. I am in Chicago and the winters can be brutal and so far I've been using it without zipping it as it gets super warm. Looking forward to test it once we hit the negatives (F)! One suggestion I have for the Katabatic team is to add inside pockets for the next gen. I do feel I am missing those.
