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 HyperDRY™ Down
We use the highest quality 850+ fill power HyperDRY™ hydrophobic down. Why choose down over synthetic insulation? Down is significantly more compressible, while still offering more generous loft and superior warmth to weight ratio. Additionally, synthetic insulation breaks down faster over the life of the product, losing loft and warmth more quickly than down. As a result, a down-filled product will stay in your kit longer, and out of the landfill, making down a better value and better choice for the environment.

Pertex Quantum Eco Ripstop (10 Denier, .85 oz/yd)
The best fabric you’ll find for the shell of an ultralight down jacket.
1. Keeps your insulation drier: Best DWR we’ve tested
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
2. Reduce the use of harmful chemicals
3. Reduce our carbon footprint and waste in landfills
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.

Light and warm

Can’t wait to really test my new puffy out on the cdt!

Warm and light

The bottom is a little tight and I'm pretty small, so pay close attention to the chart when choosing your size, but it's kept me warm!

Great gear with great value

Great piece of gear. I had owned a Flex 22 Quilt for the first time 2021. Notice they also make down jacket. I'm 178cm 90kg, size "L" fit me well with space to have a base layer. The jacket is super light and keep me warm even at 1-5 celsius. The only downsize is international shipping stop me buying more when every new product launchs.

Order a larger size

I wear a large in ever brand, minus Lululemon and now Katabatic. I returned the large due to being small in the armpits and tight around the hips. I’m 6 foot at 190 pounds. The extra large fits me well. Other than sizing, one recommendation for the next version is to install wind blocking material behind the zipper.

Another excellent product

Loved my Tincup and so I got a Tarn for warmer weather and it did not disappoint.

Wore this hiking the Wind River High Route and it kept me warm in wind, rain (under my shell), and snow. comfortable enough to sleep in and/or to wear all day. The elastic cuffs are excellent, they don't chafe, and the hood stays on when the jacket is zipped all the way up. No drop pockets is my only gripe.

I'm 5'10", 190 lb and the large fits me well. The medium was too small.
