Dynafit Ridge Ultralight Down Jacket
Unless you are an adorable seal insulated by cute little fat rolls, you likely will require some insulation in cold and blustery environments. Helping take the bite out of frosty mornings and ridiculously cold summits, Dynafit created the Ridge Ultralight Down Jacket. Its RDS-certified 800-fill down is extremely light and packable while retaining excellent loft, allowing you to forget about the jacket until the cold bite of winter reminds you of its presence in the bottom of your pack. While down has historically never performed in wet and humid environments (looking at you East Coast), the Downtek treatment allows the down to retain its loft and therefore warmth in wet environments. Unlike the stiff materials typically found on other down jackets, the Ridge Ultralight has a nice "supple" feel while proving to be durable, especially considering its weight. If weight, packability, and warmth are atop your ideal puffy descriptors, the Ridge Ultralight Down Jacket from Dynafit is a great choice.
- 800-fill down has a great weight-to-warmth ratio, perfect for backcountry skiing.
- RDS certification means the down is ethically sourced.
- Downtek treatment helps the down remain hydrophobic, providing insulation in cold and wet environments.
- PFC-free water-repellent coating helps shed light moisture to keep you warm and cozy.
- Face fabric has a nice supple feel that will have your partner saying "Hubba hubba."
