Down Insulation: Preferred for backpacking due to excellent warmth to weight ratio (carry less weight, stay warmer). Down is the premium option and the feeling it gives you reflects this. Our Down is Water Resistant and Responsibly Sourced 650 Fill Power.

✅ Lightest (weighs the least)

✅ Most Compact (packs down small)

✅ Fantastic Warmth Efficiency 

❌ Not Vegan (some have allergy issues)

❌ Not 100% Waterproof

Synthetic Insulation: Preferred as the most economical option and when consistently camping in wet climates. This 100% Vegan option is hypoallergenic. Can be completely soaked and still insulates effectively. 

✅ 100% Waterproof

✅ Economical

✅ Hypoallergenic (100% Vegan) 

❌ Heavier (same warmth, heavier)

❌ Less Compact (same warmth, bulkier)

Our Dry Down is meticulously and carefully coated with a hydro-phobic micro layer solvent over the down insulation. This minimizes the down's ability to soak up water. The picture below shows normal down on the left and our down on the right after both were shaken fiercely for 60 seconds.
