Are you familiar with pre-baffled fabric?
The beauty is in the construction of the fabric at the mill level to support the 800-fill-power grey-goose-down insulation. The baffles that contain the down are woven into the fabric itself, so there is no need for exterior stitching, keeping the surface of the fabric smooth. This process also means down feathers will not leak through needle holes in the seams, as often happens in traditional down jackets.
Easy to wear, easy to move in.
Constructed from a pre-baffled stretch ripstop with tremendous ease of movement. Having the baffles woven into the fabric itself eliminates thread tension found on traditional "sewn in" quilted baffles. No threads, no restrictions.
Water resistant and breathable.
The breathability of this fabric helps prevent overheating.
Small Details.
The Launch Jacket features a stretch-nylon binding at the sleeve cuffs and hood opening. There is a center-front zipper, and for storage, there are hand pockets (one with a hidden phone pocket) and an interior patch pocket with a Velcro® closure. There is also a rib knit at the body hem.
The Launch Jacket is about as AETHER as it gets.
An instant classic, this is a piece that should go in every suitcase you pack and on every adventure you set out to do.
