The Launch is constructed from a pre-baffled stretch ripstop fabric with a tremendous range of movement. Having the baffles woven into the fabric itself eliminates thread tension found on traditional "sewn in" quilted baffles. No threads, no restrictions.

Ease Of Movement

We source the down for the Launch from ALLIED Feather + Down, an industry leader in traceability programs who achieved the prestigious bluesign® system partner status in 2010. The 800 fill power found in the Launch provides serious insulation against winter’s worst while remaining highly breathable and lofty.

Better Down, Better Performance

There is an interior chest pocket at wearer’s left. We included 60-gram PrimaLoft® Bio™ insulation at the side panels. There are secure, zippered hand pockets and a center front zipper guard with zig-zag quilt detail.

Men's Sweaters

To create the Benson Hooded Sweater, we didn’t just give it a military-inspired look, we knit it from a military-grade, 100% extra-fine merino wool in a tightly woven Milano stitch. The result is a sweater with enough polish to wear out to dinner but plenty of performance to wear into the field, too.
