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.

Ease Of Movement

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.
