The Octaâ„¢ insulation that made our Dawner Jacket a trusted companion for cool, active days is now our go-to vest. Lightweight and breathable, the interior wears soft on skin and is designed in a diamond grid pattern that reduces bulk, creating a sleek shape that holds in warmth while letting moisture escape. The smooth nylon outer sheds wind and weather and incorporates stretch for easy range of motion. It packs small enough to fit into its own zippered pocket, and the adjustable hem seals out sneaky updrafts and customizes fit.

Octaâ„¢ Lightweight Knit Insulation, 100% Polyester, 100g/m2
Soft to the touch, lightweight and extremely breathable, Octaâ„¢ is a 100% polyester knit active insulation designed for long-lasting performance with premium comfort. This unique fiber with a distinctive, eight-branched design creates excellent moisture wicking and heat retention for 50% less weight than traditional yarns. The raised grid pattern facilitates airflow, which speeds up drying times, and the soft, brushed interior feels fleecy soft on skin.
As caretakers of the mountain life, we recognize our responsibility to support organizations and people who share our vision to drive positive change for people and the planet. We’re proud to partner with some tremendous organizations in their missions to responsibly advance outdoor recreation and protect our wild surroundings.
We are committed to building garments that are durable, timeless and continue to perform season after season. After years of research, testing and product development, in 2024 we completely removed PFAS from all of our newly developed products. We remain committed to growing our Preferred Materials usage, which includes organic cotton, recycled materials and responsibly-sourced down and wool, to 75% by the end of 2025.
Our apparel is built to last. As a part of our efforts to reduce waste and keep more gear in the mountains where it belongs, our home-grown gear renewal program allows previously-used items to be traded in, cleaned, repaired and circulated back into use.
