Last season, the Dawner Collection proved itself with reliable comfort through the conditions we love while running, riding, working and playing in and around the mountains. Now, this vest provides even more ways to wear our softest, lightest active insulation. Sleek and low-profile, the soft interior diamond grid holds in warmth while allowing moisture to 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 for lightning-quick layer changes. An adjustable hem seals out sneaky updrafts and customizes fit.

Octa™ Lightweight Knit Insulation, 100% Polyester, 100g/m2
Soft to the touch, lightweight and extremely breathable, Octa™ 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. Over 50% of our product line incorporates preferred materials, which include organic cotton, recycled materials and responsibly-sourced down. We are committed to growing our preferred materials usage to 75% by 2025 and to completely eliminating PFAS from our garments by 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.
