A Tribute to the Feathered Friends Volant Down Jacket
The Volant Jacket is filled with 11+ ounces of hot tub-warm 850+FP Goosedown. The day after the picture of me above was taken on Mt. Rainier this jacket earned a permanent place in my gear closet. It was so cold high on the mountain at 2am that I ended up wearing the jacket while climbing Disappointment Cleaver and the decent back down to Ingraham Flats.
There are tons of warm down jackets on the market from many different manufacturers and big box stores like REI and Backcountry, but there are several reasons why I would spend the extra money and buy from this small custom down manufacturer in Seattle.
