The Full Story

Down is the warmest insulation there is, until it gets wet — so we built a hybrid that solves for it. Premium 850 fill-power HyperDRY® goose down handles the core warmth and packs down to nothing, while Primaloft® Gold takes over in the shoulders, cuffs, and hem where moisture collects and traditional down fails. The plant-based Ecodear® 15-denier ripstop shell is windproof, water-resistant, and PFAS-free. It nests perfectly under our Oceanus shell for the coldest, wettest days, and the REEL Storm hood delivers daily comfort in standout style.

The hybrid inside

Warm when it's dry. Warm when it's not.

850 fill-power HyperDRY® down

The body is filled with premium European white goose down for the best warmth-to-weight there is — treated with a PFAS-free hydrophobic finish so it beads water instead of soaking it up.

PrimaLoft® Gold where moisture hits

At the high-contact, high-moisture touch-points — shoulders, cuffs, hem — we swap down for PrimaLoft® Gold: synthetic insulation that keeps its warmth even when wet, with almost no bulk.

Dries 4x faster

Because the down sheds water instead of absorbing it, a REEL Down layer dries roughly 4x faster than untreated down and stays warm through the damp — the whole reason we built it this way.

Ecodear® bio-nylon shell

Everything's wrapped in a plant-based 15-denier ripstop — windproof, water-resistant, and PFAS-free, made from 60% castor-bean nylon with a solvent-free coating.

Packs down to nothing

850 fill power plus an ultralight shell means serious warmth that crushes into its own pocket — as light as 9.3 oz, ready to stuff in a pack until the cold rolls in.

Warm When Wet

HyperDRY® down beads water and dries 4x faster than untreated down, so a soaking doesn't cost you your warmth.

Featherlight & Packable

850 fill power and a 15-denier shell mean serious warmth that crushes down to almost nothing — as light as 9.3 oz.

Built Responsibly

Plant-based Ecodear® shell, PFAS-free treatments, and responsibly sourced down — performance without the pollution.

About PrimaLoft®

Ecodear® — by Toray

Why we built this

Made by two guys who actually fish.

We got tired of gear that quit before the day did — base layers that stank by noon, shells that soaked through, "performance" that was mostly marketing. So we built our own, tested it on the water we love, and give 5% of proceeds back to protecting it. If it doesn't survive our worst days on the water, it doesn't get our name.
