Full product story
As light as "air" [Küki in Japanese] at 172g/6oz (size M). Designed primarily to serve two purposes; as a stand-alone “sweater” when lightweight and packability is the goal such as long distance & duration runs/hikes/bikes and as a perfect mid-layer under a shell when a normal puffer/down jacket is too much. A full length center zip provides many ventilation options.
A casual “sweatshirt” fit slides easily over a tee-shirt or base layer. Wear it around the house when your partner won’t turn up the heat.
WHY WE LOVE IT
• Floats like air +172g (6oz, Size M)
• Easy on + Easy off + Packs into its own pocket
• Perfect as a stand-alone or mid-layer under a shell.
• Full-zip ventilation for on-the-move comfort
At elevations above 5,000 feet, down insulation is a year-round thing. In our home state of Montana summer temperature swings can toggle between 80°F days to 30°F nights. A microlight down layer, that can be deployed on a moment's notice becomes an everyday staple.
CARE FOR YOUR DOWN
STEP 1 - Place inside garment bag and fully close bag before washing
* If possible, pre-rinse products without detergent.
This helps to saturate the items allowing the detergent to penetrate the
fabrics more effectively and get to the down clusters to clean them thoroughly.
STEP 2 - Low Temp, Delicate Wash
Wash on warm/low temperature and a gentle cycle.
There is a greater likelihood that the fabrics will require a lower temperature
than the down itself. This also saves energy when it is not needed.
STEP 3 - Additional Rinse
Following wash, run an additional rinse without detergent. This will ensure that all detergent was completely rinsed out of the down and the product. Leaving residual detergent on the down may cause a reduction in fill power.
STEP 4 - Tumble Dry
Tumble dry on low temperature until completely dry with clean tennis balls or a clean shoe.
If you think the item is dry, it is worth running one last dry cycle. Many people assume it is dry by the feel of the textile, but the down inside remains slightly damp. This may take several cycles. It is not possible to over-dry in a home laundry machine, and is always better to err on the side of dry with down insulation.
It may be obvious, but do not bleach or iron your down filled products.
We also generally recommend against dry cleaning, but if that is necessary because of certain trims on the item, it is recommended to use an eco-friendly dry cleaner who has experience with down filled products.
