An elegant, minimalist, 800-fill-power down jacket, made from recycled Fishing nets
Patagonia says
Alpine Downlab is an experiment in exploring the possibilities of nature’s lightest, most packable insulation. The 800-fill-power AlpLight Down Jacket uses NetPlus™, a 100% postconsumer recycled nylon fabric made from recycled fishing nets to help reduce ocean plastic pollution, and was designed for cool-weather missions when you need a featherlight insulating layer that packs down small and still keeps you warm. Fair Trade Certified™ sewn.
Our Verdict
This jacket is a testament to Patagonia’s principles, offering supreme warmth at an incredibly low weight thanks to the 800-fill-power down , as well as the nylon of the jackets outer being made from recycled fishing nets helping to reduce the oceans pollution. Its low weight can be attested to its elegant minimalist design, elasticated, tapered cuffs mean the jacket fits superbly well, the over stuffed collar keeps the heat in, as dose the storm flap over the zip. The hand warming pockets do just that, and I am always pleased to find a loop I can attack my keys too.
