Use & Highlights

When to use — Core warmth layering under a shell on cold mountain days; equally useful as a standalone piece in mild conditions or for everyday urban use when a full jacket is too much

The case for a gilet — By removing the sleeves, the Asta concentrates insulation at the core — where heat retention matters most. It also breathes better than a full jacket during high output activity

Weight and packability. At 258g, the Asta stows into its own hand pocket; expedition-grade fill in a piece that disappears into a pack or bag

850 Fill Power — The same expedition-grade DownTek™ hydrophobic down as the Fenrir; 93/7 down-to-feather ratio and molecular-level hydrophobic treatment means the fill retains warmth when damp rather than collapsing.

NetPlus® — Pertex® Quantum Pro 30D outer woven from Bureo® NetPlus® reclaimed fishing nets, fully traceable to source. Windproof and highly water-resistant with PFC-free DWR.

2026 updates — Narrower baffles for improved warmth and compressibility. Grown-on collar removes the seam at the neck for a cleaner fit and better cold-weather sealing. Raised zipped hand pockets are positioned higher for use under a harness.

Ethics and sustainability — Responsible Down Standard compliant; bluesign®-approved clean chemistry and PFC and PFAS free throughout.
