Style-over-function? Never. But with the changes we've made to our best-selling Transcendent Down Collection you can have both.

We've updated this versatile range of lightweight down jackets and vests with technical performance fabric, retro-inspired design lines and deep cut baffles that taper downwards (in an oh-so flattering way). The new 20D ripstop 100% polyester fabric offers a soft, quiet handle (not to mention beautifully saturated colours), without sacrificing the Transcendent's work horse capabilities and invaluable weather resistance. Sustainably sourced 650 fill power down provides breathable warmth that packs into an integrated stow pocket, making this pint-sized insulator perfect for wilderness adventures, cold weather commutes…and looking good down your favourite watering hole.

Feature packed, down perfection.

Here's just 5x reasons to choose 'Transcendent' as your winter layer.

• Multiple Use: There's no stopping this jacket. Wear the Transcendent as an outerlayer in cold, dry conditions or layered under a shell in damp, cold weather. Down continues to offer the best warmth-to-weight ratios and breathability for technical performance use.
• Deep baffles, great fit: Our contoured baffle structure creates a streamlined fit that easily layers under waterproofs and harnesses. We've deepened the Transcendents baffles to allow the down to loft better, increasing the warmth of the jacket and it's ability to recover after compression.
• Large internal pockets: Perhaps the most useful feature a jacket can have after a hood – these large,inner pockets swallow hats and gloves when you're moving fast, and prevent Clif bars turning into ice-hard, dental disasters.
• Stuffs into pocket: The Transcendent Hoody compresses into it's left hand pocket for compact storage or use as a fleecy pillow (another benefit of fleece lined pockets).
• RDS certified Goose Down: Outdoor Research down is Responsible Down Standard (RDS) certified by Control Union. This is a global standard for best practice in animal welfare throughout a brand's entire supply chain for sourcing down insulation. The aim of the RDS is to create demand for more responsible practices and processes on farms and ensure waterfowl are treated humanely at every stage.
