Is the Austin warm enough for -20°C?

Quartz Co. rates it to -20°C (-4°F) with 200g PrimaLoft Black insulation. Owners report comfortable warmth from about 1°C down to -17°C, so it suits most city winters.

How does the fit run?

It is a slim-straight cut that follows the body without cinching the waist. It is not meant to be snug, and Quartz Co. says you can layer light or heavier pieces without sizing up or down.

It has a 10,000 mm waterproof rating and a 10,000 g/m²/24h breathability rating, with a PFAS-free DWR treatment. That handles rain and wet snow, not prolonged downpours.

Does it use down or synthetic insulation?

It uses 200g PrimaLoft Black synthetic insulation, not down. That keeps it warm when damp and makes the shell, lining and insulation all recycled.

Can the hood be removed?

No. The hood is fixed, though it has an adjustment system to cinch it down.

As of November 5, 2026, the best new price is $595 at Quartz Co., the only store listing it new. Watch for end-of-season sales on winter outerwear if you can wait.
