The Vantage Alpine is a men's ultralight down jacket built for cold, stationary moments in exposed alpine terrain. It packs 203g of 850 fill ExpeDRY down with Fuze nanogold treatment into a 15.2 oz (size M) shell, and Zero Stitch baffle construction makes it about 40% more wind resistant than stitched-through down jackets. It suits climbers, ski tourers and ridgeline glassers who want warmth per ounce and will layer it under a shell. Against rivals like the Patagonia Down Sweater or Arc'teryx Cerium, it trades everyday styling and feature count for wind resistance and fast-drying down. Owners rate it 4.6 out of 5 across 61 ratings.

The Vantage Alpine Down Jacket is an ultralight insulated jacket for cold, windy terrain above the treeline. It weighs 15.2 oz in size M and is designed for cold, stationary moments in exposed alpine conditions. It has no pit zips and no extra features.
It is insulated with 203 g of 850 fill ExpeDRY down with Fuze nanogold technology, which dries faster and rebounds better than DWR down. The shell is 15D wind- and water-resistant nylon with Zero Stitch baffle construction. The seamless baffles make it 40% more wind resistant than standard stitched-through down jackets.
The jacket has an adjustable two-way hood, dual zip hand pockets, internal drop pockets and a cinchable hem. It keeps you comfortable from 20°F to 55°F when layered properly.
