The Plasma 1000 Alpine Down Parka represents the lightest mid-weight insulating layer on the market today. Made with some of the world’s thinnest nylon, 1000 fill power goose down, and gram-shaving design techniques, this garment pushes the limits what it means to be ultra-light. Extremely compact, highly portable, and with more than 40% of the parka's weight being high-lofting goose down, you would be hard pressed to find a warmer jacket at 8.4 oz. Fully functional in 3-season conditions, the Plasma 1000 Alpine Down Parka represents the ultimate “warmth to weight ratio” offering for ultra-light backpackers, alpinists, and anyone looking to cut weight on winter outings.

7-denier Ballistic Airlight Nylon

We utilize some of the smallest fibers and thinnest fabrics available to achieve a highly compressible ultra-light garment. This silky 7-denier shell has the feel of cotton, but is durable enough to withstand the rigors of normal use for an insulated inner piece. Weighing in at a spartan 21 grams per square meter this highly wind resistant fabric is one of the lightest used in the outdoor industry!
