#ADVENTUREMAGAZINE<br />
We know the dance that is winter hiking with a pack so we used heat-mapping to study<br />
the way different bodies regulate heat while hiking in order to build the Ridgevent.<br />
+<br />
GENDER-SPECIFIC DESIGN.<br />
Heat-mapping shows that men retain<br />
heat longer than women, so we’ve<br />
increased the ratio of ventilation<br />
to insulation in men’s styles.<br />

DOWNPLUS+ INSULATION.<br />
Blending 65% responsibly sourced,<br />
waterproof goose down and 35%<br />
ultra fine Primaloft synthetic<br />
fibers for warmth even when wet.<br />
+<br />
ENGINEERED BACK BAFFLES.<br />
Alleviates overheating with a<br />
baffle construction that provides<br />
warmth where you need it and<br />
breathability when it matters.<br />
