For a quick boost of warmth, the Cubit Stretch Down Vest is the perfect everyday gilet on a cold winter’s day. Giving a second life to quality down that might have otherwise ended up in landfill, the Cubit Stretch Down Vest is filled with heat trapping, 700FP recycled down.
Versatile, stylish, and functional this gilet is at home in town or on the trail. The Pertex®3D Weave Technology allows the baffles to be constructed from one piece of stretch fabric, without the need for stitching. This improves warmth and wind resistance and allows the torso to stretch and twist with you, offering great mobility for outdoor activities. The outer Pertex® Quantum fabric is breathable and weather resistant with a fluorocarbon free DWR finish, coping well with sudden showers and winter winds.
Lightweight and packable, it can be easily stashed in your pack and pulled out at the summit for that well-earned sandwich break. It has a durable YKK® VISLON® front zip with a soft, fleece lined chin guard, a snug down filled hood, and a flattering slim fit. Cosy and comfortable, the Cubit Stretch Down Vest will be the layer you reach for daily.
Pertex® 3D Weave
This technology allows baffles to be woven into a single sheet of fabric, eliminating the need for stitching. Maximises the insulating performance and the reducing overall weight, it enables incredible stretch and freedom to move.
Recycled Down
Using 100% recycled, high quality down, gives a second chance to down that might otherwise have ended up in landfill. Reducing waste and making the most of this valuable insulation.
Fluorocarbon-Free DWR
A durable water repellent coating made without harmful fluorocarbons, that encourages water to bead and roll off the garment, keeping you dry. Find out more about why we're cutting out fluorocarbons from our gear.
Really comfortable with the stretch in the fabric and snuggly hood
A great fit, especially with the elasticised edges on the armholes and the stretch fabric. I also love the fact that the down filling is recycled, by far the best option for end of life items.
