SALIDA, Colo., Nov. 27, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Award-winning ultralight gear manufacturer Katabatic Gear is proud to launch the ultralight Tincup and Tarn down jackets that are thoughtfully designed for hiking, backpacking and other outdoor activities, yet stylish enough to wear around town. These puffy jackets boast some of the highest fill to weight ratios available – up to 43 percent – using 850+ fill power and feature Bluesign® approved materials including recycled shell fabric and RDS certified down, all priced super competitively under $300.

In 2009, avid thru-hiker and Katabatic Gear Founder Aaron Martray sought out something much lighter than the traditional sleeping bag and designed one of the first ever ultralight quilts for the outdoors: a blanket style sleeping bag with revolutionary patented features that truly keep the cold out. Today, Katabatic Gear quilts are popular amongst thru-hikers and backpackers and have won multiple awards throughout the years. It was only natural for Martray to use his expertise with materials used in his quilts, including RDS certified down and Pertex Quantum eco fabrics, to design the new Katabatic Gear ultralight down jackets.
