Men's Lightweight Goose Down Gilet
The Benchmark Gilet
The first of its kind. Asta broke ground as the first gilet to feature expedition-grade Pertex® Quantum Pro woven from NetPlus® - 100% recycled fishing nets, fully traceable to source. Tough, windproof, and water-resistant, it set a new benchmark by pairing first-rate performance with sustainable innovation on a piece already defined by its legacy. Now, this latest evolution sharpens the edge: lighter, stronger, warmer than ever.
At just 258g, Asta delivers an unrivalled warmth-to-weight balance with 850 Fill Power DownTek™ hydrophobic goose down and a premium 93/7 down-to-feather ratio - the highest practically possible. Reinforced with mapped synthetic fill at the shoulders, it holds strength and warmth even under a pack. Our DownTek™ down stays dry 10x longer and dries 3x faster than standard down, retaining heat even in changeable conditions.
Every detail has seen further refinement all while shaving 47g from the weight. Narrower baffles improve warmth and compressibility, a straighter cut gives clean layering, a grown-on neck collar removes seams, and harness-raised hand pockets improve function in the vertical world. A built-in stuff sack packs it away when not needed.
Minimal in bulk. Relentless in core warmth. Asta is a gilet forged from innovation and proven in extremes.
Our ethical approach complies with the Responsible Down Standard, and our hydrophobic down uses bluesign®-approved clean chemistry for its water repellent treatment.
Also available as a jacket.
