The answer is top-notch performance for technical activities at low temperatures in variable conditions. The Dual Series features baffled high quality down on the front panels with Primaloft® insulation on the shoulders, sleeves and back.

Where we use down, we also use our proprietary Araneum fabric (a 20 denier nylon Ripstop fabric that is 33% stronger and only 10% heavier than 15 denier fabrics).

This means the fabric has a natural tendency for trapping heat, yet it remains one of the most packable materials on the market.

Where we use Primaloft®, we use our hyperlight HiTex15 fabric–a special hyperlight Ripstop nylon that weighs less per square meter than our proprietary Araneum with a durable water repellant (DWR) treatment to make it waterproof and durable, yet still packable.
