THE LIGHTFUL DOWNWOOL VEST

The light and functional outdoor vest with DownWool® insulation

The Lightful DownWool Vest is a light, highly functional vest for sports activities such as trekking, biking, touring... but it can also be used in everyday life. It can be worn on its own or as an insulating mid-layer under a waterproof functional jacket.

The Lightful DownWool Vest is a sophisticated hybrid vest with unique DownWool® insulation and lavalan® AlmWolle.

The comfortably warm DownWool® is used on the upper body and on the back, in the areas where one is more sensitive. The balancing and moisture-resistant lavalan ® AlmWolle is used in areas with increased moisture, such as on the lower back, on the sides of the waist and in the hood. Perfect body mapping with unique insulation materials.

An extended back and the two-way zipper are also perfect for bikers. Four pockets provide plenty of storage space. The vest also has a detachable and adjustable hood. The adjustable waistband and the included stuff sack round off the functionality of the vest.

With the Lightful Vest, you'll get through the cool season well. You can wear them as an insulating mid-layer or as a 3rd layer (outer layer). No matter what the weather - whether in the city or on the mountain. No freezing and no sweating, whether it's dry cold or wet and cold dingy weather.

Unique to the DownWool® collection is its innovative insulation: DownWool® is a natural insulation from Germany made from 70% RDS-certified down and 30% wool and combines the advantages of both natural materials. The result is good insulation and a pleasant feel-good climate.

HOW THE UNIQUE DOWNWOOL® INSULATION WORKS

The natural high-end DownWool® insulation is a mixture of 70% high-quality RDS-certified down, which ensures high insulation, and 30% wool from the Alpine region, which acts as a light, natural air conditioner. The combination is perfect. Nothing insulates like high-quality down. The 30% wool content absorbs moisture and keeps the down naturally drier. Down has a very high insulation performance with a low weight. However, down only insulates as long as it is dry and fluffy. With increasing humidity, the fine ramifications of the down collapse, which significantly reduces the insulating effect of the down. For this reason, the down is often treated with water-repellent agents. With DownWool®, this is made superfluous by adding the wool content. Because wool can absorb up to 30% of its own weight in moisture - without losing its insulating effect. Furthermore, the wool is very temperature-regulating and creates a pleasant, comfortable microclimate in a natural way.
