This is a true icon when it comes to the history of functional outdoor clothes. TheRocky Mountain Featherbed vest was originally made back in the 1960's and the idea was to take the traditional western style garments and combine them with the newtechnical materials to make outdoor garments for a new era to be worn bylovers of the great outdoors. The jacket made of sturdy nylon filled with down combined with theCowboy aesthetic using a typical western shoulder yoke became a hit and could soon be seen in every other ski slope!
The original Rocky Mountain brand made their last garments in the mid to late eighties and we are happy that the Japanese manufacturer35 Summers Co gave new life to the brand in 2005.
The body of this jacket is made of nylon and and the filling is down, it has two large lower pockets with pocket flaps and the space behind the pockets servesas hand warmer pockets as well. Higher up you got two slanted chest pockets with zippers. A large back pocket and draw strings at the waist, around the hood and at the lower edge that can be used to wear it with atighter fit. There are two inner pockets with zippers and a down filled hood that will ensure you stay warm. The jacket closes with a two way YKK zipper and brasssnap buttons to make sure that the cold winds wont getthrough. The velcro at the cuffs can be used to tighten the opening. The jacket has theiconicyoke made of brownhorsehide leather. If the weather turns nasty and wet the waterproof three layer nylon surface material will keep you dry.
It's quite surprising how light yet warming this jacket is. The explanation is that the nylon taffeta works like down packs, enabling the tri-layered structure of fabric, down and then nylon fabric again.
It significantly lightens the garment while improving the insulation.
