HyperDRY™ Water Resistant Down
ALLIED’s HyperDRY™ Water Resistant Down allows the Alpine 850 Down Jacket to provide extreme performance in unpredictable conditions. Regular untreated down can wet-out and struggle to retain warmth when wet, HyperDRY™ down is incredibly hydrophobic, helping prevent the down structure from collapsing due to absorbing water. This allows the down to retain its loft and warmth for longer when damp, while also allowing it to dry much quicker.
The treatment of the down works in the same way as traditional DWR’s. HyperDRY™ is entirely fluorocarbon-free and has been designed to utilise less water and chemical processing compared to traditional treatments.
850+ fill power. Maximum warmth at minimal weight
The fill power measurement in down tells us how much loft and strength the down clusters have, and therefore how much air (and warmth) they can trap. With a 850+ fill power the down utilised in the Alpine 850 provides exceptional warmth for the weight, utilising larger down clusters that are capable of trapping more air. This high fill power means the Alpine 850 provides greater warmth compared to other jackets of the same weight, making it the perfect choice for when maximum insulation at minimal weight is essential.

I stumbled across this jacket while looking at down jackets online. Having owned the Anti-Freeze XT for a couple years and having been very impressed with it, it didn’t take me long to decide to pull the trigger on this.
As expected the design, materials and construction quality are world class, and a huge upgrade for me is the beautifully soft and silky 8D nylon used for the zip guard rather the usual fleece material (that stuff sticks to short stubble like Velcro and eventually shows signs of wear) which was the only thing I wasn’t keen on with the XT. I think if I designed a jacket myself it would be pretty close to this.
Like the XT the cut is fantastic and exactly what I look for in a belay/static insulation jacket - enough room for thick layers underneath without being overly bulky. One of the less obvious but big advantages of this is that because it’s not overly bulky you can wear it in your sleeping bag to seriously increase the warmth of your sleep system (thus reducing the size of sleeping bag you need to carry around).
I bought the montbell mirage at the same time just to compare them and I decided to go for this over the mirage - so anyone familiar with montbell (considered by many to produce some of best down jackets/products in the world) will know what a huge compliment that is. All in all a near perfectly executed down belay jacket. 10/10 🏆
P.S the listing said that the weight is 460g for a men’s medium - its actually 405g :)
