A few years ago we built The Indestructible Puffer. It was designed to prevent the kind of end of life scenarios that end most puffers. Kittens, twigs, children, sharp corners, backpacks, or the passing of time. While it remains the strongest puffer jacket ever built by a very long way, it’s also a beast – the clothing equivalent of climbing into a tank. So The Indestructible Puffer Lightweight edition is designed to be the lightweight, sport version of that.
 
The engineering brief behind it was to keep as much of The Indestructible Puffer’s strength as possible, while losing as much of the weight as we could. So we’ve worked with the same material technology – Dyneema® – an ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene that’s so strong it’s used as anti-ballistic missile protection on the side of tanks, but so light that it floats on water.
 
But instead of using it as one thick, impenetrable and badass layer, we’ve woven thousands of strands of 50-denier Dyneema® fibre just two millimetres apart over the surface of the entire jacket to create a protective grid that reinforces every part of the puffer. The puffer is lightweight, waterproof, and stronger than anything in its weight category. So it’s designed to stand up to the kinds of abuse you’ll encounter on the toughest adventures out in the wilderness. (This does not yet include bullets, knives, or dumb back-yard tests when you’ve had a couple of beers.)
