A revolution in down construction, the MicroTherm Down Jacket is the ideal weight for packing or using as a mid, last, or emergency layer. The 700-fill Premium European Goose Down insulation traps core heat, while a new recycled ripstop polyester shell fabric, treated with our StormRepel® DWR finish, sheds light precip.
The next generation of pack innovation. We took the expandable design of our award-winning Alchemist and built this new pack with non-woven fabric. The CTF³ monofilament fiber and welded construction deliver best-in-class performance for strength, light weight, and weather resistance. Expandable from 40 to 55 liters. Delrin compression rails balance loads. Removable BFF framesheet serves as emergency bivy pad.
Guide built by some of the best in the industry, the Haines pack is built for day trips in the back country to long term traverse and multiday use. Expandable like our Alchemist pack, the Haines has the ability to grow to 45L to carry larger loads into a camp or hut, but also shrink down to 35L carry the essentials for accessing your favorite line.
This waterproof/breathable ski and snowboard jacket was built by three of our world-class freeskiers, Drew Tabke, KC Deane, and Andy Mahre, to meet their unique needs, which are different from those of our heli-ski guides. Forward placement of venting zips for gathering air while going down hills. Brighter shell colors (for filming and competing). Interior thumbhole loops on gusseted cuffs for clean lines.
If you are a fan of both Eddie Bauer and outdoor individuality, you know that last week we announced the launch of our first-of-its-kind customizable down jacket, the brand’s iconic MicroTherm. As part of the launch we granted our guide and athlete team early access to the customizer, letting them loose to build exactly what they've always wanted. The results were all over the map from safe, single alpine colorways to camo-pattern mash-ups that are clearly not intended to blend in. But our biggest surprise was being on location in Taos, New Mexico—the hometown of Eddie Bauer guide and 15-time Everest summit record holder Dave Hahn—when his Custom MicroTherm FedEx package arrived. For folks who don’t know, the highly respected Everest guide is colorblind and his design results were, well, a bit mixed. But he is also a very good sport and broke down his Custom experience for us with a straight face and a serious message about Customizing Responsibly.
