We've been big fans of the Tokyo-based brand 'Taion' for a few years now and with good reason too. Specialising in down-filled mid-layers with a military-inspired finish, Taion is a welcome addition to the Universal Works roster.
The 'Packable Down Vest' features a classic v-neck neck collar, with a six press-stud front, side zips to aid movement, and concealed zip side pockets. Taion has used a high-quality duck down with a fill power of 800; fill power measures the loftiness and quality of a down product with a general rating from 300 of 900. The higher the fill power, the less feathers are needed to keep you warm, which also helps keep the vest compressible too. The jacket is finished in a classic water-resistant ripstop nylon with military-inspired onion-quilting reminiscent of army liners.
