The new Blanket Down Cape once again proves that Arc’teryx System_A is one of those brands that push the boundaries of outdoor apparel design while maintaining a high standard of performance. Described as “essentially a deconstructed down jacket,” the Blanket Down Cape boasts a cozy-looking silhouette that is perfect for camping and other outdoor activities. Some might even decide to sport the piece in the urban environment—many public figures have turned to caped aesthetics, including A$AP Rocky.
The Blanket Down Cape boasts a high-quality down-feather fill (90% down and 10% feather) in combination with a water-repellent 7D Arato fabric shell. The latter is an important treatment as down loses its warming capabilities once it is wet. The silhouette has a press-stud closure and even a zip pocket on the breast.
