Strafe Outerwear, known for its innovative mountain gear, has launched its first-ever down jacket the Palisade Down Insulator ahead of Fall/Winter 2025-26. This new piece blends high performance with deep sustainability commitments through partnerships with Pertex, NetPlus, and Allied Feather + Down.
Designed as a versatile layering piece, the Palisade offers lightweight warmth and durability. It features NetPlus recycled nylon, derived from discarded fishing nets collected from coastal communities, helping reduce ocean plastic while supporting local economies. The material has a fully traceable supply chain, verified by third-party audits.
The jacket’s outer shell is reinforced with Pertex Diamond Fuse fabric, known for abrasion resistance and packability. Inside, it’s insulated with 800-fill power goose down from Allied Feather + Down, which is RDS and GRS certified, ensuring ethically sourced and traceable materials. This down is also treated with ExpeDRY technology by Fuze, a gold-particle innovation that accelerates drying and boosts moisture control, ideal for dynamic mountain conditions.
Pia Halloran, VP of Product & Design at Strafe, said the goal was to merge cutting-edge materials with functional design, delivering superior warmth and fit while minimizing environmental impact. Further supporting this vision, the Palisade is completely PFAS-free, eliminating harmful water-repellent chemicals without sacrificing performance.
Available in men’s and women’s sizes, the Palisade Down Insulator will hit shelves at select retailers and online at strafeouterwear.com for FW 2025-26, marking a significant milestone in Strafe’s evolution toward responsible innovation.
