Indestructible Puffer Vest
Built from the same material as body armour and anti-ballistic vehicle armour.

- Entire outer body made from 100% Dyneema Black
- Outer body is highly abrasion and rip resistant
- Insulation made from recycled plastic bottles
The puffer vest is traditionally one of the weakest and most delicate pieces of clothing you can buy. So we’ve rebuilt it from the strongest fibre ever made. Weight for weight, every fibre on the outside of the vest is up to 15x stronger than steel. The material we’ve used is so tough you’ll also find it in body armour, anti-ballistic vehicle armour, mooring systems for giant container ships, and ropes used to tie down oil rigs in violent, icy seas.
The vest is insulated and triple-lined. It comes with a heavy-duty two-way zipper secured with a storm flap and metal press studs. And the insulation is built from mechanically-recycled plastic bottles that recreate the warmth, puffiness and structure of down.
Technical Details

The colder it gets the stronger it gets
The colder Dyneema gets, the stronger it gets, which is why it’s used to make the mooring lines on giant ships and deep-water oil rigs that have to perform in freezing seas. A mooring line on a winch buried under heavy ice on a ship sailing in extreme conditions simply can’t afford to fail. As the temperature drops down to -50°C the Dyneema ropes gain 5-10% strength. Projections show that the rope would gain even more strength if it dropped to -150°C.



Why normal puffer vests fail
Most puffer-vests are built to be as light as possible, so the outsides are typically made from super-lightweight polyester and nylon. The trade-off for this weight saving is that they are incredibly easy to tear and snag. And once you have a rip, or the seams have started to go, or the tiny spines of down have poked their way through the lightweight outer layer, it’s simply an escape hatch for the feathers inside, and the vest destroys itself from the inside out.



What the vest feels like
The outside of the vest feels like denim on a cold day. It’s soft and smooth to the touch, but you can still feel a light grain under your fingers. If you’ve ever come across ultra-lightweight Dyneema used in backpacks you’ll know it feels and sounds a bit like paper. But the material we use is simply a different species. It’s called Dyneema Black which is far stronger and far thicker because it’s spun then woven, and hasn’t been used for clothing before. The underside of the vest next to your skin is soft and lined.




SIze + Fit
The Indestructible Puffer Vest is designed with a loose fit, with plenty of room for other layers underneath. If you prefer a closer fit, we recommend you go for the size down.
