When it comes to down parkas, serious warmth usually means serious bulk. In other words, yes, you stay toasty, but you also look and feel like a walking marshmallow. Artilect’s down gear is different. Built for top of the mountain adventures – which is appropriate, given the brand’s roots are in Boulder, Colorado, a few miles from the foothills of the famous Rockies – this premium parka employs cutting edge fabrics and fills to deliver wearable warmth. It’s stuffed with 700FP active-dry down, housed in stretch woven baffles, with zoned EMPEL superhydrophobic overlays. The result is a highly weatherproof and incredibly flexible hooded jacket that delivers instant warmth in the highest places. As for the ‘AF’ appellation, the brand is a little coy on what that stands for. Alpine Focused? Always Functional? Something else? You decide…

Hailing from Boulder, Colorado, Artilect is a brand moulded by its environment. Nestled in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains, their gear is built to keep you warmer, drier and more comfortable than anything else out there, even in the fiercest wind, cold and rain.
To do this, they’ve drawn on cutting-edge technologies from the leading suppliers of performance fabrics, insulation and components, creating truly technical, all-weather apparel. This includes world firsts like particle gold bonded down fill, YKK Touchlink zips and ultra-durable water repellent finishes. This unrelenting focus on innovation is combined with decades of experience in the outdoor and snowsports world. Essentially, they’ve taken the best of the old and blended it with the best of the new.
Sustainability is also at the heart of the brand. They use recycled fabrics alongside technical membranes and finishes that are free form harmful chemistry. But more than that, the range is built with superior long-term durability and repairability and mind. In essence? They create products that last, from quality materials that minimise environmental impacts. As a result, Artilect systems maximise moisture management, thermoregulation, freedom of movement, comfort and swagger – from the peaks to the streets.
