Trim fit | Size & Fit Guide

Lots of high elevation passes on this next trip? Cooler temps in the forecast? Maybe you’re looking to spend the day at camp, or just can’t seem to stay warm out there. Sounds like a warmer UL puffy is beckoning.

The Katabatic Tincup is designed, shaped, and filled to amp up the warmth while maintaining the thoughtful details of our Tarn. With fill-to-weight ratios averaging over 48%, the Tincup will make the list for all your chillier adventures. Check out all the features and details in the tabs below.

Trim fit: Designed for use over a light baselayer or midlayer. If you are near the cusp on sizes and would like to be able to use it over a warmer/bulkier layer, or prefer a roomier fit, you’ll want to size up.

Responsibly Sourced Down
Like many of our customers, we at Katabatic Gear are concerned with the environmental and animal welfare impact of our products. We are dedicated to a responsibly sourced, and very high quality product, just like our down supplier, Allied Feather and Down. They are certified through both the bluesign® and Responsible Down Standard® programs.

850+ Fill Power HyperDRY™ Down
We use the highest quality 850+ fill power HyperDRY™ hydrophobic down. Why choose down over synthetic insulation? Down is significantly more compressible, while still offering more generous loft and superior warmth to weight ratio. Additionally, synthetic insulation breaks down faster over the life of the product, losing loft and warmth more quickly than down. As a result, a down-filled product will stay in your kit longer, and out of the landfill, making down a better value and better choice for the environment.

Pertex Quantum Eco Ripstop (10 Denier, .85 oz/yd)
The best fabric you’ll find for the shell of an ultralight down jacket.
1. Keeps your insulation drier: Best DWR we’ve tested
2. Keeps your insulation loftier: Lightweight, soft, breathable, and downproof
3. Reduces demand for raw materials: Eco version of Pertex Quantum is made from recycled yarns and maintains the fabric’s advanced performance qualities
Pertex Quantum Taffeta (20 Denier, 1.0 oz/yd)
This Pertex Quantum plain weave makes for a silky soft liner fabric on the inside of our down jackets. We get tons of customer feedback stating that it’s the most comfortable performance fabric to ever brush up against them – not as clammy or crinkly as other fabrics.
Sustainability

Why yes, we do think it matters. It matters a lot!

From the fine details to big picture goals, we know our decisions about materials, partnerships, and daily operations can have far reaching effects outside this building. Climate change affects us all. It is personal. We have more progress to make, but here are a few ways we currently prioritize sustainability.
1. Reduce demand for raw materials
2. Reduce the use of harmful chemicals
3. Reduce our carbon footprint and waste in landfills
While Katabatic Gear is committed to making UL gear that exceeds your expectations, it is equally important that we minimize our negative impact on the planet and its occupants. Whether it’s a special place in the backcountry, or the city you live in, we want to do our part to maintain healthy land, air, and water to keep this a comfy home for all. Though ours is not a perfect plan, we will continue to search for ways to improve our sustainability efforts, and minimize the impact of our operations on the planet.

Future Design Suggestion

It would be great to see a future iteration of this jacket with a helmet-compatible hood. Such a feature probably doesn't speak to your current market, but given the quality, weight, and design of your jackets, adding a helmet-compatible hood would meet the needs of another large market of outdoor enthusiasts. The specs on these down jackets beat even those of the Euro climbing gear companies, and I think you'd see a lot of eager users. Plus, I'd really like one :). KG bags are the best bags I've used in 30 years, hands-down.

This is this best winter puffy ever made for moderate conditions

Warm and light!

The jacket is very light and warm. I am in Chicago and the winters can be brutal and so far I've been using it without zipping it as it gets super warm. Looking forward to test it once we hit the negatives (F)! One suggestion I have for the Katabatic team is to add inside pockets for the next gen. I do feel I am missing those.

I sized up due to it's tighter fit and it fits good. It's a great jacket and is quality made by a quality company. Stitch work was good. Materials are solid.

Best Value I found

This jacket has so much more fill than similarly priced products of major brands that its not even the same category of product. Its also lighter and more well built. It got down to about 25 degrees F and I couldn’t wear the jacket and be in the sleeping bag because I was sweating. My only suggestion is add a drop pocket to a future iteration of the Tin Cup.
