Outside online recently featured First Ascent in two great gear reviews. The Peak XV Down Jacket was highlighted in the Winter Buyer’s Guide and Sam Moulton, from The Outside Blog, named the Downlight Sweater the best down jacket in Gear Hall of Fame: The Top 10 Winter Products. Check out what the experts had to say.
Outside Magazine online featured a six-page spread on the First Ascent- sponsored Arctic Surf expedition. The article chronicles the month-long journey of the six professional surfers as they braved the 30-to-40 degree Fahrenheit waters off Lofoten Islands, the southern portion of a secluded archipelago in northwestern Norway, in search of untamed waves and undiscovered breaks.

From puffies and shells to insulating layers, First Ascent captured the attention of Outside magazine’s Winter Buyer’s Guide.
Mountain Guide Jacket
“This water-resistant, quick-drying shell is lightweight but still roomy enough to layer underneath.”
Bat Hang Hoodie
“A piece we kept coming back to: it’s soft, moisture-wicking, and quick-drying and has a hood for extra warmth.”
Peak XV Down Jacket
“Easily the warmest jacket here, the XV is absolutely stuffed with top-tier down (850 fill) and wrapped in a tougher-than-average DWR nylon shell. It’s a bit heavier–but a lot burlier–than other down jackets we tested.”
