Adhering to the brand's sustainable fashion commitment, both Buck Mason items are made from a [100% recycled nylon shell](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/everpuff), which comes treated with a water-resistant coating. In addition, the pieces contain what the brand describes as "responsible down" -- a 650 fill-power duck down insulation supplied by the sustainability-focused retailer [Allied Feather + Down](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/templa-1). The Cascade Jacket comes equipped with a detachable down hood, zip and snap pocket closures, drawcords at the hood and waist, and fleece-lined pockets designed to keep wearers' hands warm. Meanwhile, the Cascade Vest delivers similar winterized features but with a more relaxed fit through the chest and shoulders.
