Materials
DriLite Loft - Uses a polyurethane membrane bonded to the reverse of a face fabric to provide greatly improved water resistance, exceeding a hydrostatic head of 1500mm. Weighing 55g/m2, it is ideal for protecting high quality down and synthetic insulations.
800FP Goose Down – Mountain Equipment’s goose down is among the very finest downs in the world. Sourced from Western Russia, with a down cluster content exceeding 90%. It is individually batch-tested to ensure its fill power exceeds 800, and it regularly exceeds 850. Confirms to The Down Codex Scheme, allowing the down to be completely traceable all the way back to the farm.

A closer look
The box wall baffle construction throughout the jacket allows the down to fully loft throughout the chambers, allowing for even distribution of down and vastly reducing the likelihood of cold spots.
The fully adjustable, helmet compatible hood ensures you can stay protected and the adjustable cuffs and dual tether hem drawcord ensures the perfect fit. The front, 2-way YKK moulded centre front zip is backed by an offset insulated baffle and two hand warmer, and a chest pocket with easy-to-use moulded zips help to keep your essentials organised. This jacket also features an internal stretch mesh water bottle holder and a large zipped mesh inner pocket.
Mountain Equipment's EXL system - Extra Warmth and Extra Loft - has also been incorporated into the hood and back of the jacket to make this jacket as thermally efficient as possible by minimising dead airspace around the body and pulling the fabric away from the down, allowing it to loft to full effect.
