    Our most popular jacket, the Lightline, sees use all over the world on every day of the year. From the summit of Kilimanjaro to Himalayan treks and freezing days in mountain towns, it’s a jacket that’s relied upon for warmth and protection as the temperature drops.

    With 245g of high quality down fill in a size 12 it gives the insulation needed in the most exposed situations whilst retaining the packability for extended expeditions through fast changing conditions. All of our down is minimally treated and DOWN CODEX® approved, meaning it’s sourced through a carefully audited supply chain.

    Lightweight and highly water resistant DRILITE® Loft outer fabric allows the down to loft to its full potential, providing maximum warmth while protecting it against melting snow, ice and pouring spindrift. DRILITE® Loft also offers complete wind resistance and excellent breathability, keeping you warm and comfortable. As with all jackets of this type it’s not waterproof but it thrives in sub-zero conditions.

    The fully insulated Mountain Hood offers substantial extra warmth and protection but is easily removed for less serious adventures and the high collar and adjustable hem seal out icy winds.

    Two hand warmer pockets thaw frozen fingers and there’s a further zipped internal pocket to keep crucial items secure.
