Giving you an instant hit of extreme warmth when you need it whilst keeping your arms free for climbing, this body mapped gilet is perfect for winter mountain ascents.
Ultralight construction, the best, high lofting insulation, and body mapped technology, give this down gilet an extremely high warmth to weight ratio. We’ve used ultra-warm 900FP down around the core and zoned PrimaLoft® Gold insulation on the shoulders. This synthetic fill is not only warm but provides highly efficient breathability for when you’re moving quickly. Fast drying and robust, it’s perfectly suited to the shoulders, which may be exposed to changeable weather or be required to withstand the abrasion of heavy pack straps.
The tough, lightweight Pertex® Quantum outer and lining is built with a ripstop to prevent tears and resist scrapes from rock and ice. Finished with a fluorocarbon-free DWR, this 100% recycled fabric sheds light rain and snow and the lightweight stitch-through construction not only minimises weight but provides further breathability. Slim fitting, low bulk, and highly compressible it’s easy to stash in a pack or layer under other gear. When temperatures plummet and you need complete mobility, this high-performance vest won’t let you down.
How to measure.
Chest: Measure the full circumference of your chest just below your armpits.
Waist: Find the top of your hip and measure the full circumference around your body.
Arm length: Measure horizontally from the centre of your back, across the shoulder, over a naturally bent elbow and down to the wrist fold.
While all our garments are sized to these measurements, you will find that the cut on jackets designed for use in more extreme environments will be slightly more generous in the expectation that these designs will be used with additional/thicker midlayers. If you plan on using a jacket like this with fewer layers beneath it, please keep this in mind when selecting your size.
All garments are designed and fitted to suit their intended end use. See below for a general description of our fit categories:
Regular: Neither slim nor loose. Regular fit items are the perfect balance of form fit and ease of movement.
Slim: A streamlined silhouette. Cut trim following the contours of the body. Expertly placed articulation of seams and the use of stretch fabric ensure maximum freedom of movement in these close-fitting items.
Relaxed: Our more generous fit. Cut loosely through the body allowing for ease of movement and additional layering.
Expedition: Designed specifically to accommodate the layering system and equipment required for high altitude and polar expeditions.
