Ideal for: Mountaineering, Everyday

Weight: 430g

Based on Mountain Equipment's best-selling Lightline Jacket, the Lightline Men’s Vest provides exceptional core warmth for when you need maximum mobility in freezing conditions.

 

The Lightline Vest uses 700-fill power Pure Down held in place by stitched-through baffle construction to optimise warmth and prevent down migration that can lead to cold spots, particularly in vulnerable areas such as the shoulders and chest.. All of Mountain Equipment's down is minimally treated and is DOWN CODEX© approved, meaning it’s sourced through a transparent and carefully audited supply chain.

 

The lightweight and highly water-resistant Drilite© Loft outer fabric allows the down to loft to its full potential, providing maximum warmth while protecting against melting snow and howling spindrift. Drilite© Loft offers complete wind resistance and excellent breathability, keeping you warm and comfortable even in the most severe conditions.

 

A reliable two-way YKK moulded centre zip is resilient against ice build-up and is reinforced by an internal baffle to seal in heat. Internally, a zipped security pocket stores essentials, while two hand warmer pockets keep fingers toasty at camp or store items requiring quick access when moving.
