In short
Good for
- UK hillwalking, Alpine peaks and remote backpacking trips in uncertain conditions
Strengths
- 580 g listed weight, with 246 g (size L) of recycled Polarloft Featherless insulation
- Mountain Equipment says the fill avoids the rapid loss of insulation that down suffers in damp conditions
- Drilite Loft 40D outer that the maker calls completely windproof and highly weather-resistant
- Packs into its hand pocket with twin carabiner carry loops
Weaknesses
- The DWR finish only sheds rain and snow to keep the outer fabric drier for longer
- Mountain fit, so it is cut with room for extra layers
- Care label says tumble dry cool
