Key Features Explained
The synthetic insulation is described as more resilient in damper conditions than down. The shell is described as windproof and water-resistant, but no protection rating is specified; water resistance should not be taken to mean waterproofing.
The regular fit is intended to leave room for baselayers. The rear hem adjustment is designed to sit securely under a harness or backpack. Check how the jacket fits with the layers and equipment you plan to wear.
What to Compare Before Buying
- Size: This is the XL version. The stated 74 cm centre-back length applies to Medium, not XL, so check the size guide for the relevant measurement.
- Weather protection: Consider whether the stated windproof and water-resistant properties suit your needs. Check for a specific rating if you require a defined level of protection.
- Layering and equipment: Check the regular fit over your intended baselayers and how the rear hem adjustment sits with your harness or backpack.
Who This Product May Suit

Before You Decide
