Mountain Equipment Vega Mens Jacket

For more than 15 years, the Vega Mens Jacket from Mountain Equipment has shown what is possible when it comes to down clothing: a high-end jacket for lightweight, modern mountaineering. With its low weight, compact pack size and high degree of water repellency, it warms and protects on demanding alpine and mountain tours where the essentials matter. The high-quality 800 cuin goose down is strategically distributed throughout the jacket and stays in place thanks to the quilted chamber construction. This ensures optimum warmth without the down shifting and prevents cold bridges in sensitive areas such as the shoulders, chest and hood.
The lightweight and highly water-repellent DRILITE® Loft outer material allows the down to develop its full filling power to guarantee maximum warmth. At the same time, it protects against melting snow, ice and whipping spindrifts. DRILITE® Loft is completely windproof and breathable, ensuring thermal comfort even during intensive activities. The seam-free shoulder sections offer reliable waterproofing - even with a backpack.
The Active Alpine Fit is tailored to the dynamic needs of alpine mountaineering. No excess material or bulk to hinder activity or harness access - full freedom of movement whether you're shouldering a pack, swinging your ice tools or picking up your rope. The fixed, insulated hood features Mountain Equipment's patent-pending Firestorm construction. It combines quilted chambers with a special outer fabric to provide unparalleled protection from the elements in the most adverse conditions. The pleated Halo chamber around the face provides warmth and protection from icy wind and wind chill.
The two large stowage pockets are ideal for gloves, hats or other important items that need to be quickly to hand when out and about. Adjustable cuffs and a two-part width adjustment at the hem ensure an individual fit and additional protection from the cold and damp. The Vega Mens Jacket is the ideal choice for anyone who doesn't want to compromise on their alpine adventures.
