The jacket features a 700-fill down insulation, a regular fit, and is constructed with a Pertex Shield outer and Stratus synthetic insulated hood and cuffs. It is ideal for general use and hill walking.

Check for any damage to the outer layer. Ensure the hood and cuffs are properly adjusted. Re-apply a durable water repellent (DWR) treatment if necessary.
