Mountain Equipment Baltoro Jacket

It is very light and packable in its own pocket, while its thermal insulation is comparable to much heavier down jackets. With the waterproof DRILITE® Loft outer material, you can wear the BALTORO JACKET even in poor conditions with the confidence that the down will not immediately become wet and lose its thermal insulation properties.

The DRILITE® Loft 20D waterproof outer membrane allows high loft of the down for maximum thermal comfort.
162 g (size L) of duck feathers with a 90/10 ratio and 700 cuin fill.
Unique "Double layer offset baffle construction". No cold seams.
Internal heat reflective material for even better thermal properties of the jacket.
Each chamber is filled separately with a precisely defined amount of down for optimal insulation.
Fully adjustable insulated Mountain HC Hood with elasticated hem, helmet compatible.
High-quality YKK® two-way zipper with internal flap to prevent heat leakage.
Two insulated zippered pockets.
One chest pocket.
Inner zipped chest pocket and mesh inner pocket.

A down jacket with a unique offset chamber design
The new patented "Double layer offset baffle construction" allows for much better thermal insulation properties than conventional quilted chambers, where most heat escapes through the cold seams. The basis of this construction is a very lightweight, heat-reflective inner fabric to which the seams of the individual opposing chambers are sewn to interlock.

DRILITE® Loft 20 D - water and wind resistant
DRILITE® Loft 20 D is a strong and lightweight waterproof surface material with PU coating. It is highly breathable and water and wind resistant. It also has a DWR water repellent treatment on the surface, which further helps the down to stay dry even in wet conditions. This protects the down from getting wet and therefore from losing its thermal insulation properties. Thanks to its waterproofness and low weight, the down retains a high loft for maximum thermal insulation in all conditions.

Lightweight material - 36 g/m2.
Highly breathable.
Windproof.
Water resistant - 1 500 mm.
Made in Japan.
The golden mean when choosing a lightweight down jacket.
The BALTORO JACKET is more windproof, has fewer cold spots and therefore much better thermal insulation compared to traditional quilted jackets. For a good price/performance ratio you get the reward of a real portion of warmth and comfort.

DOWN CODEX® - the symbol of ethical animal husbandry
DOWN CODEX® stands for the control of the origin of feathers, their quality, ethical and ecological approach to animal husbandry. Each year, the farms from which Mountain Equipment purchases feathers are inspected by the independent Swiss organization IDFL to ensure they meet the highest quality parameters. This guarantees high quality animal welfare and therefore the quality of the feathers. One does not work without the other.

Each feather product has a unique code to trace the origin of the feathers and their parameters.
A comprehensive and transparent system for auditing the origin of feathers, from all brands and anywhere in the world.
In Mountain Equipment products, feathers are always only a by-product of meat or egg farming.
