Product description
Ideal for moving fast and with as little luggage as possible: the Mountain Equipment Vega Jacket! The down jacket is equipped with a down filling with fill power and breathability. Due to its chamber construction it keeps warm all around and stays in place. The outer material is downproof and windproof and water-repellent - this way the sensitive down is well protected! The warmly lined hood is helmet-compatible and ensures that the warmth won't be lost over the head. The Vega jacket is equipped with high placed front pockets so they don't interfere with the climbing harness! The front zip is lined with a storm flap and can conveniently also be opened from the lower end. Adjustable cuffs and a drawstring hem make for a great tailored fit, which keeps the cold wind outside! The Vega jacket is comfortably light, keeps reliably warm and looks great even in everyday use.

What do you think about that?
This is what other customers say:
Hi, would this down jacket be suitable for temperatures ranging from 0 degrees to -20 degrees (for example). Obviously at those temperatures you would be layering your clothing but as a primary coat/jacket would this be suitable for your outer wear? What is it like for wind-proofing your head and torso? Thank you
Hi David, In this case , it will be the Vega that will be the warmer. It may have less fill but it uses a significantly higher fill power. Better insulation equals more warmth.
Many thanks adrian

Hi Lyndon,
This will be ideal for your needs. Not too heavy, with a great fill power and plenty of it too. The windproof and highly water repellent outer will be sure to keep you cosy both around the head and the torso. The EXL lining in the hood will mean a very secure comfortable fit.
