Lightweight warmth for exposed alpine objectives

The Mountain Equipment Baltoro Down Jacket is a technical insulated layer built with DRILITE® LOFT 20D outer fabric, 162g of 90/10 700 fill power duck down, and a unique dual-layer offset baffle construction. Designed for mountaineers, ski tourers and climbers, it delivers enhanced thermal efficiency, compact packability and dependable weather protection for demanding mountain environments. The helmet-compatible hood and reflective thermal technology help maintain comfort when conditions become cold, windy and exposed.

Performance & Engineering

• Dual-Layer Offset Baffle Construction: Engineered with a double-layer offset baffle design that eliminates cold spots caused by stitched seams, delivering more consistent insulation during exposed alpine ascents and winter climbing days.

• Efficient Down Insulation: Built with 162g (Size L) of 90/10 700 fill power duck down, providing an excellent balance of warmth, low weight and packability for multi-day ski touring and remote mountain objectives.

• Reflective Thermal Technology: Designed with a reflective internal scrim that helps retain body heat by reflecting warmth back towards the wearer, increasing thermal efficiency without significant additional bulk.

• DRILITE® LOFT Weather Protection: Utilises DRILITE® LOFT 20D fabric with a durable water-repellent (DWR) finish to provide complete windproof protection and dependable resistance to snow, spindrift and light moisture.

• Mountain-Focused Design: Combines an Insulated Mountain HC Hood, insulated collar, 2-way YKK® Vislon® centre front zip with insulated baffle, and adjustable hem drawcords to maximise comfort and protection in demanding mountain conditions.

Care & Longevity

Hand wash or machine wash at 30°C using liquid detergent or a specialist down cleaner. Tumble dry on a low heat with a slow spin speed and store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Avoid high-temperature washing or drying, and always follow the manufacturer's care guidance to maintain down loft, thermal performance and the DWR treatment.
