Built for freezing conditions and serious mobility, the Mountain Equipment Lightline Men’s Vest delivers targeted core warmth without restricting your movement. Whether you’re layering up for alpine climbs, ski touring, or cold-weather treks, this insulated gilet combines technical performance with everyday practicality.

At the heart of the vest is premium 700-fill power Pure Down insulation, providing exceptional loft and thermal efficiency. The down is held in place by a stitched-through baffle construction that prevents migration, reducing the risk of cold spots in high-exposure areas like the chest and shoulders. All of the down used is certified under the DOWN CODEX© standard, ensuring full transparency and ethical sourcing throughout the supply chain.

Protection from the elements comes courtesy of the lightweight, windproof, and highly water-resistant Drilite® Loft outer shell. This fabric is specifically engineered to keep the elements at bay while allowing excess heat and moisture to escape—crucial when you’re working hard in cold conditions. It sheds light precipitation and blocks icy winds without compromising breathability, making it ideal for both standalone use and layering under a waterproof shell.

A dependable two-way YKK® moulded front zip is designed to resist ice build-up and is backed by an insulated internal baffle to retain heat. Two zipped handwarmer pockets offer secure, easy-access storage and comfort for cold fingers at rest stops, while an internal zipped security pocket keeps small essentials like keys or a GPS safe.

Finished with an adjustable hem to seal in warmth, the Lightline Men’s Vest provides a tailored fit that works equally well in high alpine environments and everyday winter wear. Highly packable and rugged enough for repeated use, it’s an essential core-layering piece for any mountain-focused wardrobe.
