Packable down warmth

One layer. So many reasons to bring it.

Pull it on at a chilly summit, over your layers at the crag, or on the walk home. The 2026 Microlight combines recycled down with a soft Pertex® Quantum outer made with NetPlus® recycled fishing-net yarn, bringing dependable warmth in a layer that is easy to carry.

FAQs

A few helpful answers.

The details to help you choose with confidence.

Is the Microlight waterproof?

No. Its windproof outer has a water-repellent finish, and the down has a hydrophobic treatment, but it is an insulating layer rather than a waterproof shell. Wear a waterproof jacket over it in sustained rain.

What is different about this 2026 model?

The 2026 hoody uses Pertex® Quantum with NetPlus® recycled fishing-net yarn, 700FP recycled down and zoned baffles. It packs into an integrated hand pocket.

Can I wear it under a waterproof jacket?

Yes. Its low-bulk construction works as a warm layer beneath a suitably sized shell. Leave enough room for the down to loft and for you to move comfortably.

Does it come with a separate stuff sack?

This model packs into one of its own zipped hand pockets. The integrated pocket has a clip loop, so you do not need a separate stuff sack.

Which size should I choose?

Start with your body measurements in the size guide. Consider the layers you will wear underneath, and check that the shoulders and sleeves allow comfortable reach without compressing the insulation.

How should I care for it?

Follow the sewn-in care label for washing and drying. Let the jacket dry completely and store it uncompressed between trips so the down can retain its loft.

Great Jacket. I recommend you go up a size I’m normally a UK M but I got a UK L as the smaller size is a bit snug.
