Mountain Equipment Baltoro Men's Jacket

At first glance, the Baltoro might look like just another down jacket, but its clever construction makes it a top performer in the mountains. It’s designed to handle serious use, offering more than meets the eye.

While most lightweight down jackets lose heat at the seams, the Baltoro solves that with a dual-layer offset baffle design and heat-reflective fabric. This boosts insulation without adding much weight, making it ideal for everything from ski tours to freezing rock climbs.

The cut is just as important, featuring a helmet-compatible hood and high collar that keep warmth in when the wind picks up and other jackets start to fail.

It packs down small into its own hand pocket, offering a powerful punch of warmth that’s easy to stash in your pack or clip onto a harness for whenever you need it.

Technology

	Fair Wear Fair Wear ensures that the clothing is produced under high standards that promote ethical working conditions.
	Down 700 Down is the finest insulator that Mountain Equipment has. Its warmth-to-weight ratio, compressibility, long lifespan, and softness are yet to be matched by manmade insulations. For all but the most serious expeditions, Duck Down is a great choice for both insulated clothing and equipment.
	Down Codex The DOWN CODEX® is a multi-award-winning certification scheme that considers the environmental, ethical and animal welfare matters relating to their down supply chains. It is grounded in comprehensive and transparent auditing that ensures traceability and quality.
	Drilite Loft Drilite® Loft is an exclusive range of highly water-repellent fabrics used in Mountain Equipment's insulated clothing and equipment. The original Drilite® Loft introduced almost 30 years ago, was years ahead of its time: a highly breathable, lightweight, and very water-repellent fabric. Those three hallmarks continue with their modern Drilite® Loft fabrics.
