Mountain Equipment Paiyu Men's Jacket

The Paiyu Jacket is a highly warm and compressible down-insulated jacket, perfect for mountaineering and climbing in colder climates. Its innovative design features a dual-layer offset baffle construction and an integrated reflective layer for enhanced thermal efficiency.

With its unique construction, the Paiyu Jacket offers exceptional warmth and protection that exceeds expectations. It’s designed for high-altitude peaks, multi-day ski trips, and extended adventures in freezing conditions, making it a reliable choice for extreme environments.

The dual-layer offset baffles eliminate cold spots in many jackets with traditional stitch-through construction. This provides extra warmth with only a slight increase in weight, while the heat-reflective inner fabric boosts thermal efficiency. Despite its high insulation, the jacket remains less bulky than most and has a similar warmth, allowing for easy movement even on the coldest days.

The Mountain HC Insulated Hood adds essential protection for exposed summit pushes and adjusts easily to fit with or without a helmet. The jacket also features a secure inner zip pocket and two large internal mesh pockets to keep essential gear and water from freezing in plummeting temperatures.

Technology

	Down Cycle The recycled down Mountain Equipment use comes entirely from post-consumer goods - unwanted clothing and bedding collected by waste recycling companies.
	Drilite Loft Drilite® Loft is Mountain Equipment's exclusive range of highly water-repellent fabrics used in their 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.
	Fair Wear As a member of Fair Wear, Mountain Equipment is committed to implementing the highest standards of working conditions.
	Down 700 Down is the finest insulator. 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.
