A warm winter jacket made with quality materials and traceable down that lives up to the high standard of Mountain Equipment gear.

Mountain Equipment says: 

Warm, light and almost unaffected by wind, rain and snow this is critical all-weather insulation for climbers and mountaineers.

Combining all-weather POLARLOFT® synthetic insulation with a weather resistant shell and a protective design, the Shelterstone thrives in challenging winter conditions whether worn as a belay jacket for climbing or overlayer for skiing and
hiking. Packing small enough to carry on big days it’s essential kit for remote locations

Our Verdict

Mountain Equipment’s Lightline Down Jacket is a very warm jacket with some excellent features. The two-way YKK zip is reliable and easy-to-use with winter gloves and there’s really good adjustment on the insulated hood.

The Lightline jacket has two very deep handwarmer pockets which will easily take large winter gloves.

With Mountain Equipment you can be sure that the down in your jacket is ethically sourced, you can see incredible detail about the down in the jacket you receive with the ‘Down Codex’. This is a database which shows where the down in your jacket came from, exactly what fill power it is and more.
