DRILITE® Loft 30 D – resistant to water and wind
DRILITE® Loft 30 D is a strong and light waterproof surface material with a PU coating. It is highly breathable and resistant to water and wind. It also has a water-repellent DWR treatment on the surface, which further contributes to keeping the feathers dry even in wet conditions. The feathers are thus protected from getting wet, and thus also from losing their heat-insulating properties. Thanks to its water resistance and low weight, the feathers maintain a high loft for maximum thermal insulation in any conditions.

The best goose down on the market - 800+ fill
800 cuin goose down from Eastern Europe is the best down available on the market. It contains at least 90% down and each batch is individually tested to meet the 800 cuin fill and to meet all the conditions of the ethical DOWN CODEX®.

Goose feathers are gently cleaned with water without chemical treatment. This destroys the mites and the environment for their life, which is especially appreciated by allergy sufferers. The feathers retain their important fatness and loft, are packable well, have high insulation and low weight.

235 g of goose feathers.
Minimum filling 800+ cuin.
Down ratio 90:10
Complies with DOWN CODEX®.
Long life.

235 g of feathers is all an alpinist needs
Each chamber and its shape is precisely designed for its purpose and maximum insulation. In addition, the exact amount of feathers, which are filled into each chamber separately, is also calculated per gram. VEGA JACKET is filled with the highest quality goose down 90/10 with a filling of 800 cuin. In total, the jacket contains 235 g, which is enough to provide excellent thermal comfort in truly extreme conditions.

Perfect fit for demanding conditions
The perfectly crafted Half Dome HC Hood immediately catches your eye. It is fully compatible with a helmet and, thanks to the elastic seams, it fits perfectly even without a helmet. If you fasten the two-way YKK® zipper all the way up, your face is perfectly protected by the high collar. The entire head area is designed so that you have full mobility and comfort of movement when belaying on the stand and can watch your partner carefully. Every detail is thought of here. The drawstrings of the hood are sewn into the channels so that they don't bother you in the wind.

The jacket is longer and the last chamber has a special shape that closes the space around the waist and minimizes heat loss.
The lower hem can still be pulled down with the help of ingenious laces, the use of which is really intuitive.

The VEGA JACKET has two outer YKK® zipper pockets and one inner pocket.
The VEGA JACKET has an Alpine Fit cut, so you won't have a problem temporarily wearing a jacket over all the matros on the seat at the stand.
You can then easily pack the entire jacket in the textile bag that is part of the package.
