Mountain Equipment Mens Lumin Down Jacket Cobalt

Product Description

The  Lumin  Jacket is new to M.E. for winter 2014, & it is the warmest in their lightweight down jacket range. This is thanks to the ultra-compressible & lightweight He (Helium) 30 fabric, the high loft baffle construction & the WR  Down 675 that fills it. The use of down ensures the best warmth to weight ratio & compressibility of any other forms of insulation. WR  Down does not mean you can now wear your down jacket in the rain! It means that the down resists the absorption of moisture therefore increasing the downs performance when it comes to wicking moisture away from your body. Unless your down jacket states that is 100% waterproof, it is still only suitable for cold dry conditions. The  Lumin has an adjustable Light Dome HC (Helmet Compatible) Hood. The Light Dome hood isn’t designed for all-day helmet use but will do the job when absolutely necessary. M.E. only uses Down Codex Audited Animal Welfare approved sources for all their Down filled products marked with the Down Codex Stamp.
