Women’s Mountain Trekking Sleeveless Down Gilet - MT500

Our team of trekking enthusiasts has designed this down and feather gilet for trekking comfortably in cool weather. #### Why wear a down gilet? A gilet helps to keep the body warm. It protects the chest, neck and kidneys as these areas are especially sensitive to chills. It’s sleeveless so it saves weight in your backpack, provides even more breathability during exercise and excellent comfort of movement when worn under a jacket. Worn underneath the MT100 down jacket, it can provide 6°C extra warmth when compared to a down jacket worn without the gilet. #### The advantages of a duck down and feather filling The filling power of down has 3 advantages for mountain sports:- Thermal insulation thanks to the air trapped in the down and feathers- Ultra low weight: down is lighter than synthetic wadding while offering the same degree of warmth. This saves even more weight in your backpack- Ultra-compressible #### Inflating Power of down/feather filling The fill power is a measure of the down's thermal insulation capacity and its potential to ""trap"" air. It is expressed in CUIN (cubic inches). So, down with a higher fill power (higher CUIN number) will occupy more space, trap more air and provide greater thermal insulation.For this sleeveless down jacket, with its 85% down/15% feather filling, the fill power is guaranteed to be 660 CUIN or more (international standard). #### Weight of the filling S: 67 gM: 71 gL: 75 gXL: 80 gXXL: 85 gXXXL: 93 g #### How to care for a down and feather gilet?
