Leave your shell behind on cold, wet hikes and winter adventures. The Microlight Shield Jacket is built to keep you warm and bone dry, streamlining your kit list by doing the job of both a waterproof and a down jacket. It’s armed with a 2-layer Pertex® Shield waterproof outer, which holds its own against the elements without weighing you down. We’ve placed the 700FP down in strategically positioned smaller and larger baffles. This optimises warmth for weight and minimises bulk under your arms, leaving you free to move unhindered over mountain terrain. With a highly durable, repairable construction to keep it in action for many adventures to come, the Microlight Shield Jacket is your ultimate ally in wet, cold, and wintery conditions.
How to measure.
Chest: Measure the full circumference of your chest just below your armpits.
Waist: Find the top of your hip and measure the full circumference around your body.
Arm length: Measure horizontally from the centre of your back, across the shoulder, over a naturally bent elbow and down to the wrist fold.
While all our garments are sized to these measurements, you will find that the cut on jackets designed for use in more extreme environments will be slightly more generous in the expectation that these designs will be used with additional/thicker midlayers. If you plan on using a jacket like this with fewer layers beneath it, please keep this in mind when selecting your size.
All garments are designed and fitted to suit their intended end use. See below for a general description of our fit categories:
Regular: Neither slim nor loose. Regular fit items are the perfect balance of form fit and ease of movement.
Slim: A streamlined silhouette. Cut trim following the contours of the body. Expertly placed articulation of seams and the use of stretch fabric ensure maximum freedom of movement in these close-fitting items.
Relaxed: Our more generous fit. Cut loosely through the body allowing for ease of movement and additional layering.
Expedition: Designed specifically to accommodate the layering system and equipment required for high altitude and polar expeditions.
