Mountain Equipment Men’s Lightline Down Jacket

The jacket arrived just in time for Storm Darragh and the -8 predicted wind temperatures. I kept regulated warm throughout the day, stayed dry, decent-sized pockets. The drawstring on the bottom of the jacket and velcro fasteners on cuffs stopped any cold from getting through. Excellent performance in the 1st week, this will be on my back throughout the winter!

Fits perfect and is nice and warm

Really pleased with this jacket which has replaced a North Face puffer jacket. It's extremely well padded, with a high padded collar. I've removed the hood as I wouldn't wear it. The fabric is heavy duty and rain runs off, unlike my North Face which got soaked as soon as it rained. 10% off at Blacks, best price I could find.

This is probably my favourite down jacket of all time. It hits the sweet spot of down concentration & general design to make it suitable for multiple temperature levels & situations in the autumn & winter. The design cut is good, the hand warmer pockets deep, which is missing from most down & waterproof jackets, & their angle for long use more comfortable on the arms.

The cut length is great and the loft in the arm and front baffles especially spot on for warmth.

ME have tweaked the original design to improve it and this is my go to jacket in cold weather over my others.

Bought for trips up North, Scotland & Scandinavia. Used ME’s down traceability program to find this Lightline jacket’s min. 700 FP down is nearly 800 FP. With almost 300g down fill, no wonder some say it’s like a sleeping bag with sleeves. 2 decent sized hand pockets & 1 inner zip pocket. Prefer 1 or 2 mesh-dump pockets. Well insulated helmet compatible, detachable hood. 40D rip-stop fabric is quite durable & water resistant. Stitch-through baffles mean it’s best for cold, dry climes. Fits true to size, if a tad boxy. Bit bulky to wear under a hardshell, but could be worn over. Be great if ME made a dual-layer, off-set stitch-through baffle with heat reflecting scrim hard core version for better heat retention, water & wind resistance.

Re. Hampstead Park Credenza in Grand Walnut.
Exactly what materials are used to construct this uniit & in what pieces/sections? What are the max. weights the top shelf, middle shelves & drawers will safely support? Would it be possible to fit a couple of smoked glass doors to the middle shelves? And what would you advise if I wanted to attach a tubular steel under-frame to provide the unit with more strength & adjustable legs/feet to raise the the unit by 10-15cm?
Look forward to hearing from you.
Your’s in anticipation.
Best regards.

Recently received this jacket and as a bird / wildlife photographer who can be stood around for hours in extremely cold and windy conditions I can honestly say its amazing warmth and wind proof protection are as good as any other jacket I have ever owned

Love this jacket ,so warm , great price , love the navy colour

After owning a few North Face Nuptses and a brand new Lhotse (which I sold due to the shell being so thin it wouldn't last more than a few months of serious wear), I bought this lightline jacket second hand and then bought another from Blacks brand new.
This jacket is the best. Windproof, water resistant even in seriously torrential 20 min periods and absolutely brilliantly warm. I usually just wear a t-shirt when I'm out and this cinched down means you can wear it down to 5 degrees without needing anything else underneath.
Definitely the best down jacket you can buy bar none.

I have a version of this jacket bought 45 years ago and it still does the job but having grown since I was 21 it's a tad tight!
So I took myself off to Blacks for an overdue replacement, the Lightline is beautifully made, quality manufacture and I like this shade of blue, can't wait for winter and a visit to the Lakes or a ramble locally around the Cotswolds.
Try one on, and get your wallet ready!

Great jacket I'm 6ft 2 16 stone xxl come up a little big but still happy

An excellent jacket very warm , I especially like the hood and warm pockets , the fact that it’s waterproof is a bonus.

Great jacket - right price - excellent service
