The FAIRMONT is a windproof and very warm down jacket. The TEXASHIELD shell fabric is water repellent and breathable, and shrugs off light rain and snow showers. When designing this jacket, the focus was on minimal weight and maximum insulation, which is why we opted for a high performance RDS certified duck down fill. The FAIRMONT can be neatly stowed in the pack bag supplied and carried in your rucksack as a warm back-up jacket. If you don’t need the hood, simply zip it off.
