Mountain Equipment Xeros Down Jacket

We're working out what we think - we'll add our view here!

Mountain Equipment says:

A super-lightweight and highly protective down jacket for the hardest modern Alpine routes.

Part of an extended R&D project with some of the best Alpinists in the world, this minimalist down jacket has been developed to offer maximum protection and warmth for the least possible weight and pack size. With a GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ drop outer shell, insulation and weather resistance are optimised.

We're working out what we think about Mountain Equipment's Xeros Down Jacket, we'll add our comments here in due course.
