Mountain Equipment Bastion Jacket - Review
The Mountain Equipment Bastion Jacket is a synthetic mid layer that is designed for active pursuits in the mountains where down just won’t do. The Bastion jacket uses the most breathable version of Gore Windstopper which is called ‘Activeshell’. This allows body moisture to leave the shell and avoids that hot and clammy feel you can get with down. Since it’s Gore Windstopper however, the wind is still kept a bay; even the under arm stretch panels are made with Gore Windstopper X-Fast material to allow the jacket to breath but keep cold winds out.
A solid ski touring outer layer or mid layer for skiing the resort.
Inside the shell there is Mountain Equipment’s proprietary Polarloft Duo insulation in an 80 grams weight.
