Mountain Equipment K7 Women's Jacket

The K7 was originally designed as an insulating defense for high-altitude alpine climbs, such as the Slovak Direct on Denali or the first ascent of Nyainqentanglha’s South East Face in Tibet, earning a Piolet d’Or. Since then, it’s become a go-to choice for adventurers tackling everything from 6000m peaks in Nepal to the frigid Polar regions. Whether you’re an elite mountaineer or planning your first remote trek, the K7 offers reliable warmth and protection.

The K7 Women’s Jacket is packed with 272g of high-quality Goose Down, using full box wall construction to eliminate cold spots and ensure optimal loft. Each baffle is filled to maximise insulation, and the EXL system in the back enhances warmth by reducing dead space and down compression without adding weight. The EXL extends into the hood, providing extra warmth and adaptability, making it helmet-friendly with minimal adjustments, even in sub-zero conditions.

The DriliteⓇ Loft outer shell is windproof, weather-resistant, and breathable, preventing moisture buildup during prolonged use in extreme conditions.
