What is the Superflux Vest?
The Superflux is a synthetically insulated vest designed for almost any cold-weather outdoor activity, from ski touring and mountaineering to dog walking and trekking.
What is it made of?
Insulation: It's insulated with 3M's Polarloft synthetic insulation. This Bluesign-approved material is incredibly warm, packable and resistant to rain, meaning it'll still keep you warm if you happen to get caught out. For our typically unpredictable UK conditions, this insulation works brilliantly and means it's a true 'fit and forget' type piece.
Fabrics: Surrounding this insulation is M.E's own Drilite Loft 40D outer. This fabric is totally windproof and highly water-resistant, protecting the insulation inside and keeping you a little drier during your adventures.
What are its features?
It features a two-way front zip to allow you to pop it over a climbing harness or simply answer the call of nature, two zipped hand pockets for your various bits and pieces, an internal pocket that's perfect for a phone or your keys and dual-tether hem drawcords to seal in the warmth around your waist. Finally, the vest packs away into its own hand pocket when not in use.
How does it fit?
It features M.E's 'mountain fit' — this is a little looser than their 'alpine fit' and just gives you some extra wiggle room.
Where does it fit in the layering system?
It can either be used as an outer layer in reasonably dry, cold conditions, or as a super-warm midlayer if the weather is truly horrendous.- Drilite Loft outer
