Ultralight, packable and filled with DWR-treated down, it sets the dial at optimal for the warmth-to-weight ratio of down jackets. The fabric has exceptional tear strength for something so lightweight, and DWR-treated down retains impressive loft and warmth when exposed to precip and moisture in the field. Tested by MEC ambassador Tobin Seagel in the Coast Mountains of British Columbia, the DWR-treated insulation and nylon outer, combined with a warm insulated hood made the Commix a standout in this heavy-snow, high-country setting.
