Mammut Convey IN Insulation Jacket

I love jackets. Not just a little, but a lot. That's why I have a relatively large number of functional jackets and I really need to sort them out again. But because everyone can have his little quirks, it's not so easy. The fact that Intersport Switzerland gave me a jacket to test, doesn't make things any easier. (More infos about my cooperation with Intersport Switzerland.)

The Mammut Convey IN Insulation is a light-weight down jacket with a wind- and slightly water repellent outer material and can be worn as outer layer or in combination with a water resistant jacket. (Doesn't have to be Mammut, though.)

When I unpacked the jacket, the first thing I noticed was how light it is. In my size (size S, corresponds to a height of 170 cm with a weight of approx. 62 kg) it weighs only 350g. Ideal to put it in your backpack when you need it, without having to strain yourself with a super heavy jacket.

This is perfect for a ski tour, for example. On the ascent I usually don't need the jacket, but when I have a break at the summit or on the descent I am grateful for an additional warmth layer.

Mammut advertises this jacket with the term "Re:Down", meaning that it is filled with recycled down. I found this exciting not only in terms of sustainability, but also from an animal welfare point of view – because quite honestly: I find it increasingly difficult to buy a down product these days. How good or bad Re:Down actually is, I can't really say. What I can say is that I don't notice any difference in terms of thermal performance whether I wear a conventional down jacket or one with recycled down. It keeps you warm in any case and the material dries quickly.

I confess, I use the jacket mainly in everyday life as a light and warm alternative to the multi-layer principle and not so much in the outdoor area. This is not because it is not suitable for this, but because I haven't been in the mountains as much this winter as I would have liked. On some ski tours and hikes, the jacket has already shown that it definitely cuts a good figure as an additional layer of clothing. (By the way: what I especially like is that the jacket comes without a hood. This is great if you want to combine it. Since I'm not a fan of hoods anyway, I save myself unnecessary weight.)

For intersport.ch I was allowed to write a test report about the jacket. It's written in german language. You can buy the jacket in the Intersport online shop or other big online-stores* as well as in specialty stores.
