Superlight hooded down pullover
When you’re working hard, you generate your own heat – which makes a traditional duvet-style down jacket too warm, causing you to sweat and chilling your core. Crux’s Neo Top is a lightweight layering piece to help you maintain that fine balance between overheating and getting cold, making it ideal for active use in late autumns or early springs where the evenings start to chill but the temperatures still hover above freezing. A low fill weight minimises overall weight and bulk, yet the ultra-premium 900 fill power Polish goose down delivers vital warmth. A half-zip, Lycra-bound hood and water-resistant face fabric add versatility for mixed conditions.
- Large central pocket with zipped openings on each side
- Pocket doubles as a stuff sack (with belt loop)
- Fixed hood with Lycra-bound edge
- Lycra cuffs and hem
- No fill in underarm baffles for minimal bulk and optimum temperature regulation
- Filled exclusively with ethically recovered 900 fill power premium Polish goose down

- Always store your jacket uncompressed in a dry, airy place
- Try to keep it as clean as possible to minimize washing (this ultimately damages the down)
We highly recommend you hand-wash your down garment or, alternatively, use a professional service.

Crux kit is designed for mountaineers, by mountaineers. Well, actually, by one mountaineer – since this specialist brand is entirely owned and operated by New Zealander Carol McDermott.
Carol is a trained chemicals and materials engineer with a background in the outdoor industry. He’s also a highly experienced alpinist and climber, with ascents in most of the world’s great ranges to his name. That’s a pretty good CV for designing the world’s most uncompromising outdoor kit, focused purely on performance in the most demanding conditions. Which is why Crux use only the best quality materials, like Polish white goose down and premium Japanese fabrics, with stringent quality control that puts the big brands to shame.
