Baltro Light Jacket (Unisex)

Dec 14, 2025

I'm satisfied with the limited model

I purchased the Baltoro Light in Black + Black Baltoro Light in Black + Black logo size M. By the way, I wear size L for the Nuptse Down. I'm glad I bought it because it's light and warm.

All black is the best

I avoided the Baltoro Light because I dislike being seen in the same item as others, but the all-black version, with the logo also black, makes it less common and feels special, which is nice.

The sizing change is amazing

I've been interested in the Baltoro Light for a few years, but I always hesitated to purchase due to sizing issues. I heard from the staff that this year's model has a significant change in sizing, so I decided to try it on. In the previous model, I wore XL, which fit well around the torso, but in this season's model, size M had some extra room. I could probably wear size S as well, indicating a size increase. Since size S was already sold out, I bought size M.

The black logo is incredibly cool.

I'm looking forward to the black logo for the mountain jacket and mountain down jacket next season!

New Baltor

There may be mixed opinions concerning improvements, but it provided a refreshing change since things had become monotonous.
I really like the all-black version.

The long-awaited all black

I've been interested in the Baltoro Light for a long time, but I hesitated due to the prominent logo until the all-black version came out. I was told the sizing had been updated, so I decided immediately. There is enough room around the armholes and sleeves, so even with oversized inner layers, it doesn't feel tight.
Due to the characteristics of the fabric, there might be some noise while moving, which is a little disappointing, and I deducted one star for that.

Baltor 3rd generation

The sizing and material feel have drastically changed. Personally, I have a better impression of both compared to the previous version.
I wore size L in the last version, but I went down to size M this time, and the surface material has a stronger shell feel, indicating enhanced durability.
I think the amount of down has decreased compared to the previous model, but it was over-spec for casual wear, so it feels appropriately adjusted for most situations.

As expected

I wanted an all-black version, so I purchased it immediately.
The sizing of the updated model this year feels a bit larger, but it's still comfortable even when wearing a sweater underneath.
I am very satisfied with this product.

Very cool

The sizing of last year's Baltoro Light jacket has changed quite a bit, and it's larger now. The material has become firmer, eliminating the delicate feel and adding assurance for everyday use. Overall, the sleeve length feels longer. It's expensive, but materials like the Windstopper fabric justify the cost.

This is a good down jacket

I had previously avoided it because the length was short, but I tried it on after hearing that the size had been changed and bought it immediately.
It is stuffed fully with down everywhere, which provides exceptional warmth, explaining its popularity.
However, I think it's due to changes in the GORE-TEX WINDSTOPPER specification, as it feels stiffer than before and makes some crinkling noise when moved, which was a bit concerning.
Despite that, I believe it's a good product, so I plan to keep using it.

Much larger than Baltor

I wear size M in the Baltoro.
It feels a bit tight and hard to move in.
I bought size M in the Baltoro Light.
It's incredibly huge. It felt like it suddenly turned into American sizing.
I wanted to exchange it for size S, but it's out of stock. I'll endure wearing it.

After much deliberation

I was torn between all-black and asphalt gray, but I ultimately decided on asphalt gray. The deciding factor was the prominence of the logo! It's perfectly balanced, not too flashy but just enough presence, which is ideal! I personally felt the all-black logo was a bit too monochromatic.

Finally

I was torn between all-black and gray.
I thought I might not get the all-black version, so I was ready to buy it immediately, but I already have an all-black Nuptse, so I went for the gray in the Baltoro.
Both the sizing and color are just right.

I eagerly purchased the Baltoro Light.

The sizing feels spacious enough to wear over a hoodie.
I'm looking forward to wearing it for dog walks.

The improvements are outstanding!

The previous Baltoro had a perfect fit, and I rarely wore it, but this time the size has been increased, and it felt very comfortable when I tried it on, so I bought it immediately! Additionally, the staff brought out a new one, and I could feel the down fluffing up over time, which gave me a strong sense of warmth!
This year, I think I can manage through the winter with just this one piece!

Size feel

Previously, size M was a bit tight, but this time it's slightly larger in M, designed in the trend of oversized. The body width, armholes, and hood are no longer constricting and have become comfortable. The disappointing point is that the outer fabric is made of a crinkly material, which stands out as cheap. The color is a limited all-black, and I thought it would be hard to come across in the city, so I bought it. The logo is also all black and looks really cool.

Size confirmation is a must‼️

I checked how the sizing has been renewed before purchasing.
If you are only wearing a long-sleeve T-shirt underneath, I think some people might benefit from going down a size from the old Baltoro.
I also feel like the sleeve length has gotten a little longer.
That being said, I purchased the same size as the old Baltoro.

Baltro All Black S

I own the Black M from 2020, but this time I was intrigued by the logo black and made a purchase.
Since I heard the sizes have adjusted, I bought the size S, and it was somewhat roomy even in S.
I was surprised by the texture of the fabric, both good and bad,
but I might end up liking it with use, and for now, I think it was a good purchase! The all-black looks great. The silhouette seems slimmer in this S compared to the M I own.

The all-black was indeed a good choice

I have been considering the Baltoro for the past two years. This year, the sizing has changed quite a bit, and I purchased it on the official website after trying it on at the shop.
The all-black Baltoro is a site-exclusive that is not available in stores.
I really like the subtle logo.

Perfect size

I originally thought the XS size was too tight around the waist, and I wanted to layer a bit, so I bought the size S. The fit is just right even with a base layer and a fleece in the middle. The silhouette looks modern. I think I will be able to use it for a long time. Others have mentioned this too, but the material of the outer layer has changed. I don’t mind it much, but some might prefer the previous version.

I tried it on at the direct store to confirm the sizing, but personally, it didn't bother me much. If you use the various adjustment functions, you can use it with the same feel as the old model, so I bought the same size. The limited feeling of the black logo is good.

It has become quite large

I wore the same size as the previous model, but the body width is quite large, and the sleeve length is also long. Even wearing a sweatshirt underneath, it feels big. This doesn't allow the down to fit tightly to the body, so it's not good. Going down two sizes gives a similar feel to the previous model, but the silhouette felt odd. Going down one size provides room and feels just right; the asphalt gray color is nice.

The all black feels custom and is great

I previously customized (with body width as M and sleeve/length as S for a perfect fit), but since I'm sensitive to the cold, I wanted something a bit longer, so this time I chose size S, which has a larger fit. I’m very pleased with the all-black aspect as well.

Baltoro

Since the size has been revised, I previously wore XL but bought L this time. It fits just right and is comfortable to wear, and even before the season, it’s already one of my favorites. It seems likely to be worn frequently, but I'll take care of it.

The size fit has changed this season

My Baltoro size S that I’ve used since 2020 feels a bit tight, so I decided to replace it this season.
I tried it on in the store since they said the size has increased this season.
I thought S would be fine since the build has gotten bigger, but I purchased the M size to wear it more loosely.
I was quite torn between the limited color of all-black and asphalt gray, but I decided on the gray because it has a very stylish adult feel to it.

Just the right size

The size has been increased from this season's model. For my body type, the size S was too baggy! Size XS was loose! Size XXS was perfect.
At my age, if I don't wear it just right,
it will look sloppy, so I've gone with the smallest size.
I can wear a T-shirt and a broad shirt underneath.
XS would have also worked, but I wouldn’t be able to wear it if I gained weight,
so I chose this size to maintain my figure.
The all-black is quite nice.
