Found some old info from the MEC website:

 

" MEC Cygnus Jacket (Men's)

Weight: 872g (Med)

This wonder-jacket combines the best of materials, features, and construction to meet the demands of the most extreme users and most inclement conditions. The shell provides moderate moisture resistance and an excellent wind barrier. Now combined with GORE™ WINDSTOPPER®, for added weather protection on the shoulders, arms, and hood.

 

Sewn-in baffles on the back and arms separate the chambers and prevent the down from shifting, so it reaches maximum loft. The front panels use double sewn-through chambers, providing two layers of down with offset quilting lines, for an exceptionally warm front barrier that eliminates cold spots. The shoulders have a combination of sewn-in baffles and double offset chambers.

 

Shell body is tightly woven, 30-denier microfibre polyester down-proof fabric with good wind resistance and DWR (durable water repellency). Permits maximum loft and excellent compressibility.

Contrasting hood, arms, and shoulders use GORE WINDSTOPPER Zao, for superior water and wind resistance.

Insulation is 700 fill-power goose down, processed and collected in Canada.

Lined with supple, high-count, down-proof taffeta, 30-denier microfibre nylon.

Two handwarmer pockets, and one chest pocket.

Hip-length cut layers over heavy-weight fleece or sweaters. If you plan to wear it over your shell jacket, consider purchasing a larger size."

 

I think I'll haul the stuff over to 2nd Ascent this week.
