Hi,
Is this jacket suitable for mountaineering up to 7000m where it gets down to -20C?
Obviously it's not gonna be -20C all the time and will be walking most of the day, but at night it will definitely reach -20C.
Planning to wear it on top of merino baselayers, softshell, fleece top and under wind/rain proof jacket.
Thank you.

Hi akz, Thanks for the question. As far as warmth goes, you are definitely looking at the correct jacket for what you are doing and how you are layering. The 800 fill down will be perfect as a down layering piece for those type of temperatures if you will be at least walking around. The only thing that I would stress to get right here would be sizing as the Outdoor Research Maestro Down Jacket does fit a bit bigger than true to size, but with fitting all those layers underneath a shell, be sure to get a size that won't restrict your movement. I hope this answer helps you out.
