Durable Down Parka

For committing climbs that require rugged insulation, the Durable Down Parka is a lofty and warm 800-fill-power down belay jacket with a two-way zipper that won’t get shredded by rock abrasion. Using materials found in our Workwear gear, it’s tough enough to withstand the burliest pitches yet light enough to haul up the longest routes. This parka is part of the Free Wall Kit. Designed to meet the demands of our ambassadors’ evolving tactics for modern rock climbing objectives, the Free Wall Kit is made for sustained, difficult multipitch routes where even the smallest rest recovers just enough energy for the send. Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory.

Features

• Workwear-Tough Outer Fabric: Built with a lightweight version of an ultradurable face fabric from our Steel Forge Workwear jacket, the high-tensile 98% recycled nylon/2% recycled polyester Ultra-PE ripstop protects the 800-fill-power down from abrasion so that you can move freely even when you’re 15 pitches off the deck
• Remarkably Light Lining: Comfortable lining is lighter than the exterior fabric to reduce bulk for better packability; it’s also soft and quiet to help you find a pocket of calm when you’re trying hard
• Warm, Helmet-Compatible Hood; Elasticized Binding: Generous hood with a high draft collar pulls easily over a helmet for total warmth; soft, elasticized binding at the hood, cuffs and hem seal out the elements
• Protected Belay Loop Access: Two-way, center-front Vislon® zipper with two internal storm flaps that snap together at the hem makes it belay device-compatible without exposure to the elements
• Multipitch Climbing-Specific Features: Broad shoulders and discontinuous quilting provide mobility and loft; an exterior loop at the back of the neck allows you to clip to the belay with the durable, weather-resistant shell facing outward
• Pocket Features: Two generous zippered handwarmer pockets allow easy access at a hanging belay, and parka self-stuffs into the left pocket; two interior drop-in mesh pockets keep gloves or climbing shoes warm
• Supporting the People Who Made This Product: Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory, which means the people who made this product earned a premium for their labor
