The northernmost latitudes don't have an exclusive on arctic cold. For our Down Parka -- meant to feel at home anywhere that climbers battle frigid temps on summit pushes -- we use 800-fill-power down and a polyester shell fabric that's extremely tough and durable, lightweight, windproof, downproof and water-repellent.
New features this season include articulated baffles to keep the down evenly distributed for optimal warmth, fit and mobility. The drawcorded hood's small draft tube cleanly encircles your face; internal mesh drop-in pockets stow water bottles or spare mitts; zippered handwarmer pockets are diagonally oriented.
Other fine points include soft, light, perforated hook-and-loop elasticized wrist cuffs and new reinforcements at the shoulders and cuffs for greater durability.
The fit is relaxed for lots of layering.
