Men's Grade Vii Down Parka

For thriving on the most visionary lines on the most intimidating peaks, our Grade VII Down Parka represents years of building, testing and refining among our brain trust of designers and ambassadors. At belays and bivies any time you stop, or any time you're moving through absolute zero the parka keeps your fire burning with its precise, fully baffled construction laminated on the arms, shoulders and chest and differentially cut shell and liner, which traps your heat courtesy of 800 fill Traceable Down goose down that can be traced back to birds that were never force fed, never live plucked. The design further ensures that the loft stays in place, thus eliminating cold spots, regardless of severity of use, and elasticized stitching on the side panels of the liner hug the jacket into the body. The 100% nylon ripstop shell is more robust in the sides and back, and has a DWR durable water repellent finish throughout. The helmet compatible, baffled hood has a single pull drawcord and a high loft draft collar around neck the 2 way center front zipper is backed with draft tubes that kiss together, removing the cold shoulder or cold zipper. Plenty of pockets keeps you sorted when hell freezes over: double chest pockets and double hand pockets all have down on both sides of the pocket bags to retain warmth when open, and 4 interior catch all pockets 2 on each side have stretch mesh for draining snow melt the back right interior pocket has a hidden stash tube with keeper loop for retaining the self fabric stuffsack. The elasticized stitch cuff openings sit gently on the wrist, locking in heat and allowing the sleeve to be easily pulled down over gloves, or pushed up at brew stops. The hem drawcord routes through the mini powder skirt and is located several inches above the parka's hem, thus pulling everything inward without draft spots while eliminating any hanging loops that can snag on gear and rocks.
