Durable Down Parka, by Patagonia, is a warm and fluffy down jacket with an 800 fill power, featuring an abrasion-resistant two-way zip, ideal for ascents requiring robust insulation.
Made from the same materials as our workwear, this model is tough enough to handle the most demanding pitches, yet light enough to carry on the longest routes.
This parka is part of the Free Wall Kit. Designed to meet the ever-evolving strategic requirements of our ambassadors in modern climbing, the Free Wall Kit is made for the most challenging big walls, where every rest is precious for recovering energy.
Model made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory.
Main features
Lightweight version of the ultra-durable outer fabric from our Steel Forge work jacket, in highly stretch Ultra-PE ripstop 98% recycled nylon and 2% recycled polyester, which protects the 800 cuin fill power down against abrasion and offers total freedom of movement, even after you've just completed 15 pitches
- Comfortable lining lighter than the outer fabric to limit bulk and improve compressibility ; soft and silent to help you find a moment of calm during exertion
- Large hood with draft tube that slips easily over a helmet for unmatched warmth ; soft elastic trim at the hood, wrists and hem to protect against the elements
- Two-way Vislon® front zip with two interior storm flaps that fasten together at the hem with a snap, allowing you to use your belay device without exposing yourself to the elements
- Broad shoulders and discontinuous baffling for extra softness and freedom of movement ; external loop at the back of the neck that allows you to hang the jacket at the belay station with the durable, weather-resistant fabric facing outward
- Two large zippered hand-warmer pockets that are easy to access at a hanging belay ; the parka stuffs into the left one ; two interior mesh stuff pockets to keep gloves or climbing shoes warm
- This style is made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory, which means the workers who made it received a premium for their labor
