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 Patagonia's 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 Patagonia's 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

• Built with a lightweight version of an ultradurable face fabric from Patagonia's 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 when you’re 15 pitches off the deck
• Comfortable lining is lighter than the exterior fabric to reduce bult for better packability; it’s also soft and quiet to help you find a pocket of calm when you’re trying hard
• Generous hood with a high draft collar culls easily over a helmet for total warmth
• Soft, elasticised binding at the hoof, cuffs and hem seal out the elements
• Two-way, centre-front Vislon zipper with two internal flaps that snap together at the hem makes it belay device-compatible without exposure to the elements
• Broad shoulders and discontinuous quilting provide mobility and loft
• Exterior loop at the back of the neck allows you to clip to the belay with the durable, weather resistant shell facing outward
• 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
• Made in a Fair Trade Certified factory, which means the people who made this product earned a premium for their labour
