W Red Hot Parka

Why we made it

Extremely warm parka for high alpine terrain.
800 fill power down provides outstanding insulation performance.
Ultra-packable with included compression bag.

Super warm, expedition-weight down parka with outstanding insulation capabilities, designed for extremely cold conditions. Made to fit it over your other layers when inactive, at the top, at the belay, or in the bivouac — it can also be worn as a stand-alone insulation garment.

The 800 fill power platinum down we use is of the highest quality available. It can be compressed to a minimal package, and lofts almost immediately when unpacked. The down is also treated for water resistance which makes it more durable, while keeping you warm and dry even in the wet.

The shell material is a Japanese ultra-lightweight DWR-treated 34 g/m2 ripstop nylon that is so thin, you can distinguish the actual down clusters through the fabric. At just 695 grams (size L) it is lightweight and ultra-packable.

For longer excursions a compression bag is included.

Wash & Care

Hand wash or cold water wash. Do not use fabric softner.

After wash, tumble dry the jacket on low temperature until the jacket is dry. Make sure to close all pockets and the front zipper. Place a couple of tennis balls in the dryer – this will make the down distributed evenly within the jacket.
