Braving -20°F belays or pre-dawn alpine starts? Meet your essential ally: the Outdoor Research Super Alpine Down Parka. Engineered with 800 fill power responsibly sourced goose down and a highly water-resistant Pertex® Quantum Pro shell, this isn’t just warm—it’s extreme-cold protection perfected for ice climbing, high-altitude expeditions, and frigid ski-town winters.
Why trust it when temperatures plummet? The helmet-compatible hood features adjustable locking and a tall brushed-tricot collar, while quilt-free zones on sleeves and sides boost weather defense. Double zippers, an insulated storm flap, and YKK® Vislon closures seal out wind—critical for high-altitude down parkas facing sudden storms. Stash gloves in knuckle-side pockets or gear in dual mesh compartments; even the elastic hem locks heat without restricting movement.
Weighing just 25.9 oz (734 g) with a 32½” center-back length, it balances lightweight agility with serious warmth—ideal for technical winter mountaineering jackets demanding durability. Remastered with pro ambassadors, it transitions seamlessly from glacier traverses to urban commutes thanks to Pertex®’s wind-resistant 30D ripstop nylon.
Packed with thoughtful details—from adjustable wrist cuffs to a included stuff sack—this parka conquers blizzards without bulk. Ready for your coldest objective? Stay focused on the climb, not the chill.
