As minimal as an eight-piece rack on an alpine ridge climb, our new
Ultralight Down Jacket supports ascent without excess. It features
top-notch 800-fill-power premium European goose down and a special
edition nylon ripstop shell fabric that is half the weight and has twice
the strength of our other down shell fabrics. The sewn-through
construction, tight channel pattern and just the right amount of down
increase versatility for use in more moderate temperatures and diverse
activities; a Deluge® DWR (durable water repellent) finish sheds snow. A
slim silhouette maximizes thermal efficiency and suits its ideal uses:
belay parka over light layers at shady autumn crags, minimalist summer
alpine bivies and unmatched warmth layered under a shell. Pockets
include: two zippered handwarmers and one zippered chest. A drawcord hem
keeps in the heat. Stuff sack included.
Deluge® DWR
Patagonia’s
proprietary durable water repellent fabric finish, Deluge DWR, lasts
substantially longer than standard DWRs. Garments with the Deluge DWR
finish have like-new repellency after years of extensive use.
