Winter alpinism's challenges are complex, but brutal cold calls for a simple solution. Patagonia uses the best down (800-fill-power) and a new polyester shell fabric: extremely tough and durable, but still lightweight, windproof and water-repellent. The drawcord hood's small draft tube cleanly encircles your face in the Patagonia Down Parka. Internal mesh drop-in pockets stow water bottles or spare mitts. Other fine points include soft, light, perforated hook-and-loop elasticized wrist cuffs and new reinforcements on shoulders and cuffs for greater durability. The Patagonia Down Parka has a relaxed fit for layering.
