Patagonia Das Parka

Patagonia's quintessential belay and bivy piece

The bombproof DAS, with its high-loft synthetic insulation, stays warm even when wet, sheds snow, and blocks wind. Patagonia improved the fit and upgraded the shell fabric to a polyester quad ripstop that's extremely tough, durable, and light in weight. Fabric reinforcements on shoulders, elbows and hip panels increase durability. An Optipull hood fits over helmets,and the high collar insulates your face. Finer points: insulated handwarmer pockets, a zippered chest pocket, inside mesh pockets for drying gloves and a two-way front zip that lets you see your belay device. Treated with Deluge® DWR (durable water repellent) to shed moisture. Stuff sack included.
