If you stop and think about it, a dependable climbing jacket is as essential as a reliable mountaineering rope. A four-season mountaineering shelter can save you from the elements and a -40F rated sleeping bag can provide adequate warmth, but it's your jacket that's going to protect and insulate you all the way back to civilization, which is why this 650-fill down Sub Zero SL Hooded Jacket is such an essential fit for expeditions and extended climbs. It offers waterproof/breathable performance in the form of a special Conduit SL laminate that facilitates vapor transfer without sacrificing body heat. You'll find reinforcement fabric along all key abrasion areas of the garment and plenty of internal and external pockets for gear.
A great jacket, well made with many great features.
Very warm for the first winter snowfall. Well tailored and the hood should be extremely cozy. Like the reverseable zipper and the sapphire color is quite catchy.
Awesome Jacket
Weighs next to nothing, the hood is SO much better than any other down jacket out there, and has Conduit SL which is way more burly than the regular Sub Zero. Depending on what you are going to be using it for, you might want to go with the parka version for the few inches longer on the bottom. But seriously, I can't complain. I would recommend this to anyone that needs serious warmth and excellent quality. Definitely a higher end Mountain Hardwear product.
Warmest Jacket I have ever worn.
20 below zero wind chill and kept me toasty
