Patagonia Das Parka
Cold, wet and scared is no way to go through life; unless you're an alpinist, and then at least you have the Patagonia DAS Parka. Patagonia's bombproof belay parka just got better, with superior PrimaLoft One (170 g in the body; 133 g in the hood and sleeves), a hydrophobic, more thermally efficient insulation that stays truly warm even when wet, is more compressible, and takes up significantly less pack space but is just as warm. The light-yet-tough quad-ripstop shell (1.7-oz 30-denier 100% all-recycled polyester) with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish sheds snow and blocks wind. An adjustable hood fits over helmets, and the high front insulates your face. Finer points: insulated handwarmer pockets, a chest pocket, inside mesh pockets for drying gloves and a 2-way front zip that lets you see your belay device. Stuff sack included.

This was a gift for my husband, and it has been very well received. Great in the cold. Warm yet very light. Hood works very well over helmet. Jacket is good looking,true to size and is a good buy.

Excellent Warmth
This jacket, or parka, is ideal for frigid cold conditions, (wind and rain inclusive), for it provides lightweight, warmth in a terrific design that is comfortable and not puffy. The main zipper slides smoothly and quickly to the zip garage that has a very smart length--right under your nose. The hood is as well-designed as the jacket. This jacket is warmer, and the hood more comfortable and with greater coverage than the Micro-Puff Hooded Jacket. Wear it below zero temp's with a Capilene 1, and you will not be cold.
