DESCRIPTION
For committing climbs that require rugged insulation, the Durable Down Parka from Patagonia is a lofty and warm 800-fill-power down belay jacket with a two-way zipper that won’t get shredded by rock abrasion.
Using materials found in their Workwear gear, it’s tough enough to withstand the burliest pitches yet light enough to haul up the longest routes. This parka is part of the Free Wall Kit - designed to meet the demands of Patagonia ambassadors’ evolving tactics for modern rock climbing objectives, the Free Wall Kit is made for sustained, difficult multipitch routes where even the smallest rest recovers just enough energy for the send. Made in a Fair Trade Certified™ factory.
This Fair Trade Certified™ parka pairs 800-fill-power down with an ultra-durable 98% recycled nylon Ultra-PE ripstop shell built to resist severe wall abrasion. Featuring discontinuous quilting, broad shoulders, a helmet-compatible hood, and a quiet, packable lining that stows right into its own zippered handwarmer pocket. Thoughtful alpine details - including a two-way belay-compatible zipper with double storm flaps, dual interior mesh stash pockets, and a rear neck clip loop - deliver complete weather protection and function.

PROVENANCE AND ETHICS
Patagonia was founded by Yvon Chouinard in 1973, the company's roots are in clothing for rock and alpine climbing, but they now produce a diverse mix of apparel targeted towards skiers, snowboarders, surfers and climbers. Patagonia are a world leader in creating ethical, sustainable clothing.
Recycled Nylon: Nylon is one of the strongest materials used in clothing and gear. Using recycled nylon, Patagonia decrease their dependence on virgin petroleum as a raw material and reduce discarded fabric.
Responsible Down Standard: All virgin down that Patagonia uses is traced from farm to shelf, so that the birds who supply it are protected. The Responsible Down Standard describes and (independently) certifies animal-welfare practices in down and feather production from the farm to the final product.
