When the temperature bottoms out and the wind won't quit, the Women's Fitz Roy Down Parka answers with serious, high-loft warmth. Built for belays, frigid approaches and everything between, its longer, heat-trapping cut and fully baffled down let you stand still in deep cold and stay comfortable long after lighter layers give up.
The shell, lining and reinforcements use lightweight 1.1-oz 20-denier 100% nylon Pertex Quantum® with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish to fend off moisture, while 800-fill-power Advanced Global Traceable Down delivers the heat. Fully baffled construction—improved to prevent down migration—pairs with a longer cut and internal draft tubes at the two-way, center-front zipper to eliminate cold spots. Total weight is just 18.9 ounces.
Standout features:
- Helmet-compatible hood — baffled, with a single-pull adjustment and an internal heat-locking, high-loft chamber at the back of the neck
- Handwarmer pockets — two high pockets with zipper garages and insulated entries to eliminate drafts
- Interior stash — two giant drop-in stretch mesh pockets hold gloves and other essentials
- Draft-sealing closure — internal draft tubes behind the two-way, center-front zipper
- Low-profile cuffs — elasticized to sit soft on the arm and push up out of the way
- Drop-tail hem — dual-adjust design locks in heat
The insulation is Advanced Global Traceable Down, goose down certified by NSF International and traced from parent farm to apparel factory to help ensure the birds are not force-fed or live-plucked.
Right pick for frigid morning approaches, deep-winter walks, alpine belays and standing-around cold where a longer, fully baffled parka earns its keep. When the day warms, it compresses into its included self-fabric stuffsack for the pack.
