Faced with an icy pre-dawn start or a cutting windchill high up, the superb versatility of the Atlas down vest is a welcome addition on wintry mountains. High chest pockets, lower handwarmers, and proofed breathable Ultrashell or Dri-LX outer all work to meet the demands of raw conditions.
Winter summits of the High Atlas, mountaineering in the Alps or trekking in the Himalayas, the list of destinations this vest is suitable for includes:
High Atlas, Winter Toubkal
Himalayan 4/5000m trekking
Scottish Winter
Alpine Trekking & Mountaineering
Icelandic Trekking
Nordic Ski Mountaineering
The handwarmer pockets are zipped to keep out blowing snow and the Napoleon fleece-lined chest pockets are easy access above the harness line. A fleece & down filled collar, adjustable cord-lock hem, and light Lycra armholes work to seal out the cold. And, together with elasticated side-panels for a closer, warmer fit, great performance is guaranteed.
An optional down-filled stud-on hood gives a significant boost to the jacket's warmth.
This is the ideal warmer for winter camp, a cool Teahouse, bothy or mountain hut when those drawn-out nights pass slowly until dawn. And if the night's a bit colder than you expected, keep the Atlas Vest on inside your bag: a definite booster, particularly if you've got the optional hood on too.
