The Vision Down Parka is my do it all, super-warm down jacket. It shifts seamlessly from a comfort piece during long belay sessions on cold crag days, to essential safety gear on alpine climbs of high altitude peaks. It’s balance of warmth vs weight/packability is what makes this versatility possible; I don’t go anywhere without this parka!
