The Guide Expedition Down Parka is the final result of extensive technical development, superior craftsmanship, meticulous lab testing, and above all gruelling real-world experiences.
In collaboration with down experts in the US and fabric innovators in Japan, we designed this sophisticated expedition parka to withstand extensive periods of extreme temperatures on the world’s highest peaks and in desolate arctic regions. It is the most technically complex garment we have ever made.

This is a 100% boxwall baffle construction parka, filled with generous amounts of responsibly sourced premium 900 fill power goose down that is RDS-certified, bluesign-certified and 100% traceable. The Dermizax®Ultralight 3-layer rip-stop hardshell fabric provides extreme weather protection and lightweight durability. It has an oversized expedition fit with an elongated back piece and an extremely generous hood. At only 930g in size medium, with a 345g down fill, it has an impressive warmth-to-weight-ratio. Very few parkas on the market that can match its performance.

Please note: The parka will be extremely compressed on delivery. It will need 72 hours minimum to regain its shape and to loft completely after shipping.
