Marmot 8000M Parka - 2006 BCS

Available Colors / Styles

The Marmot 8000 Meter Parka is a fully-baffled expedition parka designed to help you survive the coldest conditions on the planet. With its guaranteed minimum 800 fill power goose down insulation, the 8000 Meter Parka is the coat of choice for Himalayan summit attempts and surviving upper Midwestern winters alike. Use the parka in combination with the 8000 Meter Pant [MAR0234] for the ultimate cold weather outfit. The down is compartmentalized by baffles, which prevents cold spots common in sewn-through insulated garments. A full-length down-filled front draft tube prevents cold air from leaking through the zipper. Marmot's DryLoft shell is windproof, highly water resistant, breathable, and is super light and pliable to allow the premium down to fully loft. Further keeping the elements at bay is an elastic drawcord at the waist and hem, plus a hood muff with a drawcord so you can adjust warmth and protection around your face. Articulated elbows and shoulders allow you a good level of mobility while you walk around in this giant, warm pillow. When you're traveling in warmer weather, the 8000 Meter Parka comes with its own stuff sac—pack it away just like a sleeping bag.

Bottom Line: Dr. Beck Weathers (made famous in John Krakauer's book, Into Thin Air) survived a night alone on Everest wearing the 8000 Meter Parka.
