Ascent Down Jacket - Women's

Whether you're making an ascent on a snow-capped mountain or chilling at a wintery campsite, the Rab Women's Ascent Down Jacket has the lofty warmth you love. Its Pertex Endurance fabric is water-resistant, windproof, and very breathable so you don't have to take off your jacket to get some air while you're working to reach the top of the mountain. Insulated with 650-fill European duck down (300g), the Ascent is surprisingly warm despite its light weight. The down also makes it easy to pack this jacket; stuff it into its included stuff sack and stash it into a tiny corner of your backpack when you just want to wear the Ascent for your descent.

The Ascent's hood has a wired peak, is helmet compatible, is detachable, and has the same wonderful insulation as the rest of the jacket to keep your head nice and toasty. The nylon liner boosts durability, and the fleece-lined collar helps trap heat around your neck and chin. Its hook-and-loop cuffs and drawcord hem tighten this jacket down so you don't have wind blowing up your sleeves and body. The hand-warmer pockets are lined with fleece to keep your hands cozy as they warm up from the winter chill.
