IronRange 80 Belay Jacket - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I stood at the base of an ice route belaying for over an hour in brutal cold, and the belay snap kept me clipped in and functional without ever feeling restricted. The inside pocket kept my phone from dying, which mattered since it was tracking our whole approach."

There's a specific kind of cold that settles in during a long belay, standing still while a partner works pitch after pitch above, and the IronRange 80 Belay Jacket from Escape Climbing was built by people who know that cold personally. Based out of Minnesota, where a real chunk of the climbing season happens on frozen waterfalls, this jacket carries 80 grams of high loft insulation that keeps working even once it dampens with snow or effort. It's not a jacket designed around a spec sheet, it's one designed around actual ice season.

A bottom up zipper and belay snap keep the jacket functional while clipped in, so a harness never fights against the jacket doing its job. Inside pockets protect a phone from cold weather battery drain, and a helmet compatible hood adds coverage at the coldest, most exposed belays. Elastic toggles at the hem and hood seal in warmth without sacrificing fit, and Bluesign approved materials mean the insulation does right by the process that made it. It's a jacket built specifically for the job of standing still in weather most people avoid entirely.
