What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I have been pulling the Stretchdown Parka on between boulder problems in Bishop and at the end of long alpine days, and the long length makes a noticeable difference when the wind picks up and temperatures drop fast. It feels like a wearable blanket but the stretch woven fabric still moves well enough that I can throw it on without fully stopping what I am doing."There is a specific kind of cold that arrives between sessions at the boulders, or settles in around a campfire as the last light fades off the wall. The Mountain Hardwear Stretchdown Parka was built for exactly that moment, delivering the kind of deep, enveloping warmth that makes staying out longer feel easy and heading inside feel completely unnecessary.The extended 30-inch length wraps more of the body in warmth than a standard jacket, while the Stretchdown construction keeps the coverage from feeling restrictive or cumbersome. Seven hundred fill RDS certified down woven into a single 20D stretch doubleweave fabric delivers a blanket-like warmth that never fights back during movement, whether that means wandering between problems, pacing the campsite, or reaching for gear in the dark. A helmet-compatible hood with three-way drawcord adjustment seals in heat on bitter nights, while hook-and-loop cuffs and dual drawcord hem adjustment lock out drafts from every angle. Soft-lined zippered hand pockets add a touch of comfort that makes standing around in the cold considerably more enjoyable, and the two-way center front zipper gives the freedom to move without fully unwrapping from the warmth. For the moments between the climbing and the stories about the climbing, nothing does the job quite like the Stretchdown Parka.
