Bad weather usually leads to difficult conditions and difficult conditions normally result in epic tales of alpinism. The Flat Iron Parka is for those that find epic like it's their job. This synthetic belay parka leans on clean, purpose driven design, hydrophobic insulation and an ultralight waterproof breathable exterior shell. The 2-way adjustable hood is helmet compatible, while we provide you alpine style cuffs and an adjustable hem to shut out wintery drafts. A wealth of pockets help you to keep things organized and stowed. The Flat Iron Parka makes an exceptional insulating layer for those that refuse to let cold and mixed conditions dictate the terms of their backcountry experience. This item has been slightly oversized by design to accommodate seasonal layers.

About Ballistic Airlight®

Ballistic Airlight® is made using the same nylon polymer as our Ballistic® material and a highly technical production process to create extremely fine, super thin threads. These threads are then woven into ultralight, gossamer fabrics that share the same characteristics as Ballistic®: one and a half times more abrasion resistance than other similar weight fabrics and boasts three times the tear strength of nylons that are almost 20% heavier. Additionally, Ballistic Airlight® is often woven using different techniques to create fabrics with radically different characteristics, such as fabrics that allow the garment to stretch or fabrics that "breathe" to release built up heat and moisture.
