Mountain Equipment Annapurna Mens Jacket

When the Annapurna was launched in 1970, it set a new standard for insulation clothing. The legendary jacket was developed for the visionary AnnapurnaSouth Faceexpedition and has warmed generations of climbers, explorers and expedition members in the coldest places on earth. Today, after 50 years, Mountain Equipment's Annapurna remains a benchmark in highly technical cold weather clothing. It combines the manufacturer's best insulation technology with a design that has been tested on countless high mountainand polar expeditions.
The latest Annapurna men's jacket is a robust expedition jacket designed for peaks up to 7000 meters and continuous use in the most demanding conditions in sub-zero temperatures. In icy temperatures, the high-quality goose down with a fill power of 700 cuin keeps the wearer warm. The Boxwall construction effectively traps the air and offers the down optimum space to develop its fill power. The double-layer, offset construction on the arms provides excellent insulation and wind resistance without restricting freedom of movement.
Additional layers of Polarloft synthetic fiber insulation on the front of the upper body, shoulders and forearms provide extra wind protection and prevent heat loss due to compression, for example from a heavy backpack. The durable DRILITE® Loft outer material is windproof and highly water-repellent, keeps out snow and protects against the strongest winds. The helmet-compatible hood sits close to the face thanks to the pleated halochamber and protects against the cold without being unnecessarily bulky.
With well thought-out details such as an insulated collar, robust, pre-shaped zippers and several practical pockets, the Annapurna offers maximum functionality in the most demanding conditions. Two large open meshpockets provide storage space and quick access to gloves or other essentials. An inner zippered pocket secures valuables and electrical devices. Two chest pockets and insulated hand warmer pockets provide additional storage options for snacks, headlamp or cards.
