Down Suit

I look like the Michelin Man in this but it is my favourite colour! And it’s going to keep me nice and warm on the upper reaches of Everest. Down lower I won’t need it but on those last couple of days I’ll be climbing and sleeping in it.

It’s kind of like a cricket umpire’s coat. I can fit so much inside as there are pockets for anything I need to keep warm and handy:

• Water bottles 2x 1L
• Camera
• Food (Chocolate (Yum!) and Gels (Yuk!))
• Sunburn cream
• Spare batteries

Down filled one piece suit with Pertex® Endurance outer.

• Pertex® Endurance is highly abrasion resistant and provides outstanding weather protection to the user
• 96% Goose Down in the torso and arms
• 90% Goose Down in the legs
• Total fill weight 750g
• Box wall construction eliminates cold spots and maximises warmth
• 6 outer pockets and 2 mesh internal pockets.
• Full length side zips with multiple pullers run from ankle to wrist to aid ventilation and access
• Articulated knees
• Internal support system

Weight: 1600g

Mine weighs a little less as they had to cut out a panel in the legs and move the knees up to fit me!
