Frigid bigwall bivies, epic ice belays and subzero ski tours all call for the warmest insulated shell you can get your frozen hands on. The Apastron protects against Baltic cold with a combination of beefy 200-g PrimaLoft® Eco insulation housed inside a windproof yet highly breathable Gore WINDSTOPPER® nylon shell. Its flat, snow-shedding front eliminates cold spots, while internal quilting holds the insulation in place. In addition to serious warmth, the Apastron Hoody has, well, a hood (3-way adjustable, helmet-compatible with laminated visor), harness- and pack-compatible zippered pockets (two handwarmers, two chest, one internal security), Touch Point System™ embedded cord locks in the hood and hem and low-profile cuff closures with a pleated gusset.
