Which jacket is best for high-altitude expeditions?
A 3-layer jacket with a waterproof and windproof membrane is essential. It must resist gusts of wind and protect against humidity, while remaining breathable for prolonged efforts.
What down jacket should I pack for a winter expedition?
A synthetic down jacket is ideal: more resistant to moisture, compressible and easier to care for. In extreme dry conditions, a down jacket offers unbeatable insulation, provided it is well protected against the rain.
Is a softshell enough for the high mountains?
In mild conditions or for ascents, yes. A softshell offers excellent mobility and wind protection. But it should be paired with a waterproof hardshell as soon as the weather becomes unstable.
How do I layer an expedition jacket?
Ideally, you should layer a thermal base-layer, a breathable mid-layer (such as a fleece), and your outer jacket. This system makes it easy to adapt your insulation to your activity and the weather.
What technical details need to be checked on an expedition jacket?
Welded seams, helmet-compatible hood, harness-accessible pockets, zipped vents, waterproof zips, adjustable hem... These details make the difference between a classic jacket and a real expedition jacket.
