One of the lightest technical jackets on the market, the Hot Cocoa Parka is ideal for waiting out high-country storm cycles and for pushing through on alpine climbing and skiing missions. It's been pared down to the essential components to focus on providing warmth in an ultralight package. The face fabric is treated to resist weather, resist tearing, and prevent any down seepage. All in all, a remarkable addition to your cold-weather systems when heading out on mountain adventures.
