"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I wear the Access Down Parka all season—whether I’m standing through cold belays or heading out for après in the mountains. It’s super warm with 700-fill down, and the longer cut keeps me comfortable even in sub-zero windchill. The fit is flattering but still roomy enough to layer over a fleece or softshell."" When mid-winter sends the mercury plummeting, we reach for the Black Diamond Access Down Parka to keep the cold at bay. Designed to bring serious warmth to everything from frigid belays to brisk downtown strolls, this insulated parka is the piece we don’t leave home without once the snow starts to fall. Black Diamond packed it with responsibly sourced 700-fill down, giving us the heat we need without the weight we don’t. The durable shell fabric sheds light snow thanks to its DWR finish, while the insulated hood and long hem offer extended protection from wind and cold. A two-way front zipper allows for easy belay access, and zippered hand pockets keep our essentials close and warm. Whether we're layered up at the base of a frozen pitch or heading out for a post-tour dinner, the Access Down Parka delivers mountain-ready performance in a sleek, functional design."
