Escape Climbing IronRange 80 Belay Jacket - Women's Tangerine, XL

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I belayed a partner on an ice pitch in single digit temps, and the belay snap made it easy to stay clipped in and warm at the same time. The inside pocket kept my phone from dying in the cold, which mattered since we were tracking our approach on it.""Minnesota winters don't leave much room for gear that only sort of works, and the IronRange 80 Belay Jacket from Escape Climbing was built by people who spend their season proving that point. We snap in at the base of an ice pillar, hood pulled up over a helmet, and let 80 grams of high loft insulation do the job of keeping heat in in the exact conditions this jacket was designed around. It's a belay jacket shaped by actual ice season, not just marketed toward it. 3M Thinsulate insulation retains loft even when damp, a detail that matters on long belays where snow and sweat both find a way in. A bottom up zipper and belay snap keep the jacket functional while clipped into a harness, and inside pockets protect a phone battery from dying in the cold. Elastic toggles at the hem and hood dial in a snug fit to seal warmth in, and Bluesign approved materials mean the jacket does right by both the climber and the process that made it. It's a serious piece of cold weather gear built specifically around the demands of standing still in the cold."
