The Valiance Parka pairs a 2-layer Pertex® Shield rated to 20,000mm of waterproofing with 700 fill power down treated with a Grangers hydrophobic finish, so the insulation holds its warmth even once the weather turns wet. A dropped hem and 90-centimeter center back length bring real coverage through the coldest months, while rear waist adjustment dials in a personalized fit under a heavier layer or on its own. A close-fitting neck baffle and insulated zip baffle seal out draft at the two places cold air gets in first. What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:"I wore this through a sleety commute that would have soaked a normal down jacket flat, and the loft held up the whole way home. My neck never felt the draft other parkas let through at the collar."
