Ski touring requires particular attention to your choice of equipment. During ascent, it's often best not to wear too many layers to avoid overheating. On the way down, however, it's crucial to be well insulated from the cold. This is where the lightweight women's down jacket comes in: compact and easily compressible, it slips easily into your rucksack until you need it. Many recent models feature bi-material technologies that combine down and softshell to optimize warmth and breathability.
To discover the best brands specializing in this type of product, explore our selections from Patagonia, Rab and Ortovox.
When you set off on an alpine expedition in cold or even icy weather, good thermal insulation is essential. A warm but lightweight down jacket can make all the difference when it comes to the climatic variations encountered during your ascents. For this reason, choose down-filled models if warmth is your main concern, or synthetic materials if rapid moisture evacuation is a priority.
Investing in a reinforced down jacket may also be a good idea, to withstand the frequent abrasions of difficult climbs. Remember, every detail counts when you're up against the elements.
At AlpinStore, we have carefully selected the best brands offering a variety of options suitable for all types of mountain activities: Patagonia offers excellent value for money with its innovative models; Rab stands out for its advanced technology; while Ortovox combines technical performance with modern design.
