Selling one of the best belay jackets for cold mountains.

New, no tags. Only wore it inside a couple times inside, bought it at the start of the year thinking I would do lots of winter trips but fatherhood got in the way... Purchased it for US$500 + shipping, asking AU$550, your gain, my loss. Size small and grey color, pics here
I am based in Hobart but happy to ship anywhere.

Note that Feathered Friends replaced this jacket a couple months ago by the Khumbu, which retails for US$600.

Crazy warm for the weight and excellent craftmanship, look out for reviews, this jacket won't disappoint.

Fill Weight: 370g

Features:

Pertex fabric

Baffled construction

Large interior stash pocket

Zippered hand warmer pockets

Zipper draft flap & lycra trim seals out drafts

Fleece lined collar

850 fill down

The Frontpoint is a mid-length, fully baffled down jacket designed for cold winter conditions and high altitude mountaineering. The cut is roomy in the torso to accomodate other layers, and extends about four inches below the waist. The detachable hood is generously filled, wrapping around the sides to cover the lower part of the face, while the stiffened brim shields against wind and snow. The hood fits over a climbing helmet perfectly. Inside you will find large cargo pockets to carry water bottles, food, or anything else you want to keep from freezing. The Frontpoint Jacket is perfect for ice climbers or expedition climbing in Alaska, South America or for winter use in the greater ranges of North America.
