BLACK YAK<br />Heavy Duty Down Jacket <br />Winter 2017.18

PALI LINE MEN | PAW 7001

The Heavy Duty Down Jacket is made for very cold conditions, such as high altitude base camps. The water-repellent treated and traceable goose down (750 cuin) keeps the body warm and insulated, while resting as well as during activities. The jacket has been expedition tested and approved and is extremely durable. The top-stitching has been removed, a construction which avoids seam failure through thread damage. Its heat retention is excellent due to BLACKYAK’s “mesh box wall” construction. This “mesh box wall” construction allows the warm air inside the jacket to circulate from chamber to chamber which provides an excellent warmth.

Powerful and majestic, the Yak moves continuously up the mountain. Fully loaded with expedition material, these animals are used to strain and hard work. Their robust form has enabled them to survive the ice age, continuing under the most arduous conditions. They live in the Himalayan Mountains. Yak’s also benefit people in many ways. They give wool, milk, and meat. They are perfect for riding or transporting large and heavy loads. It is effectively the Sherpa of Sherpa’s. The best friend of the mountain climber.
