Expedition Down Parka

The Expedition Parka was first designed in the 1980s for scientists conducting research at McMurdo Station in Antarctica.
Built to perform in the world’s harshest climates, it continues to be tested and trusted each year by the National Science Foundation’s Polar Research Division at the South Pole.
Crafted from Recycled Organic Arctic Tech® fabric, this material is a modern evolution of our heritage textile, developed to deliver maximum protection in extreme cold.
