The Black Diamond Belay Parka for men is a crucial piece of gear for staying warm and protected during harsh winter conditions, especially during belays, exposed bivouacs, and in cold alpine environments worldwide. Black Diamond has revamped and upgraded the 2023 version of the Belay Parka to withstand challenging conditions where you might need to bail or face extreme weather while climbing.
This new iteration of the Belay Parka is built to withstand tough belay conditions on both short winter climbs and extensive alpine routes. It allows climbers to stay cozy and sheltered while their climbing partner takes on the challenging lead. Renowned as one of the warmest synthetic jackets, it incorporates 200gsm mapped Primaloft Rise insulation alongside Primaloft Gold Cross Core, strategically placed throughout the body, shoulders, and hood. The jacket's 50D PFC-free ripstop shell offers protection from the elements, and a 20D nylon taffeta liner adds an extra layer of warmth.
Designed with functionality in mind, the Belay Parka includes a two-way zipper, providing easy access to your belay device without compromising warmth. Additionally, it boasts oversized hand, chest, and internal drop pockets that can accommodate gloves, water bottles, and other essential items you might need while climbing.
