User Review: Patagonia DAS Parka

Patagonia DAS Parka
Above: The current DAS Parka, which may differ slightly from the version reviewed.

Rating: rated 4 of 5 stars
Price Paid: $120-ish

My first belay jacket and it's been good to me. Wore it out in some foul Chicago winter weather as a test and it made me confident that it'd perform in the mountains. It did.

On an early spring climb of Longs with single digit lows and average winds I was toasty standing around camp and on climbing breaks. Never had to belay with it on, but I could see how the hem drawcord placement could be annoying. Fabric is on the silky side so don't expect to bushwack in it. Also it doesn't pack down like...er...down.

All in all I'm very happy.
