Description

The Baltoro Jacket is a down insulated jacket made by The North Face. It has an average rating of 4.5 stars (out of 5), based on 6 user reviews.

Here's what other sites are saying:

From Backcountry Outlet:
"The North Face Baltoro Jacket is an 800 fill power goose down juggernaut of a jacket that for mountaineering pursuits could become as indispensable as your sleeping bag. In fact, it kind of wears like a sleeping bag comfortable and toasty. The North Face Baltoro Jacket has a 30 Denier Gore DryLoft shell that is breathable, water resistant, and windproof. The Radiant Taffeta lining is infused with a metallic coating that actually reflects body heat, and won't let it escape out of the jacket. It's so effective, that The North Face actually removed this lining from a less burly jacket because it was TOO warm. In other words, the Baltoro Jacket is the pinnacle of warmth."

"I have the black North Face Baltoro down parka, non-detachable hood, Summit Series, 800 fill model which I've worn every winter season now for the past four years. I love the coat and have many good things to say about it and just one, maybe two bad things about it."

"This review is similiar to the MH Absolute Zero Parka review. Note: I have no circulation problems in my arms. There was a cold spot on the lower part of my left arm between my wrist and elbow. The down moves too much and there is not enough down."

"Last year, while ice climbing at night with Dan Osman above Emerald Bay in South Lake Tahoe, we swapped his Baltoro, affectionately tagged "The Sleeping Bag," as a belay jacket. While belaying in the Baltoro, you could sit perfectly still in the biting wind for a long pitch, the air temp plummeting as midnight approached, and you might as well have been in the tropics."

"Excellent jacket. I live in Norway where it can get pretty cold, but this jacket keeps me toasty even under the worst conditions. The Gore Dryloft fabric shell has helped this jacket keep me dry as well as warm. With the detachable hood in use, there's absolutely no way for one to lose that crucial body heat."

Reviewed by an anonymous hiker, Sep 06, 1997

"If you want an extreme, baffled and exceptionally durable jacket, that is not too constictive than this jacket's for you. Very warm and has a detachable hood. Has all the features needed for serious mountaineering. If you're someone like me who doesn't like long and cumbersome down jackets than this is what I recommend."
