TOUGH ENOUGH FOR THE EPIC
From the heart of the Alaska Range to the highest peaks of the Himalaya, the Mission Collection is engineered for expeditions - built to provide simple, streamlined and uncompromising performance when it matters most.
Made with ultra-durable LCP-reinforced fabric and 800-fill down for expedition-grade warmth from the Torres to your sub-zero winter commute, the Black Diamond Mission Down 4000M Parka is built for cold conditions, wherever you may find them.
Reviewers describe the Men's Mission Down 4000 M as a true mega-puff belay parka that keeps them warm in extreme cold, from -25C days to -40 in Alaska, while still packing down small. They like the roomy fit that goes over all your layers, the long cut, the helmet-sized hood and the attention to detail. Critiques: it's expensive, a few noted down escaping through the shell, and one reviewer wished for baffled rather than sewn-through construction.

"Took this jacket out into the Idaho wilderness and was really happy with how it held up. It kept me warm during chilly mornings and evenings, but was still comfortable to wear while climbing in between attempts. It's lightweight, packs easily, and has been great for spending long days outside. Definitely a solid jacket that I'll be getting a lot of use out of!"
"Je me régale avec ma nouvelle Parka Mission Down 4000 ! C'est exactement ce qui me manquait mes sorties en montagne. Légère et chaude tout ce dont j'avais besoin. La coupe est parfaite pour les longs buste."
"This thing is so warm and packs up small. Overall a very good time :)"
"Every little detail got extra attention to make one heck of a mother mega puff. I love this thing."
"The warmest parka I’ve owned so far. Tested at -25°C and it didn’t disappoint. However, you definitely pay the price for it."
"cant wait to test this out on my trip to the andes"
"The Black Diamond Men’s Mission Parka is a great jacket overall. However, I was disappointed to find that the insulation construction is sewn-through rather than baffled, which isn’t ideal for a down parka at this level. You can also see the down through the fabric, which doesn’t bother me but might for others."
"I bought my black diamond 13 years ago still have it. . The only reason for 4 stars is only after a couple of uses the down material has popped out of the"
"Perfect fit for going over all of your layers."
"Super warm and cozy while still feeling pretty durable and burly. Fits great, super roomy without being too floppy."
