Tenzing 1 Expedition Down Jacket \ten-zing\
850 fill
When you’re climbing the world’s tallest peaks, your life depends on the quality of
your gear. That’s why, during the design and testing of our Tenzing 1 Expedition
Jacket, we gathered input from experienced Sherpa guides on everything from
fabric choice to the smallest details. It’s overstuffed by 20% with 850 fill-power,
premium European goose down for maximum loft. And it’s built to stand up to the
extreme conditions found at “the top of the world.”

high mountain conditions
• Premium goose down fill handles temperatures down to -50° F
• Trapezoidal baffles keep feathers in place and reduce cold spots
