The Expedition 8000 is designed as the ultimate cold-weather suit, engineered to endure the harshest conditions, whether conquering an 8000m summit or traversing polar ice caps. Insulated with 850FP European goose down and constructed with durable, weather-resistant Pertex® Quantum Pro outer fabric, it is crafted to preserve warmth in the planet's most frigid environments.

The suit features a downproof Pertex® Quantum lining and box-wall baffle construction with a differential cut, enhancing loft to maximise heat retention. The down insulation extends into a helmet-compatible hood, equipped with a wired peak and adjustable fit to seal in warmth and keep adverse weather at bay.

Providing protection in extreme environments, the suit offers ample space for layering and is optimised for mobility, enabling ease of movement on challenging terrains. It incorporates a five-zip side vent running from the ankle to the wrist, offering exceptional airflow control, especially useful during warmer conditions. Designed for practicality, the suit includes an extended-length two-way front zip (ideal for convenience), multiple storage pockets, internal adjustable braces, and oversized features suitable for use with mitts. Each detail has been refined to meet the rigorous demands of expeditions.
