Black diamond stance belay jacket review.
Designed as an ultra warm climbing belay jacket the black diamond stance parka is built to keep you warm on cold days.
Putting it on is like wearing a sleeping bag that you can easily move in.
Fit finish details are all excellent.
The un coated pertex nylon shell is excellent.
The black diamond stance belay pants are great for staying warm in the deep freeze.
Quality of the stitching is good and the feel is quite good.
Featuring thermolite insulation this parka is like wearing a sleeping bag if your sleeping bag was compatible with a harness and actually offered full use of your arms.
Skiing ice climbing not having to pick up dog poop are all great.
After much hemming and hawing between the das parka from patagonia and the cierco from arc teryx i opted for the black diamond stance.
It quickly became my staple jacket.
So i checked on sizing with black diamond.
The first thing i tell people and what others are noticing is how warm this jacket is.
It s plenty trim yet it keeps you toasty with ease.
But there s something special about being warm and cozy while breathing subzero air.

Black diamond stance belay parka.
Black diamond created the belay parka for those mind numbingly cold days when your teeth are chattering and you re seriously contemplating taking up beach volleyball.
One hundred and eighty grams of thermolite insulation is packed into the body arms and hood of the coat wrapping you in a warm glowing cocoon of comfort.
They assured me that the jacket was cut oversized and a large would work for me at 6.
So durable that this jacket is not quilted the insulation is only sewn in at the edges.
So it seems like a good time to finish up this review.
The hood is large and very well insulated.
