Altrec Description: 800- fill goosedown with a Conduit SL laminate for warmth and waterproof protection. Designed for high altitude mountaineering.
Backcountry Description: Who knew it was this cold in Antarctica or in the high Himalayas? Mountain Hardwear did when they made their Absolute Zero Suit. Designed for times when you're switching to a Kelvin thermometer, the Absolute Zero suit covers you from head to toe in 800-fill down and weatherproof Conduit SL laminate. Internal suspenders keep the suit up comfortably, and two internal water bottle pockets keep your water close your body and consequently in liquid form. A 6-slider rainbow rear zip means you don't have to take the suit off when nature calls. Adjustable Velcro cuffs form a seal against thin, cold air and ankle zips let you get a good seal over your boots. Welded baffle construction is light and keeps down uniformly distributed over your body. For the most extreme environments on earth, the Absolute Zero Suit is an absolute no-brainer.

Reality Check | 
Getting back as promised after a field test. I have worn this suit several times in the northeast as a ski race official. Standing in place for six to seven hours at a time. Outside temp. -5 to 5 F, much lower wind chill factors, and driving snow. I have been toasty all day long. Plenty of room to wear my ski pants and shell underneath, including all the base layers. Pant cuff is too slim to cover ski or climbing boots fully zipped. The water bottle pockets are a little too small but adequate. The hood is large enough to wear a helmet underneath, but the velcro closure at the face is sloppy at best and hard to operate. Already I have had several zipper snags in all areas and the pulls are small and will require adding rope pulls to allow operation with gloves or mitts. One snag caused a tear in the fabric I am not happy with at the front. This would not be my choice for expedition climbing due to it's awkwardness of use. Overall a warm haven with a few design flaws.
