\"The
The Peak XV jacket, keeping Brittany warm during the Polar Vortex.<\/figcaption><\/figure>Earlier this season, I met a man who said to me, \u201cI can\u2019t find a down jacket that\u2019s warm enough for my wife.\u201d This expedition-style 850-fill power goose down is the perfect jacket for this man\u2019s wife! I\u2019ve never owned a warmer jacket. With so many abnormally cold days this winter, and the onslaught of the \u201cPolar Vortex\u201d, the Peak XV was the jacket that gave me the capability to continue to enjoy my outdoor adventures despite the cold weather. The Peak XV comes with a DWR water-resistant shell to shed the falling snow, a soft turtling collar for nestling the face, and an integrated hood that even fits over my ski helmet. Hands-down, this is the best big down jacket I have ever owned!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

To top it off, the Peak XV is parts of the FirstAscent line created by Eddie Bauer. What most people don\u2019t realize, is that Eddie Bauer is the original creator of retail down jackets<\/a>. Bauer suffered a bout of hypothermia while on a fishing trip in 1923, and decided that heave wool outer garments had to be replaced with something better. Bauer remembered stories, told by his uncles, of goose down clothing worn by the military during the Russo-Japanese war. So, he began experimenting with goose down. And ultimately began inventing the down jacket that we have today. <\/p>\n

If you need a warm down jacket for those coldest of cold days, the Peak XV<\/a> is for you. It comes in both men\u2019s and women\u2019s cuts. Don\u2019t let that cold get to you. Stay warm! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
