The Manaslu keeps your core toasty warm while leaving your arms more freed up to swing and climb - important when you're on your way up, churning through mixed snow and ice at high-altitude. The torso has a wind- and water-resistant Pertex Quantum ripstop shell and insulation, and the arms, side panels and hood are shielded in breathable, warm Polartec PowerStretch fleece. This season, we changed the core insulation to Polartec Alpha because of its awesome breathability - which translates to dry comfort when you're on the move.

• Flat seams are set to minimize chafing from pack straps and harness
