Lowe Alpine have produced an absolute winner with the Frozen Sun Jacket, it uses the perfect blend of Polartec Alpha synthetic insulation & technical fabrics to produce a superb winter mountaineering jacket. The highly breathable nature of the filling makes this jacket more suitable for active users in demanding conditions, if you are looking for static warmth we would recommend a down or Primaloft filled jacket. Polartec Alpha is a woven insulation fabric; think of it like a fluffy string vest, & is much more stable & durable than other synthetic insulation. Because of its more open weave it allows air to flow much more easily, rapidly drawing moisture away from the body creating comfortable breathable insulation for active use in in cold conditions. Lowe have used two different weights of Alpha to maximise performance & minimise weight; the body uses 100g/m² & the arms use 80g/m². To keep you protected from the elements the Frozen Sun uses a Pertex Microlight Stretch fabric which, as the name suggests, has built in stretch for ease of movement, is very lightweight & has a Durable Water Repellant to resist all but the worst of the weather. Even the mesh lining has built in stretch so this jacket feels superb when you get it on. Should your jacket get soaked the synthetic Alpha insulation & the Pertex fabrics all dry out exceptionally quickly. Featuring a helmet compatible hood with a wired peak, harness compatible hand pockets, a chest pocket & a soft lined collar for enhanced comfort. We reckon this is the best example of any Alpha insulated jacket & really makes use of the insulations amazing properties.

The Metanoia is named after an un-repeated route first climbed by the founder of Lowe Alpine, Jeff Lowe. In 1991, after 9 days alone & unsupported on the North face of the Eiger, he completed a visionary new route, which he called Metanoia. This brilliant pack celebrates Jeffs bold & uncompromising style of climbing with its clean & uncluttered design & lightweight, strong & technical construction & is perfect for expedition climbing or extended winter mountaineering trips. To achieve the nirvana of lightweight & strength Lowe have developed a highly tear resistant Tri Shield fabric which is 54% stronger than traditional PU coated fabrics but a lot lighter. This makes up the main body of the sack with heavier duty material covering the main wear areas. The single large compartment is accessed through a traditional lid opening which has a large extending valance to increase the carrying capacity & a webbing top strap to either compress the load or attach ropes & crampons. The whole top lid can be removed to create a stripped down Metanoia for fast final ascents or if you just need to keep the weight to a minimum. Load carrying is taken care of by the Adaptive fit shoulder harness & padded hip belt; Adaptive fit allows for a wide range of body sizes from a fixed harness. The back panel is covered with a water & snow shedding material over moulded padding with ventilation channels & is designed to sit close to your back for security & stability on technical climbs & long approaches. The back system is supported by an internal wire frame which can be removed to reduce weight & there is a removable foam pad for use as a bivvy/seat pad. The padded hip belt distributes the loads for long approaches & can be stripped down to a simple webbing belt to not interfere with your climbing harness; the padded section tucks away into a sleeve on the side of the pack. Your essential winter tools can be carried on the Metanoia using Lowes brilliant Head Locker & Web Catcher systems that quickly & securely attaches ice axes, skis. walking poles & probes etc. Gear loops on either side of the pack take care of climbing gear & twin tape daisy chains down the front provide additional attachment points or storage. Zipped pockets on the lid take care of any bits & bobs that you need quick access to.
