Further Information
For complete weather protection these down salopettes are made with 2 layer Tempest fabric and fully taped outer shells. They combine with the Omega or Xero Down Jackets to provide highly versatile packages, warm enough for the most severe conditions. For a lighter, simpler construction look at the Xero down salopettes.
"Peter Hutchinson makes probably the best down gear in the world"
Nick Lewis, Climb Magazine.
HS2 has now replaced Tempest as the standard outer fabric for the Omega Salopettes, making them lighter, more waterproof and more breathable than before. Tempest remains an option for trips where extra durability is the most important factor.
900 down option
This option reduces the weight of the Omega Down Salopettes by 50gm, and adds 5°C to their performance bringing the Typical Operating Temperature to -55°C. Read more on our exceptional 900 down.

†Please note: we make our stuff sacs big enough to allow fairly easy stuffing rather than reducing the salopettes to the tightest minimum. What air is left in the packed item will easily be compressed out of it, if you are squashing it into a small space in your rucsace. Tiny stuff sacs look impressive: but unless you are a sac-wrestling fan, fighting the gear into them day after day can be an unncecessary chore.
