I'm Abigail Scott, an author, adventurer, and mother of three. When I'm not navigating the beautiful chaos of motherhood, you can find me tackling the turbulent waters as a professional whitewater kayaker or scaling impressive rock faces as a climbing guide. The rush of adrenaline, whether from kayaking or climbing, is a feeling I cherish deeply. But the thrill doesn't stop there; I capture the breathtaking allure of nature through my lens as a professional photographer. And when I'm not submerged in the wild, my software engineering skills amplify my outdoor pursuits, allowing me to harness technology in unique ways. Through my writings, whether articles or blog posts, I share not just my adventures but my heart, hoping to spark a flame of inspiration in others to break boundaries and experience the world's wonders.

Description

Why We Love The Vision Down Parka

The Vision Down Parka from Black Diamond is the ultimate choice for those who face extreme cold conditions and take on challenging expeditions. However, this parka's exceptional warmth doesn't mean it's limited to outdoor adventures - it's just as perfect for cozying up around town. Whether you're scouting routes from base camp or waiting out a storm, the lightweight and lofty 800-fill down insulation will keep you comfortably warm. The down is also treated with HyperDry hydrophobic treatment, ensuring its insulation properties even in moisture-heavy environments like damp tents. The shell of the parka is water-resistant, effectively repelling light moisture. Furthermore, its fabric is dipped in Japanese Liquid Crystal Polymer, providing superior durability for enduring the rigors of climbing.
