Quick take — Eiger Nordwand Pro Down Parka
An expedition-warm over-the-shell parka—Mammut’s warmest women’s coat—for true cold snaps and exposure. Built for stops: chairlifts that bite, transitions, hut approaches, or walking around town when it’s single-digits.
Eiger Nordwand Pro Down IN Parka (Women) — Mammut’s warmest coat.
What it is — Eiger Nordwand Pro Down Parka
Mammut’s warmest women’s coat with an insulated hood, long cut, and roomy patterning so it fits on top of your ski shell. A two-way front zip, large hand-warmer pockets, and internal drop pockets for skins/gloves make it practical during pauses. Packs into a lightweight, water-resistant stuff sack (included).
When to use it
Frigid chairlift rides & transitions: throw it over your shell while stopped, then stow it to ski.
Above-treeline exposure days: wind-chilled breaks, belays, summit pauses.
Hut/town: ultra-warm winter coat for before/after ski hours.
Fit & sizing — Eiger Nordwand Pro Down Parka
Relaxed, over‑shell fit. Choose your usual size if you’ll wear it over a shell + mid; size up only if your midlayers are very bulky. The longer hem helps seal out drafts while seated on lifts.

Good pairings

Should you buy the Eiger Free Advanced HS Jacket?
Best for: very cold resorts, windy ridgelines, photographers, guides, or anyone who spends time stopped in winter conditions.
Skip it if: you want one do-everything jacket to wear on descents—a hardshell (Eiger Free/Nordwand) plus a warm mid is more versatile.
