Built for the coldest belays and the most unforgiving winter objectives, the Taiss Pro Belay IN Hooded Jacket is Mammut’s answer to true expedition-level insulation. Designed to pull on over your hardshell, it delivers massive thermal output without bulk, using a strategic blend of DRY DOWN and high-loft synthetic fill in high-wear zones. The result is a fortress of warmth engineered for vertical terrain, icy ledges, and long nights spent waiting for the next window of weather.
A Pertex® Quantum Pro 10D shell—reinforced with Pertex® Diamond Fuse technology—gives this jacket the rare combo of ultra-light feel and impressive abrasion resistance. Box-wall baffles eliminate cold spots entirely, letting the 850-fill hydrophobic down fully loft no matter how harsh the conditions become. Everything is built for real winter use: oversized VISLON® zippers that operate cleanly with gloves, a climbing-helmet-friendly hood, harness-access options, and a built-in neck-gaiter tunnel that traps every last degree of heat.
From the synthetic reinforcement at the forearms to the high-mounted hem adjustment and stretch cuffs, every detail reflects cold-season practicality. When temperatures plunge and the mountain turns hostile, this is the belay jacket you want clipped to your harness.
