About this piece

When winter gets harsh, reach for the Star Route Parka. Big Agnes Signature Diamond Quilting, body-mapped down and synthetic insulations, no-draft design, and durable recycled shell fabric combine to lock in body heat, making this the ultimate layer for seriously cold adventures.  Designed for days when other jackets just won't cut it, the Star Route Parka is tough enough for tending horses out on the ranch, stylish enough for dinner with the in-laws, and warm enough for staying out late on brisk winter nights.

About the artist

Bill Gamber named the company after a peak near Steamboat Springs where he spent countless nights camping. In 2001 he had a simple insight: sleeping bags and pads always separate in the night, so why not build a sleeve that holds them together? That one idea launched a company. Big Agnes now designs everything from sub-2-pound ultralight tents to car camping palaces, all from their Steamboat headquarters at 6,700 feet.
