Five jackets in one, down to −30 °C / −22 °F.
The Stormtech Fairbanks PXR-2 combines a parka-length HD nylon shell at 170 g/m², an H2XTREME® 8,000 mm / 8,000 g/m² membrane with fully sealed seams and a zip-out Thermal Shell™ insulated liner with removable sleeves. Snap-off insulated hood, waterproof chest pockets. Comfort −10 °C / 14 °F to −30 °C / −22 °F*, S to 5XL.
The Stormtech Fairbanks PXR-2 is a modular men's parka built for extreme cold. Its parka-length shell in HD Taslon nylon at 170 g/m² carries the H2XTREME® 8,000 mm / 8,000 g/m² membrane and fully sealed seams. Inside, a Thermal Shell™ insulated liner zips out, sleeves included. The insulated hood snaps off. Comfort from −10 °C / 14 °F to −30 °C / −22 °F*, from S to 5XL.
In Quebec a parka is judged across a whole season: you take the shell alone in October, zip the liner back in once the snow settles, pull the sleeves out at thaw. At −30 °C / −22 °F it is the insulated hood that makes the difference, far more than thickness across the back. Count on it from first frost to break-up.
The warmth comes from Thermal Shell™ insulation, a high-loft synthetic fill engineered for cold, damp conditions: its quilted construction stabilises the fill and reduces cold spots, the places where fabric presses flat against the skin. The HD nylon shell takes abrasion and blocks wind, the H2XTREME® membrane stops water while releasing vapour, and the fully sealed seams remove leaks at every stitch line. The parka length protects the lower back and upper thighs, the area any standard jacket leaves short. The full-coverage insulated hood handles head and neck, where a large share of body heat is lost at a standstill.
Because it replaces three jackets. A waterproof shell for a wet autumn, a quilted jacket for cold indoor spaces, a full parka down to −30 °C / −22 °F* once winter settles in. The HD nylon shell takes real use, the fully sealed seams keep water out, and Thermal Shell™ insulation holds its performance in damp conditions, where many fills flatten.
The Grand-Froid three-layer system: a breathable thermal base layer moves moisture away from the skin; an insulating 2nd layer traps body heat; a 3rd layer protects from wind and water. The Fairbanks PXR-2 brings the last two together in a single garment, and separates them when the season calls for it. Add a thermal base layer below −20 °C / −4 °F.
* Indicative thermal comfort from −10 °C / 14 °F to −30 °C / −22 °F. Perceived warmth depends on activity level, wind, humidity, body type and the layering system worn underneath.
