# La Sportiva Supercouloir 1000 Down Jacket Review
## Body
As I reached the third anchor, the wind howled inside the craggy couloir draped in heavy north-facing shade. I was shivering and my hands were going numb. I managed to reach for my La Sportiva Supercouloir 1000 down jacket from the gear loop on the back of my harness and put it on for immediate solace from the cold. The Supercouloir 1000 is highly compressible and easy to carry, making it an ideal choice for ice climbing, mountaineering, and backcountry skiing around Colorado. La Sportiva’s new Alpine Tech collection, including the Supercouloir Down 1000, is a significant advancement for the brand’s outerwear offerings.
