FAQs

Founded on the ridges of Mt Buller, Blanc was born from a desire to prioritize elite utility over expensive brand status. By stripping away multi-million dollar marketing campaigns, corporate sponsorships, and retail middlemen, we deliver premium outerwear straight to you. Our focus remains entirely on high-performance alpine engineering and timeless, minimalist design.
The Arctic Ascent Parka delivers the quality of jackets retailing at twice the price. We completely bypass the traditional retail supply chain and heavy brand markups that inflate outdoor gear prices. This direct-to-consumer model allows us to channel our resources entirely into premium materials rather than a corporate premium.
The jacket is engineered with an elite 21,500mm waterproof membrane. This heavy-duty hydrostatic barrier is built to withstand torrential wind-driven rain, heavy sleet, and wet coastal snowpacks. Combined with full seam taping, it ensures you stay completely dry from first chair to last run.
The jacket uses 195g of 700-fill RDS certified down insulation, with 10% synthetic insulation in high-output zones at the shoulders and underarms. This hybrid approach maintains warmth where you need it most without overheating during high-intensity laps.
The Arctic Ascent Parka features 100% heat-bonded taped seams to eliminate microscopic needle-hole leaks. We use premium YKK VISLON AquaGuard exterior zippers engineered to prevent freezing and jamming in severe alpine conditions.
