Abstract. We study the positions in the Weihrauch lattice of parallel products of various combinatorial principles related to Ramsey's theorem. Among other results, we obtain an answer to a question of Brattka, by showing that Ramsey's theorem for pairs (RT22) is strictly Weihrauch below the parallel product of the stable Ramsey's theorem for pairs and the cohesive principle (SRT22 × COH).
