Black Diamond W Approach Down Hoody

With a clear minimalist design, the Approach Down Hoody allows for easy layering: either over your technical tops when the evening approaches on long demanding routes or under a waterproof jacket while ice climbing or on high-altitude tours. The Approach Vest features an ultra-light ripstop nylon outer layer that utilizes the revolutionary moisture-wicking technology from Green Theme International – an eco-friendly, PFC-free water-repellent treatment with superior properties that is significantly more durable than most other classic water-repellent solutions. Inside, high-quality HyperDRY™ 800 goose down, certified by RDS, provides excellent loft and offers ultra-compact protection with high thermal efficiency that is weather-resistant. When the moment comes, the jacket can be packed into its left chest pocket and attached to your harness with an integrated carabiner loop clip. For 2023, the fit, style, and size of this jacket have been completely redesigned. Equipped with GTT Empel™ technology, a revolutionary water-repellent DWR treatment that is free from water and PFC, offering superior performance and significantly more durability than other DWR solutions. Insulated hood with one-handed adjustable drawstring. YKK Vislon Slim® front zipper with reduced bulk. Two YKK® zippered hand pockets and one zippered chest pocket. Integrated storage bag with loops for carabiners. Hood with elastic drawstring and elastic cuffs. Regular XS-XL 285 g.
