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, making it weather-resistant. When the moment comes, the jacket can be packed into its left chest pocket and attached to a harness using an integrated carabiner loop clip. For 2023, the fit, style, and size of this jacket have been completely revamped. Equipped with GTT Empel™ technology, a revolutionary water-repellent DWR treatment that is free from water and PFC, offering superior performance and significantly greater durability than other DWR solutions. Insulated hood with one-handed adjustable drawstring. YKK Vislon Slim® front zipper in the center with reduced bulk. Two YKK® zippered hand pockets and one zippered chest pocket. Integrated storage bag with loops for a carabiner. Hood with elastic drawstring and elastic cuffs. Regular XS-XL 285 g.
