Black Diamond Approach Down Hoodie

The Approach Down Hoody, with its minimalist design, makes it easy to layer: either over your technical tops when it’s getting dark on long, strenuous routes, or under a protective jacket for ice climbing or alpine tours. The Approach Vest features an outer membrane made of ultra-light nylon ripstop, equipped with the revolutionary water- and breathable technology from Green Theme International—an eco-friendly, PFC-free water-repellent treatment with superior performance that is significantly more durable than most conventional water-repellent solutions. Inside, high-quality HyperDRY™ 800 RDS-certified goose down insulation provides excellent loft and offers ultra-compressible protection with high thermal efficiency that withstands the elements. When it matters, the jacket can be packed into the front left chest pocket and clipped to your climbing harness with an integrated carabiner loop. For 2023, the cut, style, and size of this jacket have been completely redesigned.
