Black Diamond Approach Down Hoody

The Approach Down Hoody is a layer of clothing that can be worn over a shirt on cool multi-pitch routes or under a shell while ice climbing and in winter temperatures in alpine terrain. The ultralight nylon ripstop outer material of the Approach Hoody is equipped with Green Theme International's revolutionary Breathable Water Protection technology. This is an environmentally friendly, PFC-free DWR coating that demonstrates superior performance and durability compared to other DWR solutions. The insulation made from RDS HyperDRY goose down with a fill power of 800 provides down-soft, highly compressible warmth that withstands bad weather effortlessly. For transport, the vest can be packed into the left chest pocket and can be attached to a climbing harness using the integrated loop. For 2023, the fit, design, and size specifications have been completely revised. The Approach Down Hoody is ready for immediate use and offers reliable warmth in alpine terrain for frosty autumn days, windy ridge walks, and expeditions, all while boasting an incredibly small pack size.
