Black Diamond M 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 offers 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-like, highly compressible warmth that withstands bad weather with ease. For transport, the vest can be packed into the left chest pocket and secured to the climbing harness with the integrated loop. For 2023, the fit, design, and sizing have been completely revised. The Approach Down Hoody is ideal for chilly autumn days, windy ridge traverses, and expeditions, offering immediate readiness and reliable warmth in alpine terrain with its incredibly small pack size.
