Black Diamond M Approach Down Hoody

The Approach Down Hoody is a clothing layer that can be worn over a shirt during cool multi-pitch routes or under a shell while ice climbing and in winter temperatures in alpine terrain. The ultra-lightweight nylon ripstop outer material of the Approach Hoody features the revolutionary Breathable Water Protection technology from Green Theme International. 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 inclement weather with ease. For transport, the vest can be packed into the left chest pocket and secured to a climbing harness with the integrated loop. For 2023, the fit, design, and size specifications have been completely revised. The Approach Down Hoody is ready for frosty autumn days, windy ridge traverses, and expeditions, offering immediate readiness and reliable warmth in alpine terrain with its incredibly small pack size.
