With a bold minimalist design, the Approach Down Hoody makes it easy to layer: either over your technical tops when evening approaches on long, sustained routes, or under a shell jacket on ice routes or mountaineering expeditions. The Approach Hoody’s ultra-lightweight ripstop nylon features revolutionary waterproof-breathable technology invented by Green Theme International – an eco-friendly, PFC-free water-repellent treatment with superior performance that’s far more durable than most conventional water-repellent solutions. Inside, premium HyperDRY™ 800-fill RDS-certified goose down insulation provides high fill power and provides highly compressible, highly thermally efficient protection that resists the elements. When the time comes, the jacket stows away in its handwarmer pocket and clips to your harness with an integrated carabiner loop.
