The Black Diamond Approach Down Hoody is designed for easily layering over everything from a tee-shirt at the summit to a sun hoody on multi-pitch rock routes. Pop it under a shell on ice climbs, bitter days in the backcountry, or those days when a fluffy midlayer is going to make riding the lift considerably more bearable. It’s an ultralight nylon ripstop shell featuring Green Theme International’s revolutionary Breathable Water Protection Technology, the environmentally friendly, PFC-free DWR that gives amazing and superior in performance with substantially more durable than other DWR solutions. Inside, the fluffy stuff that matters is a premium 800-fill, RDS-certified HyperDRY™ goose down insulation. High-lofting and marvelously packable this jacket not only sheds mist and light rain, but stuffs into its hand pocket and has a carabiner clip loop for securing to a pack, harness... or belt loop for that matter. The Approach even has flattering and interesting quilting channels for those days when you’ve pulled it on just to get around town. A modern upgrade to your flat and patched down midlayer complete with the new fabric tech and style to go with it.
