What is under 9 ounces and packs a punch of warmth when you need a layer at the summit, a midlayer to keep it comfortable on the slopes, and a cozy on a cold day? The Black Diamond Approach Down Women's Hoody is an ultralight down layering piece built for chilly fall days, breezy ridgelines and serious expedition. The Approach Down Hoody packs down to nothing in its own pocket, with a carabiner clip loop for attaching to your pack, hip belt, or belt loop, and shakes out to deploy into instant and dependable alpine-worthy warmth. Best of all, this jacket features GTT Empel™ Technology, a DWR water repellent that is permanently hyper-fused to the individual fabric fibers, so there’s no need to refresh this jacket with additional spray-ons, and Allied HyperDRY™ goose down, for a lightweight, packable, goose down jacket that’s protected from damp so it can protect you from cold. A piece that deserves a corner of your pack year around.
