Patagonia pulled a page from the official warmth-to-weight-ratio field guide to make the Men's Ultralight Down Hoody. Top-notch 800-fill-power premium European goose down traps heat and the special edition nylon ripstop shell fabric, the lightest we've ever used for down, is half the weight and has twice the strength of our other down shell fabrics. The sewn-through construction, tight channel pattern and just the right amount of down increase versatility for use in more moderate temperatures and diverse activities; a Deluge DWR (durable water repellent) finish sheds snow. The slim silhouette (and low-profile, adjustable hood) maximizes thermal efficiency and suits its ideal uses: belay parka over light layers at shady autumn crags, minimalist summer alpine bivies and unmatched warmth layered under a shell. Pockets include: two zippered handwarmers and one zippered chest. A drawcord hem helps keep in the heat. Stuff sack included.
