Description
Why We Like The Black Diamond Approach Down Hoodie
Black Diamond's Approach Down Hoodie always ends up at the top of our packs just in case we need a bit more warmth on the climb. Black Diamond designed it for expeditions, ice climbs, or belaying on multi-pitches, but we'll take it on nearly any hike with a chilly weather forecast.
We especially appreciate that the DWR treatment is made environmentally friendly and appears to be more robust than standard DWR treatments.
Details:
- Ultralight down insulator designed for alpine pursuits
- GTT DWR treatment offers environmentally friendly water-resistance
- HyperDry down insulation is light, lofty, and stays warm in wetness
- Packs into own pocket for compact storage
