Description
Inspired by “no pack and a pared down rack” kind of days, the Approach Down Hoody easily layers over a sun hoody on brisk multi-pitch rock routes or under a shell on ice climbs and alpine missions. The Approach Hoody’s ultralight nylon ripstop shell features Green Theme International’s revolutionary Breathable Water Protection Technology—an environmentally friendly, PFC-free DWR that’s superior in performance and substantially more durable than other DWR solutions. Inside, premium 800-fill, HyperDRY™ goose down insulation offers high-lofting, incredibly packable warmth that resists inclement weather. When it’s time to move, the jacket stuffs into left front chest pocket and secures to your harness with a carabiner clip loop. For 2023, the fit, design, and sizing has been entirely updated.

The Perfect Alpine Adventure Jacket
Down jackets and I, historically, are not friends. They never fit me quite right for what I need them to do. I have broad shoulders and hips, a smaller waist, plus a short torso. This means that most jackets constrict movement at the shoulders and upper back or chest, have too much room in the midsection, barely zip over my hips and then ride up a

It Fits!!
I am a 5’10” female who after 60 years resigned myself to having to buy mens mediums to get coats to fit. I hated the mens cut and length but there were no alternatives… until now. I actually started by buying a BD mens medium, and while it fit it was still a mens style. On a whim (and a sale) I bought an XL womens hoody and it fit perfectly! I no
