Patagonia Ultralight Down Hoody - REVIEW
The Patagonia Ultralight Down Hoody gets its gravity defying weight from the outer nylon fabric (which is the lightest available for down garments) and the highly compressible 800-fill goose down fill. This down is 60% of the weight of a traditional 650 and it is not only lighter but also more insulating. The rip stop nylon outer shell is half the weight of that used on most other down hoodies and it is also twice as strong. The sewn-through construction and tight channel pattern provide a slim silhouette which ensures good thermal efficiency when used under a shell or as a stand-alone layer. To keep the heat in there is an adjustable hood (great feature and a must on any down jacket, in my opinion) as well as a drawcord hem which also helps if you take a spill. To round things out the Patagonia Ultralight Down Hoody has a Deluge® DWR (durable water repellent) finish to shed snow and light rains.
