Between frosty New England belays and alpenglow sunsets viewed from the back bowls, retaining your hard-earned warmth calls for top-flight insulation. This new full-zip hoody features 800-fill-power down, stabilized through a quilted construction and protected by a superlight but tough, windproof and water-resistant shell (1.4-oz 22-denier 100% all-recycled polyester ripstop) with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish. Pockets: two zippered handwarmers and one interior zippered stretch-mesh that doubles as a stuff sack with carabiner clip-in loop. With a single-drawcord, helmet-compatible hood.

Technology
At Patagonia we seek to build the best product and cause no unnecessary harm. That's our mission statement, and it takes many forms. As it applies to making products, we work hard to source materials and use processes that are less harmful to the Earth without compromising quality. Because to us, quality is not only how well a product performs and holds up, but also how it's made.

The Good:
We use high-quality goose down, an exceptionally efficient insulator. The down comes from humanely-raised geese and is minimally processed. The light shell is made of recycled polyester.

What We Think:
We're investigating alternatives to the use of PFOA in water repellents - and looking for ways to recycle down garments.
