MEN’S DOWN SWEATER HOODY
Advertisement
I’ve had down outerwear before, but never anything like this. Patagonia’s classic Down Sweater Hoody is astonishingly lightweight and windproof, functioning as both an outer layer in mild to cool conditions and a mid layer when it’s colder. It has an adjustable hood, the center-front zipper has an interior storm flap and a zipper garage; there are two zippered handwarmer pockets, two interior drop-in pockets and a zip interior-chest pocket that converts to a stuffsack.
Despite its 800-fill-power down (or make that 100% Responsible Down Standard down, certified by Control Union), it packs down to about the size of a one-litre water bottle. As you might expect from Patagonia, the shell is also responsibly sourced, made from NetPlus 100 per cent post-consumer recycled nylon ripstop made from recycled fishing nets. The same top is also available in jacket and vest formats. It comes in a range of sizes from double-extra small to triple-extra large, and five colours.
