If you're looking for a lightweight, active down hoody then this is the best you're going to find. So light, I barely even know it's there and packs down small enough to stow in my running vest. Stow pocket on the inside to hold my wallet if needed around town. Remember this is an active piece so you won't find the standard pockets but if used for its intended purpose you don't need that. Women's Medium fits me great. I'm 5'7" 155# with very athletic build and broad shoulders. Loose in all the right places for me to run and climb in. I haven't had the hoody all that Long so longevity is yet to be assessed but if like other BD products, I imagine this won't be an issue.
Wow, this is the lightest down jacket I have ever owned. I had to buy it, even though it was 95 degrees outside. I know this is going to be a favorite of mine for years to come. It fits true to size and looks amazing!
I bought this to wear for my first thru hike. SO far, I've worn it around town and love it. I can't wait to test it out this summer on the CO Trail.
Stopped by the SLC store last week and saw this jacket. It is so light and warm, I know it will become my new favorite!
This hoody is amazing! Incredibly light, cozy warmth, extremely packable. Perfect fit. Highly recommend!
Extremely light but one of the most perfect ones for cold conditions. Nice design
