Black Diamond  Deploy Down 0.5 Full-Zip Hoody - Women's

This jacket is super light, and very warm for how light it is! There are definitely warmer jackets out there but this is exactly what I wanted. Just know that the material is very thin, and I would not wear this if you are doing anything strenuous, bushy, wouldn’t climb in it , but as long as you’re dry and using it for a camo jacket or something it’s all good

I waited a long time to purchase --partly because of the price, and partly because I worried about how easily such a lightweight shell might snag. I finally bought it because the color and design were too fabulous to resist. The warmth-to-weight ratio is fantastic, and the jacket feels amazing on. But even wearing it very cautiously, within a month I ducked under a branch in a parking lot and the fabric snagged in two places. Not exactly backcountry abuse—just normal life. I immediately had to order two repair patches… and a third for the inevitable next snag. It’s a beautiful, warm, ultralight layer, but be prepared to baby this jacket or patch it often.

I watched this jacket for a while before buying—it’s beautifully made, super lightweight, and packs down small. I also really love the color. My hesitation was how thin the shell material seemed and whether it might snag easily. Unfortunately, after wearing it maybe ten times in normal day-to-day use (no outdoor adventures yet), my concern proved right. While ducking under a small tree branch in a parking lot, the fabric snagged in two places - two holes! I’m super disappointed at this price point. I’ve ordered a couple of patch kits to repair the damage—and an extra one for the next inevitable snag. I wish the material were just a bit more durable because otherwise, this jacket is perfect in every way.
