Name: Stratus Down Hoodie - Shadow Gray
SKU: 545193

Best in Class. The Stratus Down Hoodie is our state-of-the-art, technical, goose down mid-layer hoodie. This is the most feature rich and technically advanced hooded goose down jacket in its class. When details make the design and details matter; our jacket features a unique stretch 20D nylon shell with stitch-less baffles, DWR, premium 850 fill power, hydrophobic , a cozy brushed tricot lined hood and hand pockets, 2 convertible pillow pockets, and new for 2024, an easy to engage 2-way Vislon YKK front zipper, and cinch hood.

These types of mid-layers are the warmest to weight ratio performance jackets available today. They are also highly compressible making them ideal to pack small and stow in packs for wilderness travel. PDW raises the bar in this class of down garments with premium, technical materials and signature design details to extend capability and usefulness. There is no more thermally efficient insulating fill material than nature's goose down. Go light, fast, and stay warm in the backcountry. Available in Shadow Gray. #stratusdownhoodie

Water is the "down killer". As any seasoned outdoors person knows, wet down renders it useless as an insulator. Down's amazing natural thermal properties is inherent in its ability to trap warm air. However water will normally collapse the tiny air trapping filaments of down clusters. PDW uses state-of-the art, premium, 850 fill power, treated goose down, which is hydrophobic, and stays drier 27 times longer than untreated goose down. Never use down garments as rain garments. That's a tenderfoot or city slicker move. However with our Stratus Down Hoodie, along with the DWR finish 20D stretch nylon shell, the user has enough time to shrug off the first bit of rainfall and grab a waterproof shell to wear over.
PDW uses a unique stitch-less baffle construction which was created by a special mill that actually weaves two layers of fabric together only at the contact lines. We do not use welded baffles which only add extra weight, bulk and creates cold spots. Unlike any down mid-layer in this class, we use a brushed poly tricot hood liner for unrivaled comfort, additional warmth, and prevents that dreaded morning chill of cold-nylon-to-the-face every alpinist knows. The Stratus Down Hoodie stows into its own built in stuff-sack pocket and converts into a camp pillow. Additionally there is also a detachable stuff-sack that converts into a travel neck pillow. A total of 6 pockets, wire media pass through port in the chest pocket, and cinch bottom rounds out the many details.
