Built for done-in-a-day, cold-weather alpine missions where moving fast and carrying less is the whole point, the Fitz Roy Down Hoody is a packable, midweight belay layer. It floods the belay stance with high-loft warmth, then self-stuffs into its own pocket so you can clip it, stash it and keep climbing when the route heats up.
Warmth comes from 800-fill-power 100% Responsible Down Standard down lofting under a 1.1-oz 20-denier Pertex® Quantum 100% recycled nylon downproof ripstop shell with a DWR finish made without intentionally added PFAS. Inside, a 0.8-oz 10-denier Pertex® Quantum NetPlus® recycled-fishing-net lining keeps the package light. It runs in a Regular fit at just 485 g (17.1 oz).
Standout features:
- Helmet-compatible hood — alpine hood with a single-pull drawcord and a high-loft draft collar
- Storm-flapped zipper — center-front Vislon® zipper backed by an internal storm flap
- Four exterior pockets — two handwarmer and two zippered chest pockets for easy access while belaying
- Self-stuffing — packs into the front-left pocket for stash-and-go carry
- Internal catch-all — large interior pocket with an elasticized opening
- Sealed hem and cuffs — elasticized cuffs and a dual-adjust cord-lock hem lock out drafts
Made in a Fair Trade Certified factory, so the people who sewed it earned a premium for their labor. The down is Responsible Down Standard certified (Control Union CU 880272), the shell and lining are recycled nylon (the NetPlus lining is made from recovered fishing nets to reduce ocean plastic), and the fabrics are bluesign® approved with a PFAS-free DWR.
The right pick for belaying long alpine and ice routes, chilly approaches and cragging on cold days, or as a packable warm layer for anyone who wants serious loft that disappears into a pack.
