Patagonia Fitz Roy Women's Down Hoody

The Patagonia Fitz Roy Women's Down Hoody is a packable, midweight down layer built with belay-jacket warmth in mind. It is lofty and light, stuffing down small in a pack, and it drapes with the kind of heat only quality down delivers.

Why we like it:

The high-fill-power down is the highlight, giving you serious warmth for very little weight and packing away to almost nothing.

Features and Functions:

Patagonia insulates it with 800-fill-power 100 percent Responsible Down Standard down for a high warmth-to-weight ratio, wrapped in a feathery 20 denier recycled nylon Pertex Quantum ripstop shell with a DWR finish. A two-way center-front zipper adds comfort when you are wearing a harness, an insulated hood boosts warmth, and the jacket comes from a Fair Trade Certified factory.

Fit and Sizing:

The hoody has a regular, slightly relaxed cut that layers over a fleece, so plan on your normal size.

Bottom Line:

It is best as a warm, packable belay or standalone layer for cold days at the resort, the trailhead or around town. Ideal for women who want maximum warmth they can stuff in a pack.
