Our Verdict
The Patagonia DAS Light Insulated Hoody offers lightweight warmth and weather resistance, making it a reliable companion for alpine climbing and fast-paced mountain activities.
With 65g of PlumaFill synthetic insulation, the jacket provides down-like warmth that retains its performance in damp conditions. The 10-denier Pertex Quantum Pro outer fabric, made from recycled nylon, enhances wind and moisture resistance while maintaining a durable, lightweight design. At 337g (size M), it is highly packable and easy to stow during transitions.
Key features include a helmet-compatible hood with single-pull adjustment, a two-way front zip for harness access, and three external pockets for secure storage. While the lack of internal dump pockets and an adjustable hem may limit functionality for some users, its core design focuses on efficiency and simplicity. The innovative quilting minimises stitching, maintains loft, and reduces heat loss.
