The perfect warmth for just about everything, the classic Womens Down Sweater Hoody is lightweight and windproof with a 100% recycled polyester ripstop shell and 800-fill-power Traceable Down (goose down traced from parent farm to apparel factory to help ensure the birds that supply it are not force-fed or live-plucked).
Patagonia says
On shoulder-season days, when the sun turns a corner and the wind kicks up, it’s down time. The Down Sweater Hoody features 800-fill-power Traceable Down (European goose down traced from parent farm to apparel factory to help ensure the birds that supply it are not force-fed or live-plucked) stabilized through a quilted construction and protected by a superlight but tough, windproof and water-resistant shell fabric (100% recycled polyester ripstop) with a DWR (durable water repellent) finish. Pockets: two zippered handwarmers (the drawcord hem tightens from inside the pockets) and one interior zippered chest that doubles as a stuffsack with carabiner clip-in loop. With a single-pull adjustable hood and an updated, slightly longer and contoured fit.
Our Verdict
Patagonia's Womens Down Sweater Hoody is a super comfortable, highly practical down jacket. With 800-fill-power Down, a durable, windproof outer shell made with 100% recycled polyester ripstop and some simple, practical features it's no wonder this is known as a Patagonia 'classic'.
This is a pretty simple, no frills jacket. It's not the lightest by any stretch of the imagination but the shell fabric gives you a hard wearing, durable jacket over the potential weight savings. With two decent hand-warmer pockets and an internal chest pocket, which doubles as a stuff sack, there's plenty of storage. The jacket also has a simple drawcord hem and a single-pull adjustable hood.
