Why We Like The Black Diamond Approach Down Hoodie

Black Diamond's Approach Down Hoodie always ends up at the top of our packs just in case we need a bit more warmth on the climb. Black Diamond designed it for expeditions, ice climbs, or belaying on multi-pitches, but we'll take it on nearly any hike with a chilly weather forecast.

We especially appreciate that the DWR treatment is made environmentally friendly and appears to be more robust than standard DWR treatments.
