Patagonia ultralight down jacket men s review.

The ultralight down jacket combines 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 with a superlight 15 denier 100 nylon pertex quantum shell for a lightweight toasty warm down jacket. The patagonia ultralight down hoody has one of the better looking hoods and it cinches down to keep out the wind. The ultralight down hoody 9 6 ounces in medium is the next lightest down jacket we have tested after the mountain hardwear hooded ghost whisperer 7 5 ounces in size medium. The patagonia ultralight down jacket is the hoodless version of the patagonia ultralight down hoody that we did a more complete review of.

However compared to jackets made with ultralight 7d and 10d fabrics like the patagonia micro puff the down sweater feels much more ready for vigorous use. The interior of the jacket has a separate sewn in 20d liner which nicely balances lightweight and sufficient protection if you happen to have a zippered layer underneath. We also really like the blue color.
