Initial Thoughts on the Black Diamond Deploy Down Hoody
This is one of the lightest down hoodies on the market and packs a serious punch when it comes to effective insulation. Due to its small form factor, it makes for a great mid-layer under a hardshell during alpine tours. It packs down super small, making it a no-brainer to toss into your backpack for any adventure, and thanks to hydrophobic down, if the cardio gets a bit more intense than you planned, you’ll still stay nice and toasty.
