Peak Performance Men's Helium Down Hybrid Hood Jacket True Black M

Weighing just 350 grams, this jacket delivers exceptional warmth-to-weight performance through a strategic combination of 700-fill-power recycled duck down and Pinneco® synthetic insulation. The hybrid construction places down in the core for maximum heat retention, while synthetic fill in moisture-prone areas like the shoulders and cuffs ensures reliable insulation even in damp conditions.

Overview

Engineered for versatility, the Helium Down Hybrid Hood serves as both a mid-layer under a shell and a standalone outer layer during cool, dry days. Its regular fit allows easy layering, while the fixed hood adds extra protection against wind and light rain. The jacket is crafted from 100% recycled polyamide with a PFC-free durable water repellent (DWR) finish, offering a responsible yet high-performance solution for outdoor enthusiasts.
