Why We Like The Mountain Hardwear Stretchdown Hooded Jacket
The Mountain Hardwear Stretchdown Hooded Jacket stands out as a technical midlayer, shining on its own on mild days at the crag and seamlessly layering beneath a shell on wet, rainy hikes. Featuring 700-fill goose down that efficiently traps heat while maintaining breathability, the jacket packs down small so we can have it close at hand on a moment's notice. The stretch fabric is incredibly durable, keeping us warm and comfortable whether we're belaying our climbing partner or scrambling over boulder fields on a summit push.

So durable!
I got this for climbing in the fall/winter and the durability exceeds my expectations. I boulder in it and haven't ripped it once. It can brush against pokey trees and branches, and still not a rip in sight. Impressed. It's also super stretchy so even with a couple of layers underneath, I still do'nt feel restricted.

Perfect jacket
This jacket is the best, I used it in Colorado on a snow snowshoe adventure in Rocky Mountain Park in February. Kept me dry and warm against negative temps. Light weight and warm, better then bulky puffy jacket. The sizing is accurate.

Stains easily, but fixable
I bought this jacket in the olive color. I too find that it stains incredibly easy and even on places that nothing spills on which I don't understand. Oil from my neck and face stains the collar as well. I have found however, that Dawn dish soap works pretty well. I just squirt a little to cover the spots, let it sit for bit and then put it in the wash on cool or cold with a little tide. (by the way, this works on any clothing that you spill grease or oil on). Comes clean every time. It is a pain in the butt to keep doing this, however I love the fit of the jacket (I am apple shape and I appreciate it not being so form fitting) and it's very light and still warm. Perfect for New England winter.

My favorite down jacket
This is a fantastic active down jacket whether you're out climbing or just running errands around town. It's got all the features you want- fleece lined pockets, stretchy fabric, elastic cuffed wrists, double zippers; plus it's incredibly cozy. I love wearing it on cold mornings when I'm out guiding in the desert. I am in-between medium and large in MHW clothes so I got a large so it would be nice and roomy for layers, though I don't often need very many because it's so warm! Highly recommend this jacket!

WOW! Amazing down hoody
This down hoody is amazing. It is the perfect weight for staying warm without the bulk. The baffled construction ensures that there are no cold spots anywhere. The best part is the super soft and stretchy outer fabric. I was simply amazed that I never felt restricted in the hoody even when wearing a more form fitted jacket. I am 5’3 and 120 lbs and I am fairly small but have broad shoulders. The size chart suggested a size small but I opted for a size medium instead. The smaller size would have worked fine if using the down hoody for an insulating layer under a shell but it felt a bit too tight for wearing over a couple of base layers. The size medium fit me perfectly. As a fulltime mountain guide I get out into many diverse environments for days at a time. I field-tested the down hoody during a desert on a rock-climbing trip. Temperatures were near freezing at night and around mid 60s to 70 during the days with a few cold and stormy days. The hoody was incredibly warm and comfortable. I wore it on several hiking trips and it moved well with my body. I was amazed at how durable the soft fabric was. I brushed up against many prickly and sharp things and never got any tears. I also wore the hoody as a belay parka and it was perfect during the frosty mornings. The bottom zipper zips up allowing easy access to the belay loop. The hood fits over the helmet about ¾ of the way so it is never blocking the view or feeling cumbersome. The chest pocket is perfect for a cellphone and the hand warmer pockets are super soft.

Stretchy and Warm
I'm a climber on the Front Range of Colorado and I need gear that can keep up with rapidly changing weather conditions. I'm a medium and this puffy fits true to size with a bit of room for layering. They added a bottom zipper to this most recent version of the Stretchdown Hoody, which is a great improvement that allows access to a belay device on cold mornings at the crag. The 700 fill is nice and warm without being suffocating, and the big puffy hood fits over a helmet. The Stretchdown material allows full range of motion with no constriction around the underarms when you reach across your body. Good for belaying, camping, walking your dog, whatever!

Must have, great for athletic outdoorsy activities
I am rock climber and mountaineer. I used this Womens Stretch Down Hoody for my recent hikes and climbs in Canyons of Utah. Since the days are short post fall, we need good warmth while backpacking, belaying and climbing. It provides real good insulation, thanks for 700 fill. It's slightly longer over the waist which is what I always needed from my puffy jacket. I am usually an S and this S fit is great. Can be used in addition with fleece or down vest if going for winter camping or adventure activities in colder temperatures. Best part is the design which considers all kinds of motion that we do in outdoor activities. This is a must take if you are going to climb or belay in chilly weather. It is durable, packability is great and hood is the best part.
