Prometheus Design Werx Tycho Down Hoodie - Universal Field Gray

Beschreibung

The Tycho Down Hoodie. Goose down mid-layers are the warmest to weight ratio performance jackets available today. They are also highly compressible making them ideal to pack small and stow in packs for wilderness travel. PDW raises the bar in this class of down garments with state of the art, premium, technical materials and signature design details to extend capability and usefulness. There is no more thermally efficient insulating fill material than nature's goose down. Go light, fast, and stay warm in the backcountry.

Water is the "down killer". As any seasoned outdoors person knows, wet down renders it useless as an insulator. Down's amazing natural thermal properties is inherent in its ability to trap warm air. However water will normally collapse the tiny air trapping filaments of down clusters. PDW uses state of the art DownTek™ brand premium 850 fill power goose down, which is hydrophobic, and stays drier 27 times longer than untreated goose down. Never use down garments as rain garments. That's a tenderfoot or city slicker move. However with our Tycho Down Hoodie, along with the DWR finish 20D micro-ripstop shell, the user has enough time to shrug off the first bit of rainfall and grab a waterproof shell to wear over.

PDW uses tried and true stitched baffle construction to distribute the goose down fill. We do not use welded baffles which only add extra weight and creates cold spots. Unlike any down mid-layer in this class, we use a brushed poly tricot hood liner for unrivaled comfort, additional warmth, and prevents that dreaded morning chill of cold-nylon-to-the-face every alpinist knows. The Tycho Down Hoodie stows into its own built in stuff-sack pocket and converts into a camp pillow. Additionally there is also a detachable stuff-sack that converts into a travel neck pillow. A total of 6 pockets, wire media pass through port in the chest pocket, cinch bottom and cinch hood rounds out the many details.

RDS certified means, ethically harvested down and best practices used in animal welfare.
