RidgeNote verdict

Weighing 330 g (11.6 oz), this hooded jacket pairs 900-fill-power down with a Pertex Quantum 10D recycled ripstop shell and TILT construction to limit down migration. Testers praise its impressive warmth-to-weight during freezing trail breaks. However, owners caution that the 10D shell fabric is delicate, requiring care near sharp rock or brush. The plain tradeoff is shell durability for minimal weight. It suits an alpine hiker needing packable warmth for cold, dry early-morning starts.
