Hooded Nitrous Down Jacket - Men's

Down is nature's best insulator. It's also completely useless when it gets wet. Mountain Hardwear resolves the saturation issue with its water-resistant down found in the Men's Nitrous Hooded Jacket. Incredibly lightweight and packable, the Nitrous will serve as your go-to layering piece or stand-alone frigid weather jacket for your next hike or your next ski vacation.

The Nitrous jacket's face fabric is tough 30D nylon ripstop fabric. This wind-resistant fabric is soft and smooth to make layering easy. Mountain Hardwear then insulated the jacket with its Q.Shield 800-fill water-resistant down. The down fibers are permanently infused with a water-repellant, so it maintains its loft and its insulating properties when wet. An insulated, adjustable hood locks in heat where it's most likely to escape. The Nitrous' dual hem drawcords and comfortable, elasticizes cuffs seal out drafts to keep you warm in high winds, and the jacket stuffs into its own pocket for the minimum possible pack size when not in use.
