The Austera Alpine Down Hoodie packs serious warmth into almost nothing
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I wore this on a late-season alpine start when the temps dropped hard above treeline, and the 850 fill down kept me warm without ever feeling heavy on my shoulders. The helmet-compatible hood was clutch once the wind picked up on the ridge, I just cinched it down and kept moving."
There's a specific kind of cold that shows up above treeline before sunrise, the kind that gets into your fingers before you've even started climbing, and the Austera Alpine Down Hoodie is built for exactly that moment. Slide it on over a base layer at the trailhead in the dark, cinch the adjustable hood down against the wind, and feel the 850 fill down go to work before your body heat even catches up.
What makes it disappear into the background of a big day out is how little it asks of you. The high hand pockets sit above your hip belt and harness so they stay accessible even when you're loaded up, and the left-hand pocket doubles as a stuff sack for the trip back down, once the sun climbs high enough that you're ready to shed a layer and keep moving.
