Best in Class
The Stratus Goose Down Hoodie has the most state-of-the-art technical features, design details, and is made with premium materials through out. PDW is committed to offering the best goose down hooded jacket in its class. The most amount of premium, hydrophobic down fill, the latest in lightweight, stretch performance fabrics, ample EDC-friendly pockets, and numerous other fine details all characterize the top tier standing of the Stratus.
Goose Down Excellence
The Stratus Hoodie checks off all the top tier boxes. When you'll wear one, you'll know why. #hikebikecampshootridedive
Water Repellant Goose Down
Why water repellant goose down? Wet and soaked down kills the ability of this premium natural insulating material to loft and trap warm air, rendering it completely useless. PDW uses our own Goose DownTek™, a clean chemistry treatment process for goose down to keep it 27 times drier than without. This means our treated goose down is able to retain its loft, trap warm air and keep you insulated even in damp/wet conditions. Superior performance from nature's most efficient insulator.
850 Fill Power
The core of every down jacket is the fill. PDW uses 850 fill power down fill, which sits squarely in the excellent range when it comes to quality. Simply put, this means that you have an excellent, high degree of loft for less weight and maximum insulating properties. Surrounding our premium down fill, is our state-of-the-art 20D stretch nylon shell; light, durable and features innovative, stitchless baffles. That translates to minimal bulk and superior freedom of movement.
Stretch Shell
Until recently, down-proof shell fabrics with stretch were not possible. This is where you couldn't have stretch and not have an unacceptable degree of down clusters working their way through the fabric weave. Using the industry's most advanced CNC textile milling machines, the latest in lightweight, down-proof, stretch shell fabrics were developed, and used in our Stratus Hoodies. Other details include using the industry's best YKK zippers and of course smartly placed pockets, which characterize all of PDW's apparel designs.
New Updates
We can't help but always look for ways to improve our designs. In addition to several new colors, we added the much loved and useful inside stash pockets, which come in handy for storing gloves, beanies, energy bars, to keeping your personal electronic devices' batteries warm in frigid weather. We actually now feature a total of 6 handy, EDC-friendly pockets in our Stratus Hoodie.
RDS Certified
In keeping with our beliefs for humane treatment, RDS Certified means ethically harvested down and best practices used in animal welfare according to established international standards.
Camp and Travel
Extending the usefulness of our Stratus even further, we designed an integrated camp pillow feature into the jacket. By simply turning either one of the hand pockets inside out and stuffing the jacket inside, you can convert this into a handy camp pillow. Perfect for backpacking and mountaineering. And for a final little extra, we also include an extra brushed tricot stuff sack that can also convert the Stratus into a travel neck pillow.
Long Life
On average, PDW apparel is designed and made to last a minimum of 5 seasons. Durability, high level function, performance and less waste are integral to PDW's product mission. While actual mileage is highly subjective and based on an individual's use and lifestyle, we strive to build goods to last, beyond the industry's typical life cycle standards, and we do not subscribe to wasteful "fast fashion" or disposable consumerism.
Pro-Line
PDW is committed to working with the world's best partner factories in the making of our goods. Whether here at home in the States, or beyond to vetted, top tier partners across the globe. Our commitment means that we can deliver the best-made goods we can to our customers.

I'm getting disappointed that its getting warmer out since I'll have to put this jacket away for the year. Love it, my favorite by far over Patagonia, OR and Mountain Hardware, comfortable against the skin, light weight and stretchy so it fits when I move. The only downsides (2 minor ones) is that I can't cinch the sleeve cuffs and adjust the hood, other than that... it's an absolutely wonderful jacket.

Great packable midlayer jacket
I was amazed how light weight this jacket was for how warm it keeps me. I liked that I could pack it together in the hoodie and use it as my camo pillow. I cussed the zipper at first but after realizing it was a double zipper I understood it's operation and utilized it when trying to access my pants pockets. For the price it's worth every cent. Highly recommend.

Best winter coat I’ve worn
I have another in the blue colorway that is now my wife’s. That one lasted 2 years and looks and wears like it’s brand new. I only purchased a new one because I wanted the new interior glove pockets.

Stratus Down Hoodie Ranger Jacket
I Returned the jacket for a refund.. Zipper very hard to operate. Not worth the hassle. Would of been a good purchase but the difficult zipper to operate was a deal breaker !!
That's a bummer. We've found over the years that many folks who did not grow up around the snow and are used to using jackets with 2-ways zippers are often prone to not being very versed in their usage. For the rest of us that have used 2-way zippers for much our lives, have zero issues with their operation.
