Stratus Down Hoodie - Outpost Blue

The Stratus Down Hoodie is our state-of-the-art, technical, goose down mid-layer hoodie. When details make the design and details matter; our jacket features a unique stretch 20D nylon shell with stitch-less baffles, DWR, premium 800 fill power, hydrophobic goose down, a cozy brushed tricot lined hood, and 2 convertible pillow pockets. These types of 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 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. Available in Outpost Blue. #stratusdownhoodie
  • Overview
    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 Dupont treated brand premium 800 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 Stratus Down Hoodie, along with the DWR finish 20D stretch nylon shell, the user has enough time to shrug off the first bit of rainfall and grab a waterproof shell to wear over.
    PDW uses a unique stitch-less baffle construction which was created by a special mill that actually weaves two layers of fabric together only at the contact lines. We do not use welded baffles which only add extra weight, bulk 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 Stratus 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 4 pockets, wire media pass through port in the chest pocket, and cinch bottom rounds out the many details.
    RDS certified means, ethically harvested down and best practices used in animal welfare.

    Zipper is not reliable

    Hello, I love the hoodie, but my zipper is not reliable. I have a hard time getting it started. I emailed customer service a couple of days ago and I still have not heard back.

    Hi Jeremy,

    Sorry to hear the YKK zipper is “not reliable”. Are you familiar with using 2-way zippers? We were surprised over the years to learn that many folks have never used a 2-way and simply aren’t used to them. A lot of us who grew up in the snow have been using 2-way zippers all of our lives so using them are 2nd nature to us. But if indeed the YKK zipper is somehow failing you let’s see if we can get you squared away. We did a thorough check in all of our email systems and have yet to see an email from you. We double checked our spam box too, and nada from you. Did you email at support@prometheusdesignwerx.com? We'd love to help you out with this.

    Temps haven't dropped down low enough to bust it out more than a few times, but extremely lightweight with a good amount of stretch to it. Very easy to compress and stow in the provided neck pillow. The only knock I have is I wish it was a bit longer in length and in the arms. As it will ride up past my waistline when lifting arms overhead and pulls up wrist a bit at full extension of arms. 6' 210 and bought the XL for reference, so may want to size up to the XXL if you don't want a tailored fit.

    This jacket is amazing

    This jacket is amazingly warm alone on a fall day, and bulletproof as a mid layer under a soft-shell.

    I have found my zenith of cold-weather active wear. I'm a customer for life.

    Thank you for the review John.

Our state-of-the-art, technical,
goose down mid-layer hoodie

Premium, Technical Materials

Our jacket uses hydrophobic, Dupont-treated brand premium 800 fill power goose down that stays drier 27 times longer than untreated goose down. This contributes to making it one of the warmest-to-weight ratio performance jackets available today.

Precise Construction

PDW uses a unique stitch-less baffle construction created by a special mill that weaves two layers of fabric together only at the contact lines. By not using welded baffles, we avoid adding extra weight, bulk, and creating cold spots. Additionally, we use a brushed poly tricot hood liner for unrivaled comfort and additional warmth, unlike any other down mid-layer. 

Compact & Convertible

The Stratus Hoodie is highly compressible, making them the ideal mid-layer to pack for wilderness travel. It stows into its 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.
