Whether it's autumn crag ratting, winter ridge rambling or post-mountain bar hopping, there's a good chance you might be exposed to the cold at some point along the way. Fortunately, Black Diamond are no stranger to the unpredictability of the outdoors and have worked hard to engineer a solution. New for 2019, the Access Down Hoody in Aqua Verde has been completely redesigned following its synthetic predecessor. It's as warm as a woolly mammoth* without the weight, thanks to its Allied HyperDry™ 700-fill goose down with a certified Responsible Down Standard (RDS), whilst protected by its 30D nylon ripstop outer shell making it easy to pack. The Access Down Hoody will work well as a stand-alone, but we do recommend wearing something below. So, if you're stuck for ideas, why not pair it with the Mountain Equipment Chamois Pant or Arc'teryx Gamma LT Pant. *Disclaimer, neither Black Diamond or The Epicentre can disclose or guarantee the thermal output of a woolly mammoth, yet we're both confident that this jacket will come close.
