Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

The Spitz Down Hooded Jacket is a solid investment for those who demand a robust yet lightweight jacket that performs well in challenging conditions.

Haglofs says: 

A stretchable down hoody for steadfast warmth in wet mountain conditions. We designed it with the demands of mountaineering and climbing in mind. It’s made out of a tough and water-resistant, twoway stretch outer fabric and is filled with 800 CUIN fill power H-DOWN Platinum, a hydrophobic goose down that stays dry for up to 10,000 minutes with exposure to wet conditions. The high-tech bae construction eectively prevents cold spots thanks to its wide, prewoven, and seamless design. It comes equipped with an insulated helmet-compatible hood for maximum protection.

Our Verdict

The Haglöfs Spitz Down Hooded Jacket is a reliable choice for mountaineers and climbers needing warmth, weather protection, and flexibility. Its thoughtful construction and premium materials make it an excellent companion for tackling cold, damp conditions in the mountains.

Weighing 558g in a medium, the jacket balances substantial warmth with practical packability. The 800-fill hydrophobic goose down, treated with Nikwax, excels at retaining loft and warmth, while the water-resistant stretch outer fabric offers impressive durability and freedom of movement. The insulated, helmet-compatible hood is snug yet spacious, providing excellent protection without compromising mobility or vision.

Design features like the two-way zip for harness compatibility and reinforced zip tags for gloved hands demonstrate attention to detail, making it functional for technical activities. The jacket layers comfortably over base layers and under hard shells, making it versatile for both active use and stationary moments, such as belaying.
