Is the Summit warm enough for winter?

It works as an outer layer in mild to moderate cold and as a midlayer under a shell in hard winter. The 800 fill down is warm for its weight, but the jacket is thin and not a deep-cold parka.

Does the hood fit over a helmet?

Yes. The hood is adjustable, packable and designed to fit over a climbing helmet.

How small does it pack?

It weighs about 1 lb 1 oz and the down lofts back quickly, so it compresses into a small space in a pack. It does not ship with a stuff sack.

What is the fit like?

It has a trim, modern cut with a 25.75-inch center back length. Size up if you plan to wear a bulky fleece underneath.

No. The fluorine-free DWR sheds light snow and drizzle, but the seams are not sealed and the down loses loft if it gets soaked.
