Is the Down Sweater Hoody worth $345?

If you want a light, packable down hoody from a brand with strong repair support and traceable down, yes. At $345.00 at Backcountry.com as of November 3, 2026 it is full price, so compare against synthetic hoodies if budget is tight.

How does it compare with the non-hooded Down Sweater?

Same 800-fill down and shell, plus an insulated single-pull hood and a bit more weight. The hoody is the better pick for wind and cold mornings; the jacket version layers more cleanly under a helmet or shell hood.

How warm is it, and what temperature range suits it?

It works as a midlayer in freezing conditions and as an outer layer in cool, dry weather roughly in the 30s to 50s Fahrenheit. Below that, pair it with a shell and a baselayer.

No. The PFC-free DWR finish resists light snow and drizzle, but the seams are not sealed and the fabric is not waterproof. Carry a shell in steady rain.

What sizes and fit does it come in?

It has a regular fit, so it layers over a fleece without feeling bulky. Patagonia lists women's sizes from XS up, and the hem cord lock lets you cinch the fit.

Down jackets usually drop during late-season sales and past-season color clearances. Since October 28, 2026 the lowest daily price has stayed at $345.00, so no discount has appeared yet.
