- Is the Hydrenalite warm enough for winter?
- It works for mild winter days and as a midlayer in real cold. Alone in freezing wind or snow, it is not enough; pair it with a shell.
- How does it compare with The North Face Nuptse?
- The Nuptse is heavier and much warmer, with a boxier cut. The Hydrenalite is lighter, trims closer and packs smaller, so it suits layering and travel better.
- Does it run small?
- It has a slim, athletic cut. Shoppers who want room for a sweater underneath often go up one size.
- Can it get wet?
- The shell is not waterproof, and down loses loft when soaked. Wear it under a rain shell in wet weather.
- Does it pack into its own pocket?
- Yes, it stuffs into one of its hand pockets, which makes it easy to carry in a pack.
- What is it filled with?
- It uses a down-and-feather fill in a baffled construction, which is what gives it its warmth-to-weight ratio.
