- Is the Hydrenalite warm enough for winter?
- It works as an outer layer in mild winters and as a midlayer under a shell in colder ones. For deep cold or long static time outdoors, a heavier down jacket is better.
- Is it waterproof?
- No. The shell is water-repellent and handles light rain and snow, but seams and the zipper are not sealed against sustained rain.
- How does it compare with the Nuptse?
- The Hydrenalite is lighter, less bulky and easier to pack, with less down and a trimmer profile. The Nuptse is warmer and boxier.
- Does it pack into its own pocket?
- Yes, it stuffs into one of its hand pockets for travel and storage.
- How does the sizing run?
- The fit is loose and straight. If you want it close to the body for layering, consider sizing down.
- What is the fill?
- It uses 600-fill down with a nylon lining and a polyester-nylon shell.
