What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"This piece feels like a down jacket and a midlayer in one. The stretch panels make a huge difference on the move and the way it packs into its own pocket makes it an easy layer to bring anywhere."Cold mornings on the trail and long days outdoors feel easier to handle in the Belleview Stretch Down Hoodie. The North Face builds this layer around recycled down insulation that warms quickly while remaining light on the body. Two way stretch in the shell fabric keeps us moving naturally during steep approaches or easy daily walks. Heatseeker Eco panels add breathable warmth in high motion zones and help the jacket hold its shape as we push through changing terrain. When the weather turns, the non PFC DWR finish sheds light moisture and the elastic bound hood steps in for added coverage. The slim fit layers smoothly under a shell yet still feels comfortable on its own in cool conditions. At the end of the day, the jacket stows neatly into its own hand pocket and disappears into a pack. It is a simple reliable layer that keeps comfort high from early starts to evening returns.
