"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I brought the Arctic Crest on a snowshoe trip in the Tetons and it kept me perfectly warm without overheating. It packs down small, holds heat well, and the Omni-HEAT lining really does make a difference in how quickly you warm up after stopping.""Built to chase peaks and handle plunging temperatures, the Arctic Crest Down Hooded Jacket is our go-to for insulated performance in alpine environments. With 700-fill power RDS-certified goose down and Columbia’s Omni-HEAT™ Arctic thermal-reflective lining, this jacket traps body heat efficiently without adding bulk. Omni-SHIELD™ repellency adds a protective barrier against light snow and moisture, while the down-insulated hood and cuff binding help seal in warmth. It’s designed for real mountain functionality—lightweight and packable for backcountry travel, yet warm enough for long summit rests or brisk transitions. The adjustable hem dials in a secure fit, and zippered pockets keep gear close at hand. Whether you're belaying below an ice route or taking in a frosty ridgeline view, this jacket offers a smart blend of warmth, mobility, and tech-driven design."
