"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I’ve used the Guides Down Hoodie for everything from cold belays to winter commutes, and it nails the balance of warmth and packability. The down blend lofts quickly and holds heat, while the ripstop shell sheds light moisture. It’s become my go-to layer when I need dependable insulation that won’t weigh me down.""Cold mornings, windy ridgelines, or nights around camp—the Guides Down Hooded Jacket is built to keep us warm in all of it. Marmot packed this jacket with a 700-fill blend of recycled down and Celba Flower down alternative, offering reliable loft, warmth, and compressibility in a more sustainable design. A durable water-repellent finish adds extra defense against light snow and moisture. The 100% recycled ripstop shell keeps weight low while holding up to daily wear. Two zippered hand pockets, a chest pocket, and an adjustable hood add to the jacket’s all-around utility, while internal elastic cuffs and a drawcord hem lock in warmth. Lightweight enough to stash in a pack yet warm enough for freezing temps, the Guides Down Hoodie is an essential midlayer for alpine missions and a cozy outer layer for everyday cold-weather wear."
