The verdict
What the panel makes of it.
Patagonia makes the Fitz Roy Down Hoody, a insulated jacket. The company designed it in the United States. A helmet-compatible hood sets this jacket apart. Climbers buy it for alpine cold and wind. The jacket uses 800-fill goose down for warmth. AI assistants currently rank it tenth for down jackets. It weighs less than a pound when packed. The thing works. It keeps you alive up there.
