Guides Down Hooded Jacket - Men's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I reach for this jacket because the insulation feels different—in a good way. The recycled down lofts fast and traps heat, while the Ceiba flower fibers add a surprising amount of structure and breathability. It’s warm like a traditional puffer but handles moisture and movement better, making it super versatile in real winter conditions."

We trust the Guides Down Hooded Jacket when winter bites hard and we want warmth that works everywhere—on frosty trailheads, in the lift line, or walking through town after a snowstorm. What sets this layer apart is its unique insulation blend: 700-fill comprised of recycled down and Ceiba flower down. The natural Ceiba fibers help the insulation breathe and maintain loft, while the recycled down brings lofty, familiar warmth with a cleaner environmental footprint. The result is a puffer that feels warm, lightweight, and surprisingly adaptive when the day shifts between high-output movement and still, cold air.

The recycled ripstop shell adds durability for backcountry travel or daily abrasion, while the adjustable hood, hem, and low-profile cuffs seal out winter gusts. Zippered handwarmer pockets and a secure chest pocket keep essentials close, and the whole piece layers easily under a shell or stands on its own on crisp, clear days. It’s a modern twist on a classic cold-weather puffy—blending comfort, packability, and innovative, nature-inspired insulation.
