Men's Broad Peak IN Hooded Jacket 26/27

The Broad Peak IN Hooded Jacket is Mammut's go-to down jacket for mountain adventures, and one of the pieces Mammut calls an essential. It uses 800 fill power hydrophobic down (115 g) inside a recycled Pertex Quantum shell that is soft, light, and wind and water repellent. It weighs 383 g and packs down small.

The trade-off is that it is a straightforward down jacket rather than a hybrid or a technical belay parka. There are no stretch panels or synthetic zones, just dependable warmth in a light, compact package that covers most cold days in the mountains.

It is for anyone who wants one reliable puffy for ski days, hut trips, climbing and cold mornings around town. The hydrophobic down keeps insulating even in wet conditions.

Regular fit with an elasticated hood, elasticated cuffs and a one-hand adjustable hem drawcord. It has a zippered chest pocket plus two backpack and harness compatible zip pockets, and it stows in its own side pocket.

We think the Broad Peak is one of the best all-around down jackets you can own, the kind of layer that comes along on every trip for years.
