Why We Like The Black Diamond Access Down Jacket
Keeping us warm on active days, the Access Down Jacket is Black Diamond's most versatile down insulator for cold crags, ski tours, and chilly days around town. Its 700-fill down insulation is incredibly lofty and surprisingly warm for how little it weighs. The insulation packs down small to fit in packed duffels or ski packs with ease, and HyperDry's hydrophobic treatment helps the down retain its lofty warmth in moisture-riddled environments like a damp tent. Black Diamond treated the jacket's ripstop shell with DWR for durable water-resistance that beads raindrops, snowflakes, and light moisture right off the surface.

Great jacket!
Well-designed, lofty down, lots of good details, and just the right combo of sturdily made but not too heavy.

Great fit and good quality.
Great fit and good quality. Seems warm and doesn’t have air cut through like some other puffies I’ve owned. Have been happy with all my previous purchases of BD jackets.

outstanding product
It is light in weight and warm for NYC spring and fall season. The fit is just right and the color of the jacket matched the advertisement.

Nice entry insulation layer
Nice entry into insulation layer. Found the outter material to be a little stiff for my taste and sizes run big, so I upgraded for the Approach Down BD layer.

Average materials and craftsmanship for price
For a 700 fill goose down the baffling dimensions make the shoulder loft unable to adequately keep in heat at even 45 degrees F. The zipper is loud and not smooth feeing compared to similar products. The fit is comparatively large in the waist for a Medium making the annoying and breakable bungee drawstring necessary to keep heat in. You could leave the upper waist dimension the same but taper it in at the bottom… Initial fabric water repellency is adequate. This is all compared to same caliber brands like Patagonia and Marmot. This puffy is fine for the price, just not good.

I wanted to like this jacket but it did not do it for me. The sleeves are too long and there is hardly any elastic on the cuff. So it just droops over my hands. They need to put a real Velcro closure on the cuffs. I also found the jacket too light and not warm enough for my needs in cold weather here in Northeast. This is more a mid layer. I have an excellent Black Diamond Shell but this jacket disappoints.

Excellent fit and comfortable warmth!
This is one of the best men's down hoodies on the market. The fill is thicker than most, but the cut of the fit doesn't make you look like the Michelin Man.

Perfect for a Peruvian Pilgrimage!
I needed a warm mid-layer coat for our trip to Peru - the Access Down Hoody was it. I was looking for the warmth of a sleeping bag but needed it to be packable and fit under my waterproof Shell jacket. This jacket did it all. It was super warm when I needed it, especially at night while sleeping in a mountain hut. It has an amazing front top pocket that is easily accessible with another layer on top. I love that the hood keeps my neck and head warm, and keeps the wind away. This is one great down puffer, great work Black Diamond.
