Convergent Hooded Down Jacket - Men's

By bringing together hard and softshell technologies, Black Diamond was able to make the Convergent Men's Hooded Down Jacket a one-of-a-kind insulation piece for any cold-weather adventure you can think of. Loaded up with PrimaLoft Gold, which is a blend of synthetic and down insulation, the Convergent offers the warmth of a higher-bulk jacket without the weight, and features fully taped seams and a two-layer Windstopper membrane to resist water and chilly breezes. It's also lined with Pertex Quantum 20D nylon, which has been outfitted with a DWR coating to give the Convergent's weather resistance an extra boost.

The Convergent's a simple jacket, focused more on efficient warmth than tons of bells and whistles, but it still has seriously useful features like an insulated, adjustable, and helmet-compatible hood, a brushed microsuede collar lining, and stretch-panel cuffs to keep the cold wind from rubbing your chin the wrong way. With six pockets, it can easily handle all the small gear you need over the course of a ski or alpine-climbing trip, so you'll be as organized as you are warm and comfortable.
