Mountain Hardwear Ghost Whisperer Hooded Down Jacket - Women's Lapis Dusk, XS

"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I bring this on every mountain day, no matter the season. It’s warm for the weight, packs into nothing, and layers under a shell without feeling bulky. It’s one of those pieces you forget you packed—until you’re really glad you did.""We rely on the Ghost Whisperer Hooded Down Jacket when our time in the mountains demands warmth without weight. Early starts feel easier with an insulating layer that disappears into a pack, and as temps drop near the summit or at camp, the 800-fill down expands quickly, delivering the familiar loft we count on during shoulder-season climbs, crisp hikes, and long belays. The recycled ripstop shell balances featherlight construction with the durability needed for daily use, while the DWR finish protects the down from passing flurries and misty ridge traverses. A slim profile makes layering straightforward—baselayers beneath, shells above—keeping our system adaptable as weather shifts. With an elastic hood, a cinchable hem, and pockets that stay accessible even when we’re wearing a pack, this jacket remains a dependable part of our kit from trailhead departures to late-night returns."
