This insulated Häglofs Micro Nordic Down Hood women’s jacket was very much appreciated for its almost immediate thermal boost effect. It’s a very good product for most outdoor activities and especially for skiing. It’s not a big bulky puffer but lighter and more compactible.
This Häglofs Micro Nordic Down Hood is made from water-repellent down with 700 Cuin fill power. This is very interesting information as the down is less sensitive to humidity. The jacket dries quickly. We didn’t notice any odours from the down.
The Häglofs Micro Nordic Down Hood different sized storage pockets are positioned according to precision mapping on areas of the body. You’ll find some Mimic Gold 100% recycled polyamide under the arms, according to Häglofs, less volume and more breathability. We didn’t notice any smells developing in this area, but it needs checking after more use.
The Häglofs Micro Nordic Down Hood has a very warm hood, with no adjustment cord. Overall, it does stay in position and doesn’t catch the wind. It has a semi-stiff visor that you can fold back inside if you feel it’s too long. The hood folds down, you can feel the visor at the neck, but you can fold it inside the hood.
The wrists have soft elastic cuffs. The hand pockets are big and practical. Zipped inside breast pocket. All the zips have thin cords with plastic ends. The central zip doesn’t come and annoy your chin. There’s a thick lining under the central zip to avoid direct contact. No waist adjustment, or little storage bag.
We tried compacting the Häglofs Micro Nordic Down Hood io one of its pockets, it doesn’t fit.
With a weight of 315g in size M, it’s in the standard for this type of product. You could lighten it, for example do something about the thick lining behind the zip.
The warm Häglofs Micro Nordic Down Hood jacket fulfils its mission by combining thermal efficiency and comfort. Its down is not sensitive to humidity making it a very pertinent choice for skiing and other outdoor activities.
