The Kobuk Hoodie is a box-baffled down insulated jacket for 3 season use. We build these one at a time, giving you the ability to fully customize and tailor fit the jacket based on the configuration options at the bottom of this page.
Construction
The 3D design creates a one inch deep continuous space between the outer shell and the liner, without cold bridges or other breaks in the insulation. Our high quality 900 fill power goose down occupies this space, controlled by evenly spaced inner walls of mesh.
Static comfort temperature is 10°F with adequate layering and protection from wind chill.
Features
A two-way separating #5 YKK front zipper is backed by a down filled draft tube with an anti-snag sailcloth zipper guard for smooth operation. The two-way operation is handy when the parka is worn while wearing a climbing harness.
Crucial head coverage with an integrated hood that can be zipped up to the nose and cinched down to the brows. Choose between form fitting or helmet compatible.
The insulated zippered exterior pockets are positioned for effective hand warming while simultaneously providing ample room for storage.
Interior zippered pockets can be selected at chest and belly level. The chest pockets will fit snacks and electronics, while the belly pockets can hold water bottles in an environment that could prevent them from freezing. To take full advantage of this feature it is best combined with the roomier fit of the Expedition Level upgrade, mentioned later.
Sizing
The standard Kobuk is sized to accommodate the effective modern base layering systems, used during summer and shoulder season conditions in the mountains.
Shell Fabrics
We build the Kobuk with high quality durable yet lightweight fabrics prioritizing an all round performance with fast drying highly breathable qualities.

Kobuk Down Hoodie Review
I recently purchased a Kobuk Down Hoodie with Epic 40D outer shell and a #8 zipper. The shell is soft, reasonably water resistant, and surprisingly light. I don't know how much longer the Epic material will be available but it seems to be a superior product. I bought the #8 zipper for extra ease of use and durability. My previous winter coats have been limited by zipper malfunctions. The coat is meticulously constructed and extremely light. The buying experience was truly remarkable. Jan was incredibly patient and thorough in helping me modify the dimensions of the jacket and in advising regarding options. I could not recommend the buying experience more highly. The coat is the best outerwear garment I have ever owned- extremely warm, comfortable, and well-constructed. Kudos to Nanatuck!

Rockin' the Kobuk
Wow. Just wow. First real test of the Kobuk I ordered last spring: -12F with wind chills down to -30F on the sub-arctic high plains of Dolly Sods WV. Used the Kobuk in camp and to extend the range of a 0F sleeping bag. Could not be more impressed! Absolutely toasty throughout, and with the Kobuk pants I wandered around on a night hike without ever feeling the need to dive into the tent and sleeping bag. Sleeping bag/Kobuk combo would take my 0F bag far lower than the -12F conditions that night. I'd trust it to -20F. The warmth/weight ratio is unbelievable. Thanks for the smooth ordering process, and such an awesome piece of kit!

Jan, The quilt and jacket arrived safely at my door step. Never have I received so large a box weighing so little, and with such wonderful things inside. They are absolutely perfect. Thank you so much for your excellent work. I really appreciate it. -Niles
