Did You Know?
Zpacks Down Hood
Couldn’t be happier with this down hood. Perfect for quilt users, doesn’t slide around or off your head at night like a beanie can on straight, slick hair. Much better than the hood on a sleeping bag, which can slide into your face when you turn, and of course can’t be detached for use as a separate warm hood. The ultra light weight is remarkable. It’s very warm and has a cozy fit and feel.
– Rachel M., ★★★★★
Get ready for sweet dreams on cold nights when bundled up with the Zpacks Down Hood. A perfect companion to your ultralight down quilt, stay cozy and snug tucked away from the cold.
A down hood can move with your head as you turn side to side in your quilt, unlike an integrated mummy bag hood. You can also wear it around camp, or tuck it inside your camp pillow when you don't need it.
Zpacks Down Hoods are reversible, face whichever color you prefer outward.
Zpacks Down Booties
I’m a cold sleeper and was looking for options to help keep my feet warm through out the night. In the past I’ve used wool socks which helped but didn’t quite keep the chill out. The first night I used the goose socks it was like heaven! They are so lightweight and add noticeable warmth! These will extend my hiking season well into the late fall, worth every penny!
– Kimberly N., ★★★★★
After a long day on the trail, there’s nothing better than slipping into a warm sleeping bag. Now get ready to share that feeling with your feet! Meet the ultimate camp companion—the ultra-warm Zpacks Down Booties, designed to keep the cold at bay.
Whether you're winding down by the fire or settling in for the night, these down socks are your go-to for cozy, toasty toes. But remember, these aren’t for hiking—treat them like your sleeping bag, and your feet will thank you.
