Patagonia Down Sweater Review (Warmth & Packability in One)

I actually bought my Patagonia Down Sweater Hoody earlier this year for a long trip we are doing around Europe. I did not know when it would get cold, but we hike in the mountains a lot and were heading as far north as the North Cape in Norway.

Since I bought it in February it is always with me. It is pulled out when it gets cold and otherwise sits well packed and small, ready to go in my hiking pack.
