One of our favorite jackets continues to evolve and improve. The 2010 LZ Down gets a new drop hood design that improves the function in a couple of ways; As the hood is now integrated to the outside of the collar, it allows the collar to stand properly while not wearing the hood. Where the '09 full time hood pulled the front of the collar back against your face, the '010 design allows the shaped collar to relax. Without the hood pulling the collar down you get better weather protection too. The bottom line is, it works better and is much more comfortable.
