Cold Weather Work Hoodie

5 Colby
This might be one of the best fleece hoodies I have ever warn. It is extremely comfortable and warm, but not to hot. It's a great layer for lounging around in or supporting you on and adventure. It works well on it's own or as a layering piece under a shell or jacket. It look nice enough to for casual things around town too.

Basically a cargo fleece without looking like it, great layering and external piece. I am 5' 6 '' 155lbs and with most items am right between a Small and Medium. With this item, I tried them both on, and they both fit. I went with the small as I 'm planning on using this as a mid layer sometimes and for this item I wanted a slimmer fit, but if I was always going to wear it only as an outer layer, the medium's boxier/baggier fit would have worked fine. The hood's shape definitely makes it feel like there's a decent amount of material near/around my neck when I 'm not wearing it up. Maybe that would 've been a little less restrictive in the Medium, but the mesh lined hood and the added chin coverage were great when the wind and rain and hail picked up the other day. There are a couple great features that are n't listed in the description that are worth calling out. For starters, in the kangaroo pocket there is an internal mesh pocket almost the full width of the kangaroo pouch with its own top- access zipper, very nice as hoody pockets are typically useless for keeping items in. There is also an added keyring or bungee cord sorta thing inside the pocket, but I 've been getting a kick out of keeping my keys on display on the external D ring- What a fashion statement. I like that this can be worn as a comfy hoody but has as much secure storage as many jackets with much more obvious/bulky looking pockets. This 'll be a staple in my snowboard kit this winter and be great from going straight from the car into my storm shell.

Things that could make it better: Thumb Loops/thin stretchy material at the end of the sleeves, like they have with the first tracks down jacket. Maybe a loop or hole near the neck gaiter area to store sunglasses when not on your face( one of the drawbacks of all pieces with the neck gaiter style). The front chest pocket ripstop is kinda loud(?) when brushed against. Not a huge deal just an inference. Things I love: the warmth, it's surprisingly warm. Pair it with a waterproof shell and you should be good in most places. The fit( subjective), I am usually in between sizes and sized up- it fits exactly how I expect/want, I 'd say true to size. I actually like the small hood, also subjective, but this will stay on my head without a helmet for just wearing casually which is what I wear it for. Probably too small for wearing with a helmet if riding. And a couple really cool features that I never knew I needed: The adjustable cinch at the bottom of the piece allows you to taper/close the bottom towards the hips. One issue I have with 99% of every fleece I 've had is the fabric kinda `` floats out '' towards this hip area when wearing, and makes you look larger than you actually are. This is a great solution for that, so it makes fits quite a bit better with this cinch feature. Another is the pocket- ception, the secret stash pocket within the kangaroo pocket is a sneaky place to store small items. Who does n't love a good stash pocket? Love the print, something other than just one color. I 've been wearing it the last few days and want to wear it all the time, it's extremely comfortable. I imagine I will be grabbing this piece more often than most others in my closet this winter. Very happy with this purchase.

Really like this thing!! Great mid layer for snowboarding. Or just a nice hoody to wear around. I 'm 5'11, 160 and I went with a large- I like the more baggy fit and have longer arms so it fit how I wanted! Medium also fit me but was just a little bit smaller/ not the level of baggy I wanted.
