I love this hoodie. It looks and feels great, is highly functional (breathable and warm in wet), is reasonably resistant to piling which often happens to mid layers, and the built in face gaiter is genius. I also really like the aesthetic of the slightly bunched neck (caused by the gaiter scoop) when the hood is down. The hood itself is generously sized and well fitted so it wraps properly around your head – most hoods without drawstrings don’t achieve this kind of close fit and either end up with an ugly pointed bit at the top, or sit back behind your hairline and aren’t particularly useful. This (and the Glacier Pullo) became my go-to clothing items for casual use as outers/under a vest, and under a shell for more serious outdoor use, this winter. I found the sleeves and hem to be a little longer than necessary – this didn’t bother me, but I’d be interested to hear what ladies wearing larger sizes report on the sleeve/hem length. I do have a particularly short torso, so this may be partially responsible.
