Hoodie version 1.2 changelog:
-slightly shortened sleeves by 1/2 inch
-slightly widened forearm area to allow you to roll up the sleeves
-slightly decreased wrist elastic tightness
-increased hood opening to allow you to put the hood up/down more easily
Note: The 90 gsm weight Hoodies are slightly see-thru. Not enough to be an issue in public but you can decide that for yourself from the pics
With far better breathability than a micro grid fleece, our Alpha Direct Hoodie keeps you toasty warm at camp, but allows for greater air flow while climbing peaks, preventing you from overheating. At 4.5 oz for a size Medium, it's a lighter and more packable option than typical fleece pullovers.
Great as a standalone layer for shoulder season use, the Ultralight Alpha Direct 90 Hoodie can be paired with a puffy when the temp drops.
Our hoodie features a form-fitting balaclava style hood, perfect for chilly mornings and sleep systems without a mummy hood. Ditch the beanie! The hood acts as a great gaiter when worn down around the neck. All seams are flat-locked for added durability and to prevent seam-rubbing or chafing. Minimalist elastic cuffs and hood opening help keep the weight of the garment low.
To help offset the effects of
Microplastic Pollution, wash your Alpha Direct Hoodie and other fleece gear in a Microplastic Wash Bag. We offer one
here but Guppyfriend or Costco bags work just as well.
Unisex Sizing:
Wear a base layer and measure under your arms, around the fullest part of your chest. Choose your hoodie size based on chest girth and preference.
Hoodies run slightly large in the upper arm.
If you intend on wearing a layer underneath, choose the size that best matches your chest girth.
If you intend on wearing this next to skin, as a base layer, size down.
For example; I am 6'0" and weigh 170 lbs. I have a 40" chest. I would choose a size Medium hoodie if I wanted to wear a hiking shirt underneath, or a size Small if I was wearing it next to my skin and wanted a tighter fit.
