A very functional layer that can be worn solo or with a merino / tech tee underneath. Warm for when the winds come up but the deep zipper line allows for breathability when you need it. An essential addition to they layering quiver.
As someone who likes. to "be bold and start cold" this has been the perfect addition to my backcountry kit. I prefer to use this hoodie as a light mid-layer but could see it working as a base layer as well. Warm enough for any trailhead/transition and breathable enough that I don't work up a sweat once I flick my risers up! I'm 5'9 160 lbs and the Large fits perfect for the fit I like (slightly looser). If you're around my size and like something more form-fitting, I imagine the medium would also be a great option!
I'm more than pleased with the Basecamp hoodie and will make sure that it's on my packing list for any upcoming trip.
I'll be making sure this is on my packing list every time, regardless of the occasion. This is the perfect technical layer that I've been looking for, it's lightweight, warm, and super comfortable!
