Its innovative design, featuring a half-length zipper and a fitted hood, allows you to easily adjust for temperature changes, while the kangaroo pocket offers practical convenience. The hoody's performance is enhanced by its superior warmth-to-weight ratio, providing comfort without the bulk.

The hoody’s Octa^® Fleece material is engineered for active insulation, performing effectively in a wide temperature range from 0°C to 20°C. Its soft, brushed interior traps air to maintain warmth, while the mesh exterior ensures breathability and prevents overheating during strenuous activities. The fabric is not only light but also highly abrasion-resistant, making it more durable than traditional fleece. Additionally, it resists collecting dirt and debris, which is common with fuzzier fleece materials. This makes it a versatile and practical choice for outdoor enthusiasts who need gear that can withstand tough conditions.

Designed with thoughtful details, the Ultralight Octa^® Fleece Hoody ensures comfort and functionality. Features like thumb holes, a fitted hood, and a tailored rear hem provide extra warmth, sun protection, and coverage, especially when you’re on the move. The stretchy material offers excellent mobility, while elastic at the hem and wrists helps retain heat. Whether you’re hiking, camping, or just exploring, this hoody adapts to your needs, offering premium protection and comfort. With a UPF 40+ rating it combines practicality and reliability for any adventure.
