Casual Outer or Technical Mid

By Andrew Brandt Ranked #20 - Men's Shirts December 15, 2008

I'll admit I got it off SAC, not sure I'd pay full price on this item. That being said I LOVE this hoody. I've worn it a few times in mid 30's and felt fine. I just wore it as a mid layer for an alleycat where temps were in the single digits and I was toasty! The hood is a more technical fit so it fit in my shell hood perfectly. It also fit under my bike helmet. The thumb holes kept the sleeves down while I was riding and at the after bar I got comments on it's style as well. I'm 6'1" 190 and the Large fit perfectly. The mesh pockets don't bother me because if it's cold enough that you're concerned about your hands either wear gloves or put on more layers (over or under this trim-fitted piece.)
11-09 Update: I'm loving this piece so much I bought a second one (also off SAC) in blue! My Graphite (really it's black) hoodie of just under a year old has been used a TON and even though I've gone down hard twice off my bike in this thing it's only wear is a little pilling from the one time I threw it in the dryer.
