Backcountry.com Siphon Street Full-Zip Hooded Sweatshirt - Men’s

Great Mid layer

By Backcountry.com Employee February 25, 2009

I love the technical fit, especially in the hood (can't stand hoodies that don't cover my whole head). It feels good, I'd have to agree that it feels like cotton, but the 10% wool mix gives me a little extra confidence that this thing could retain some warmth even when wet. As it is the Siphon Street Sweatshirt is warm and does a decent job blocking the wind, I've been wearing it as a mid layer under various jackets in the heart of winter in the Wasatch, very nice. Being partially wool, there has been some pilling after a couple months, but it hasn't reduced the functionality. The thumb holes seem little too small for my thumbs, which I didn't expect, they still help keep my hands warm though.
