You'll have to fight me for it.

Wore the "ninja hoodie" while skiing at Alta in Utah. The thing didn't even smell after I wore it for three straight days of skiing. First two days, it snowed non-stop and the zip up hood was perfect for protecting my neck and cheeks and fit perfectly under my ski helmet. The third day was sunny with temps between 25 and 36 degrees all day, and this shirt (along with a t-shirt as a base layer) was all I needed.
It's also a great layer for cycling in chilly weather. I've thrown this thing on over a sweaty jersey after reaching the summit of a few mountains in Colorado in July (when it's windy and at most 40 degrees) and it's stopped me from shivering. The hood fits wonderfully under my bike helmet and protects my ears on the descent down from the summit.
It's warm, comfortable and breathes really well. Have barely taken it off since I got it.
