Best technical hoody

By Aaron Clark Ranked #2082 - Men's Fleece Jackets December 4, 2009

This is NOT a great townie hoody unless you like wearing purely technical gear for non-technical reasons. It is however the VERY BEST technical hoodie I have ever found other then the Lowe Alpine Ninja Hoodie of old that I suspect this was taken from. The fit is, shall I say, Fitted! the Hood is ninja like and the reason that people tend to break into a ninja pose when they zip this sucker up. the offset zipper at the top makes for a strange lay of the flaps when not fully zipped but like I said its a purely technical piece. Its function is superb. Its warmer then any other hoody I have tried. Cloudveil, and older styled OR.OR now makes one that looks very similar to the R1. I suspect that the local CO OR rep listened to my complaint when I said OR needed one too. I have a medium and I am 6,1. The fit is great but the sleaves could be an inch longer for me when using the thumb holes. I don't think I would like the balk of a Large. The bottom thin fabric is perfect for tucking into pants to stp drafts. A must have
