"Very versatile -- fast becoming my favorite 1st layer" - Review of Patagonia Capilene 4 Hoody - Women's
I've been wearing this hoody as a first layer for winter hiking, snowshoeing, and XC skiing, and love it. It is warm but very breathable and I can easily add layers on top of it.
I like the hood, which I've sometimes worn under my hat when starting off on a cold morning. Later, as I warm up, it makes a comfortable light layer -- sort of like wearing a light-weight balaclava, but easier to pull off or back on. It hangs out of the way easily when I don't need to wear it.
I think this will also be a great top to wear by itself when the weather warms up a bit, but hasn't become hot yet.
