Hike, boulder, and lounge in the Eclipse Waffle Hoodie
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I wore this on a cool morning bouldering session and it moved with me on every reach, no bunching or restriction. It's soft enough that I kept it on for coffee afterward and forgot I was still wearing my climbing layer."
Some days don't have a plan, just a trailhead, a coffee shop, and whatever comes between. The Eclipse Waffle Hoodie from Backcountry is built for exactly that kind of day. Throw it on for a casual hike or a bouldering session, and the waffle knit fabric stretches with every reach and stride, keeping you comfortable whether you're pulling on holds or just walking the dog.
The textured knit blend of polyester, lyocell, and elastane gives it a soft natural feel against the skin while staying breathable enough to layer under a shell or wear on its own. It's the kind of piece that looks as good mapping out your next adventure as it does living it.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size should I pick for the Outdoor Research Eclipse Waffle Hoodie - Men's for active use?
The Eclipse Waffle Hoodie is a regular-fit, men’s-specific cut; pick your usual men’s T‑shirt/hoodie size for an everyday fit with room for a light base layer. If you want a trim, performance-oriented fit for climbing or running, consider sizing down; if you prefer roomy layering for camp or colder days, stick to your normal size or size up.How does the Eclipse Waffle Hoodie layer with shells, base layers, and packs?
The waffle knit is midweight with four-way stretch and relatively low bulk, so it layers well over light or midweight base layers and under a rain or wind shell when you need weather protection. Forward shoulder seams and the chafe-free design make it comfortable under daypacks and climbing harnesses. Note that the fabric itself is not waterproof, so pair it with a shell in sustained wet conditions.For what activities and conditions is the Outdoor Research Eclipse Waffle Hoodie best suited?
This midweight hoodie is tuned for cool‑weather hiking, climbing, and running-training—ideal as a breathable, insulating midlayer for fall/spring and cool summer mornings or evenings. Use it as a standalone piece in dry, cool conditions or as a midlayer under a shell for colder or mixed-weather days.How does the Eclipse Waffle Hoodie compare to other midlayers?
Compared with thick fleeces or insulated puff jackets, the Outdoor Research Eclipse Waffle Hoodie emphasizes stretch, next‑to-skin comfort (lyocell content), and moisture wicking rather than high loft or weatherproofing, making it better for active movement and layering. Its waffle texture traps warmth without excess bulk, while the 3‑panel hood and forward seams prioritize comfort under packs and during reach-intensive sports.What are the recommended care steps to keep the Eclipse Waffle Hoodie performing?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle with mild detergent and avoid fabric softeners to preserve wicking and stretch; tumble dry low or line dry to protect the elastane. Store the hoodie clean and dry, and avoid prolonged compression in a pack to maintain fabric recovery and texture.
