Why We Like The Melody Hoodie

Trail running, hiking, or climbing the skin track—no matter how we fit cardio into the colder months, the Melody Hoodie keeps us in our routine. This light and stretchy jacket is made with synthetic materials that naturally manage moisture with added ActiveTemp technology that keeps our body temperature even. When the sun is shining, UPF 30 sun protection blocks UV rays from the sky or the snow, and in colder conditions, fold-over cuffs cover our fingers to keep them safe and warm.

Comfy and simple

Lightweight, comfy hoody great for casual wear or activities when you want just a touch of extra warmth, not too much. Great features are zip pockets that keep items secure while not being uncomfortable to slip your hands into, and cuffs that can be flipped over your hand as a sort of mitten.

Wish there was an XXS

Great hoody. Just a little baggy on a 5'2" 100lb person.

Great top - too long for me

I have an older Melody top that I love, but this full-zip version was a few inches longer hitting me mid to low hip. I gave this a high rating b/c the quality is great, the fit was just too long for me.

slim and long, not quite right

This is a gorgeous hoodie but not quite what I was looking for. It's super soft (the outside almost feels like a cross between a sweatshirt and a softshell), and the blackberry color is feminine in a subtle way, but I was looking for something that could be versatile as a mid or outer layer, and I think the close fit on this puts it firmly in the mid category--I wouldn't be able to wear it over much besides a thin, close-fitting base layer. (I'm 5'4", 150#, ordered my usual M). It's also long. I like some butt coverage sometimes, but because of how slim it is it looks awkwardly tight over my butt, and that was just in leggings; if I wanted to wear it over jeans or work pants I think it wouldn't work at all. I thought about sizing up but the way it's cut I think a L would probably just look baggy, and the sleeves would be way too long. If you're taller and slimmer, or looking for a great mid layer or something to throw on over a tank top, go for it. I was hoping for something that could work almost as a light jacket and this isn't it. (Also, I wish it had thumbholes!)

My favorite hoodie

Excellent hoodie. Bought the wrong size for me though. I lost some weight and didn't realize how much I'd shrunk. I ended up giving this L to my daughter and bought a M for myself which is slightly loose on me, but still an excellent fit. I tend to like things to fit a little more loosely than on the snug side. Soft fabric that doesn't pill. Mesh pockets allow the sand to fall out. No drawstring to get tangled up and pulled out on the laundry. Love the fold over cuffs on the sleeve vs the thumb hole from previous years.

Best hoodie ever!

I think this is OR's best version of the Melody hoodie yet. I like the fold over cuffs better than the thumb holes from past years. Glad to be rid of the pesky drawstring that came out in every single wash and had to be restrung through the hood every time. I wasn't sure if I'd like the inner mesh pocket. But I have come to really appreciate it. Any sand that gets into the pocket falls through the mesh and I don't have to try to turn the pocket inside out to dig the sand out. It's still my favorite hoodie. I love it's softness and durability. The fabric never pills. The fit is great.

Had to. You'll want two too.

Seriously the softest dang zip up - had to buy in another color.
