Mountain Hardwear  Crater Lake Hoody - Men's

Survived for almost 14 months as my go-to baselayer in any activity where I might get down to a single layer (and where I live I can wear shorts in winter in some of the areas). Fits to size, good shape, very nice material, cool and light and takes little to no space at all. After 50-80 outings (mostly 12+hr hikes and trail runs) and subsequent washes became less stretchy and started to tear when going through the bushes (before that it used to just stretch instead of tearing). So I just got myself a new one

I've now tried about all your Mountain Hardwear materials and I absolutely love the Crater lake material, this is my primary top layer while skinning up backcountry mountains in the spring time when it gets very hot and I need a sun protection layer but something very light yet comfortable on my skin that I can sweat through. This is also my primary sleep attire. On a low note, I'd much rather have the logo on the sleeves like the last batch compared to the chest, I think it looks more professional.

This shirt really surprised me. I purchased this shirt to prove to somebody that you dont have to spend $130 at LL Lemon to get a nice shirt, and boy was I right! The fit is perfect. The fabric is super lightweight and breathable, but still holds some warmth. I really like the 1-2 inches of fabric below the hood for some reason...and the price is amazing. I can buy them in each color before and spend less than the other guys. Anyhow, highly recommend!

Terrible. I've had the hoodie for about a week and have worn it 5 times. The side seams are fraying and coming undone near the bottom hem. At $70, this is unforgivable. What a joke. Returned for refund. Save yourself some money and buy another brand, or a cheaper version of the same type of hoodie from another brand.

In theory, this is a great shirt. In practice it's another story. The second day I wore this, it started unraveling. I had just worn it once, on a city walk. So it hasn't exactly been used hard. And in more than one place! It's a real bummer to

This shirt is crazy stretchy. That’s an awesome feature but I’m finding its elasticity doesn’t rebound for long. Mine is less than 2 months old and it’s gone up at least one size in all directions. It’s now a huge, baggy mess that doesn’t fit me anymore. Just beware this shirt is more gummy than elastic. Mind you, I sleep in this because I’m a backpacker, which definitely puts added strain on the fabric as I roll around, but still. None of the other brands I’ve used have done this. It’s a good looking and comfortable shirt though. If you purchase just beware of this. Maybe go down a size if you are between sizes and store it lying flat so it’s own weight doesn’t elongate it over time.

Absolutely love this shirt. I've worn it for days at a time in the Boundary Waters, Outer Banks, and Everglades with little smell, lots of sun protection, durability, the soft, stretchy material is a real treat to wear. No pilling with a lifejacket has occurred. Every time I go on a multi-day canoe or kayaking trip, this is my go-to shirt. If it ever wears out, I will buy anothe r one without a doubt.

Been using this for my trip to Hawaii. Superlight, breathable, stretchy, and doesn't reek even after hours of sweaty hiking! I've been really impressed.

First off, the good: the actual design of the hoody is great. It's loose enough to breathe on a hot hike, form fitting enough to be flattering, stretchy enough to be comfortable. The red color looks great, the hood fit is fantastic, and the fabric is thin enough to breathe well. There is one MAJOR flaw, however: this hoody is not durable AT ALL. On the second wear EVER since I purchased this hoody, the sleeve stitching began to unravel. The waist already developed holes where the backpack hip strap clip was. To me, that is completely unacceptable for a product in this price range. I would recommend looking elsewhere for a product that can actually last more than two wears.

This hoodie exceeded my expectations. The fit is very nice, I am 5’ 11” 190 with about a 44” chest for reference. The material is very stretchy and extremely breathable. I wore it on a trip to southern California where I hiked in Joshua Tree National Park, and also explored the Palm Springs area where it got up to 95° and I was comfortable. I live in northern New Hampshire so definitely not accustomed to that kind of heat but this shirt worked very well.
