Overall pretty happy with this hoodie. I like the thickness and even with my long arms, the medium sleeves are good enough (ideally I would have a little longer) The reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because I had hoped the neck would come up higher in the front. I would recommend this top, especially since I bought it to replace my Leadville plastic version. I really like the contrast stitching, but I don't know if the sleeve symbols have meaning, dinosaur skeleton and tree.
Very interesting pattern caught my attention. Good quality as usual Neck is open and not skin tight. But remaining shape is skin tight. I like this as it’s new to my winter wardrobe having the hoodie I don’t like the chilly feeling on the back of my neck when it’s exposed to the weather elements. So this will fix that issue as a nice base layer. All good.
I live in the northeast part of the country and the climate is cold in the winter. I love my Smartwool base layers. I have had earlier versions of this base layer and I was able to get a newer version on sale (lucky me!!!). I tried it on and the material is super soft and comfortable.
I bought this Hoodie for a cold weather trip in the fall. Great fit & style. ove the black with gold contrast. It's a great base layer and will hardly takeup any carry-on room. Great produt from SmartWool!
It’s well made. But it has two design flaws in my opinion: the hood is too loose fitting, and it needs thumb holes to keep the wrists down. Otherwise I’d have given it 5 stars.
Highly versatile piece I bring on every camping trip, great for wearing around camp and then sleeping in it on chilly nights. My favorite smartwool garment of all time
Clothing /baselayers can't be more comfortable than this. The merino wool is super soft, very warm and wicks moisture very well.
