Product Overview
Stretch Grid Air Hoody 1/2 Zip: The Kinetic Layer
Maximum Airflow. Minimal Mass.
When you're moving fast, "standard" fleece is your enemy. It traps too much heat, gets heavy with sweat, and takes up half your pack. The Stretch Grid Air Hoody 1/2 Zip is the antidote. Built for the high-output athlete, this piece uses a precision-engineered grid geometry to manage your microclimate in real-time. It's the layer you put on at the trailhead and forget you're wearing until you're back at the truck.
Built to Move
- Polartec® Stretch Grid: This isn't just fabric; it's a thermal engine. The raised fleece pillars trap warmth against your skin, while the open "air channels" between them allow moisture and excess heat to escape instantly.
- The "Goldilocks" Weight: Designed to be the perfect weight for all 4 seasons. It's a breezy sun-layer on a high-alpine summer trek and a high-wicking powerhouse under a shell in February.
- Unrivaled Packability: Highly compressible and low-profile. It stuffs into the small corners of your bag, making it the ultimate insurance policy for unpredictable mountain weather.
Technical Refinement
- Deep 1/2 Zip Venting: Equipped with a rugged YKK® zipper, the deep chest cut allows for massive manual temperature regulation during steep ascents.
- Active Scuba Hood: Fits snugly under a climbing or ski helmet without obstructing your peripheral vision.
- Zero-Drag Fit: The 4-way stretch ensures the garment moves with you, not against you. No bunching under pack straps or restrictive arm movement.
