What is the Echo Hoodie?
The Echo Hoodie is a super lightweight, breathable hoodie built with moisture and odour-controlling technology. It's also super stretchy to benefit freedom of movement, making it perfect for summer adventures like hiking, scrambling, camping or climbing.
What is it made of?
Outdoor Research has constructed this hoodie using 100% bluesign® approved polyester, which feels smooth against the skin yet is surprisingly durable. It's lightweight and quick-drying, so if you get caught out in a shower on the hill, this material will dry out in no time. The Echo Hoodie also provides UPF protection to shield you from the sun's harmful rays when you're out in exposed terrain. Lighter colours offer UPF 15-level protection, and darker colours offer UPF 20.
bluesign® approval means the fabric is manufactured in a way that is safe for the environment, workers and consumers. bluesign® certifications ensure that the materials used avoid harmful substances, use reduced air and water emissions, increase resource productivity, and the production line is more transparent and trustworthy.
Built-in ActiveFresh™ Odour Control eliminates bad smells, providing long-lasting freshness without compromising breathability for a great next-to-skin feel. ActiveFresh™ uses bio-based silver-free technology, which inhibits odour by actively preventing odour-causing bacteria from building up; it is perfect for when you're getting sweaty in the gym or hiking under the summer sun.
AirVent™ technology also amplifies ventilation using ultra-fine yarns with an open texture, almost like a mesh. This mesh-like face allows airflow through the material to ensure air permeability during high-exertion activities. It wicks away moisture efficiently to pull perspiration away from the skin as you sweat.
What features does it have?
A flat-seam construction helps to prevent rubbing and chafing when working hard or wearing a running vest or a backpack. The three-panel hood has a 'pony port' that you can slip a ponytail through to stop it from uncomfortably pressing the back of your head when wearing it.
Raglan sleeves provide a better range of movement around the shoulders, while thumb loops help to keep the sleeves in place when sliding a layer over the top, rock climbing or cutting some dynamic shapes in the bouldering field.
The design is finished with subtle reflective logos to improve visibility for exploring and exercising before dawn or after dusk.
