7mesh Men's Chilco Hoody Overview
The 7mesh Men's Chilco Hoody is designed for those days when you need warmth without feeling sealed inside your layers. Built with WTV 300 fabric, it combines wind protection and thermal performance with high air permeability, allowing warm and cool air to exchange as your activity level changes.
A high-loft backer provides comfortable insulation in cooler conditions, while four-way stretch gives you the freedom to move naturally, whether you're hiking, biking or exploring the backcountry. When the pace increases, the breathable construction helps excess heat escape, making the Chilco particularly versatile for stop-start activities and changing conditions.

Materials
Made from 57% polyester, 34% recycled polyester and 9% elastane, the Chilco Hoody combines durability, stretch and thermal performance. The pocket contrast fabric uses 80% polyester and 20% elastane.
WTV 300 Fabric
WTV stands for Wind Thermal Ventilation, and the Chilco uses the warmer WTV 300 version of this technical fabric. Its high-loft backer provides thermal insulation while the outer construction offers wind protection.
Rather than completely blocking airflow, WTV 300 maintains high air permeability, allowing warm and cool air to exchange as your activity level changes. This creates a useful balance between protection, warmth and breathability during active use.
Polyester
Polyester provides durability and helps create a technical fabric suitable for repeated outdoor use. Its synthetic construction also works effectively within the WTV 300 fabric to balance warmth, breathability and protection.
Recycled Polyester
Recycled polyester makes up 34% of the main fabric, providing the performance benefits of polyester while reducing reliance on virgin synthetic fibres.
Elastane
The 9% elastane content gives the main fabric its four-way stretch. This allows the hoodie to move naturally with your body and provides greater freedom of movement during active outdoor pursuits.
Pocket Contrast Fabric
The pocket contrast material combines 80% polyester with 20% elastane. Its higher stretch content provides flexibility around the pocket areas while maintaining durability for regular use.
Responsibility and Fabric Certifications

Oeko-Tex Standard 100 Certified Fabric

PFC and PFAS-Free Fabric
The Chilco Hoody uses fabric made without PFC and PFAS, reducing reliance on these persistent, fluorinated chemicals.
Features and Technologies
Wind Protection
The windproof construction helps reduce the chilling effect of cold air, making the Chilco particularly useful in exposed outdoor environments and cooler conditions.
High Air Permeability
Despite its wind protection and warmth, the fabric is designed to remain highly air permeable. This helps excess heat escape when your pace increases, improving comfort during higher-output activities.
Four-Way Stretch
Four-way stretch allows the fabric to move in multiple directions, providing excellent freedom of movement for hiking, cycling and other dynamic outdoor activities.
High-Loft Backer
The high-loft inner surface traps warm air close to the body, providing effective thermal performance while maintaining the breathability required for active use.
Full-Length Zip
A full front zip makes the hoody easy to put on and remove while also providing additional control over ventilation as conditions or activity levels change.
Two Hand Pockets
Two classic hand pockets provide convenient storage for everyday essentials while also offering somewhere to warm your hands in cooler conditions.
Brushed Elastic Cuffs
Soft, brushed elastic cuffs provide a comfortable fit around the wrists while helping the sleeves stay securely in place during movement.
Soft-Touch Neck
A soft-touch finish around the neck helps reduce rubbing and chafing, improving comfort during extended wear.
How Does It Fit?
The 7mesh Men's Chilco Hoody is designed with an athletic, close-to-body fit that works particularly well for active outdoor use. The four-way stretch WTV 300 fabric allows the hoody to move comfortably with your body without feeling restrictive.
It works well over a lightweight baselayer or Merino shirt, while the streamlined shape makes it easy to wear beneath a waterproof or windproof shell when additional protection is needed. If you prefer a more relaxed fit or plan to wear thicker layers underneath, consider sizing up.
