What is the Outpost Hoodie?
It's a high-pile fleece hoodie with a retro look and modern performance. It's the ideal piece for everyday life during the autumn and winter, suitable for both casual and outdoor lifestyles and stylish enough to take you from trail to town, maybe even to the pub for a pint! Just one, of course...
What is it made of?
The Outpost uses a combination of Polartec® 300 high pile shearling fleece and Matrix™ double weave stretch fabric overlays. The overlays are treated in a fluorocarbon-free DWR (durable water repellent) that encourages light rain to bead off the material.
Polartec® 300 is extremely warm and feels nice and soft on the skin. It's ideal for cosying up on cold winter days when you need something reliable to keep you snug.
Matrix™ double weave stretch overlays are placed on the upper front torso, back yoke and shoulders to give added protection to enhance durability. These overlays help prevent backpacks from rubbing and wearing the fleece down where a lot of weight may lie, increasing its overall longevity and helping prevent it from looking shabby from just a few uses.
What are its features?
The hood feels soft and comfortable and has elastic stretch binding around the edge to cinch it around the face and increase heat retention.
This jacket is fastened with a YKK® Vislon® centre front zip that operates smoothly and is easy to grab, even with numb fingers or gloves. At the top of the zip is a roll-over chin guard, helping prevent it from catching or rubbing on the skin when the zip's fully fastened and the hood is up.
A zippered pocket on the chest is perfect for valuables like a mobile phone, while two zippered hand pockets provide extra space for keys, a wallet, hill snacks or doggy bags.
Sleeves have a set in construction that feels comfortable over a t-shirt or baselayer, and elastic binding is placed on the cuffs and hem to optimise the fit without restricting movement.
