What is the Coefficient Hoodie?
The Coefficient Hoodie is a stretchy fleece primarily made for winter adventuring. Whether ski touring, alpine climbing or heading for a good old-fashioned mountain hike, you can layer it under a shell or down jacket for optimum warmth and protection. Alternatively, you could wear it as a lighter outer layer during shoulder seasons when temperatures are milder.
What is it made of?
This hoodie is made with Polartec® Power Dry® fleece that has a gridded backer, which is lightweight, odour-resistant and moisture-wicking. This material uses a unique, bi-component patented knit that strengthens performance efficiency by increasing warmth and breathability. It has a hydrophilic interior that pulls moisture away from the skin and moves it to the outside, helping to prevent sweat build-up when working hard. The exterior surface then disperses and releases moisture from the interior, quickening the fabric's drying time and promoting efficient temperature regulation in both hot and cold conditions.
For the more eco-conscious shopper, you'll be glad to know that this fabric is bluesign® approved, meaning it's 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.
What are its features?
This fleece has an under-the-helmet hood that is light and thin enough to wear underneath a climbing helmet for added protection and warmth on exposed walls.
A zipped chest pocket lets you keep small essentials like snacks and energy gels handy. The configuration and placement of this pocket make it easily accessible with one hand, perfect if you're losing energy halfway up an ascent and need to grab a quick bite.
Lightweight, stretchy cuffs make room for gloves or smartwatches, ideal for wearing this fleece more casually, for walk-ins or adventures on the ground. They have integrated thumb loops which help to keep the sleeve in place, and stop them from rolling up your arm when sliding another layer over the top.
A slim cut keeps bulk to a minimum, making adding an extra layer or two over the top easy and comfortable when the weather's not playing ball.
