What is the Keb Fleece Hoodie?
Whether mountaineering in the Highlands, walking in the Lake District or commuting on a fresh, autumnal morning, you can wear the Keb Fleece Hoodie virtually anywhere! It has a durable yet soft design, with an improved fit and brushed-back fleece material to keep you feeling cosy all day long.
What is it made of?
The material used is a mix of recycled polyester, traceable wool and elastane, combining each fabric's benefits to ensure you stay comfortable and regulated while out and about.
It has a flat knitted, low-friction exterior that smoothly glides underneath other layers, with a brushed back that feels super soft next to the skin, should you wear a t-shirt underneath. This clever fabric will also wick away moisture from sweat, dry quickly, remain warm when wet, can naturally resist odours and has a high amount of stretch for more demanding activities. What more could you want?!
G1000® Eco patches reinforce the shoulders, as these areas are prone to wear quicker if you're wearing a backpack, and are more exposed to wet conditions, increasing the longevity of the hoodie.
G1000® Eco is a more eco-friendly version of the standard G1000®. It's made from recycled polyester and organic cotton to minimise environmental impact without compromising durability, abrasion resistance and performance. To increase water repellency, you could even apply some extra Greenland wax to these patches - watch our quick how-to video by clicking here.
What are its features?
A two-way front zipper accommodates more technical demands if you're climbing with a harness whilst offering the option to dump some heat without removing the whole fleece. When fully zipped, a chin guard at the top prevents the fastening from rubbing and catching on your skin.
An improvement on the hood's construction means it fits more snugly to help keep the warmth in and the wind out. In contrast, a regular fit in the body allows you to pop layers underneath without additional bulk, ensuring you have room over the top for a shell or down jacket when needed.
The vertical chest pocket is ideal for storing keys, a mobile phone or trail snacks, keeping them within reach at all times, and two zippered hand pockets work nicely for warming up your digits, plus extra storage, of course.
Overall, the Keb Fleece Hoodie makes an excellent midlayer for colder mountain days or works well as a lightweight outer layer for in-between seasons. Alternatively, you could wear it as an everyday fleece with jeans or shorts, making it a fantastic all-round addition to your wardrobe!
