R1 TechFace Hoody Men's F25

The four-way stretch fabric is a game-changer for layering—I can easily move around while tying my boots or reaching for tools on job sites. The double-weave material feels tough enough to handle brush, yet it’s surprisingly lightweight and not stuffy.

The gridded interior wicks moisture better than my old softshell, making it comfortable for active hikes. The double-weave face held up against a few branches without snagging, which surprised me. Only wish the chest pocket were a touch deeper for my phone.

The 4-way stretch is exactly what I hoped for on cooler hikes—it moves with me but still feels tough against brush. The double-weave face has already shrugged off a few snags without showing anything.
