Active Ultralite Hoodie Dam

The Tencel blend makes all the difference—it’s somehow cooler against the skin than pure merino, yet still traps warmth when the wind picks up. I’ve thrown it on over a tee for morning walks and under a shell for chilly evenings, and it’s held its shape after three washes without a hint of pilling.

I wore this as my only midlayer on a chilly morning hike and stayed perfectly comfortable without overheating. The merino and lyocell fabric dries impressively quick after washing, which is a huge plus for travel.

I was skeptical about a hoodie this light actually keeping me warm, but the merino and Tencel blend does the job beautifully under a jacket. The fabric feels silky against my skin and breathes way better than my old cotton layers.
