A stretchy and super breathable insulation layer that rewrites the rules of how to stay dry and warm when moving fast in the mountains made with a 100% recycled polyester face fabric and insulated with 100% recycled synthetic Air Flake insulation that retains warmth even when wet.

Why we like it:

Designed for high output adventures and everyday travels there are two details we really like about this design: the packable Air Flake insulation which means you can squash this down into its own pocket for transportable warmth, and the two dump pockets included on the inside which are a thoughtful and useful addition to a midlayer.

Features and Functions:

Made with 100% recycled Air Flake synthetic insulation that stays warm even when wet this is a 100% recycled 4-way stretch face fabric treated with PFC-FREE DWR for light rain and snow with an adjustable hood and zip chest and hand pockets plus two internal drop pockets. It stows into a zip internal chest pocket and interestingly has sizing advice for people using it in the mountaineering style as a top layer during rest stops (size up for fitting over a shell, regular sizing for use as a midlayer).

Fit and Sizing:

Regular fit for comfortable movement. Size up for layering over a shell.

Bottom Line:

A thoughtfully designed midlayer that goes beyond a horizontally baffled puffy, packable into its own pocket for transport and designed to be used as either a conventional layering piece or mountaineering style… as an insulator during rest stops… the Jones Dark Start Recycled Men's Hoodie takes outdoor sports seriously.
