Getting away from the bulky, fuzzy, fleece of old these new midlayers offer a smooth, windproof, and water repellency which truly make them versatile and multi-functional jackets for a variety of sports. The Salomon Essential X Warm Women's Hoodie has an 11% elastane content for four way stretch, a fuzzy heat trapping and moisture wicking interior that’s comfortable against your bare skin for tee shirts and ready to hit the colder weather when you’re layering with baselayers, and a high neckline with a scuba hood for when you need even more protection. A nice drop tail hem for extra coverage in the back, this fits smoothly under a ski shell or rain jacket when you’re layering while providing a nice layer for aerobic sports in chilly weather. What we’d call an all-around piece and one we’d expect would be useful for everything from chilly summer evenings to late season trail runs, as well as making a smooth and easy to move in layering piece for women who like to dial in their outfits to suit the weather and the day’s activities. Tee or baselayer, under a shell or as your primary layer, this is the modern improvement over the old fuzzy fleece with a fabric that won’t start looking worn and tired at the end of a season.
