Collapsed hood constructions sit like a deflated balloon, robbing the silhouette of any structure or style.

You tug the drawstring to tighten the hood against a biting wind and the metal eyelet pops through the fabric, leaving a frayed hole that renders the entire adjustment system useless.

Reinforced metal eyelets with bar-tack stitching anchor drawstring tension securely, letting you seal the hood against driving rain or leave it open for ventilation.

Q: How warm is Tech Fleece compared to standard cotton?
A: Tech Fleece traps approximately 30% more still air than equivalent-weight cotton fleece thanks to its lofted knit structure. It delivers hoodie warmth at sweater weight, making it ideal for layering under a jacket or wearing solo on crisp mornings.

Q: Will the hood lose shape after washing?
A: The three-panel construction includes a central stabilizing seam and edge tape that resists torque in the washing machine. Reshape while damp and dry flat to maintain the original structured profile through repeated laundering.
