A thick, snuggly merino wool semi-technical hoodie. Hank the Tank is throwing it back to the 90's and 2000's when high quality clothing was made from wool, heavy, and lasted forever with the right care. This is that but with some technical features such as raglan sleeves and a balaclava-style hood. Technical but casual. The definition of athleisure.

Technical apparel is quickly becoming fast fashion. New fabrics coming out every few months, making the last version obsolete overnight. Old versions of fabrics go to the dumpster. New fabrics are just a rearrangement of the last fabric with a cool new name and probably not as good. As cottage brands, many are becoming the thing we told everyone we were not. This hoodie is my middle finger to fast fashion taking over the outdoor apparel space. It's classic, its bomb proof and it took two years to go from prototype to making it on my website.

Made from 350gsm New Zealand merino wool. Exact composition is 89% merino wool, 7% nylon and 4% spandex. It breathes super well and has a crazy stretch and almost bounce to it. It thermoregulates very well, not feeling too hot very easily. It's naturally antimicrobial and doesn't require washing very frequently. If you have to ask how much it weighs, this isn't for you. (1.5 to 2.5 pounds in mens XL) This is not for thru-hiking although it has been on some long backpack trips. It excels as casual wear, day hikes, skiing, short backpack and bike pack trips. It IS machine washable and I recommend laying flat to dry but some tumble drying on low heat seems to be okay.

Hand made in Bend, Oregon. Allow up to 2 weeks lead time on this hoodie.
