Hooded grid fleece

[eoperator]

Ya, it's definitively much thicker and heavier than most of the hoodies mentioned in this thread. I really like it for still hunting and as an outer layer when winter hiking/snowshoeing. Not really a backpacking piece but I still prefer it over my Klamath for most situations.

Does the high e hood bother you? The pics make it look like the hood "flaps" would bother me.

Does anyone know of any deals on the fanatic hoody? I'm leaning on grabbing one in black

They don't bother me but I guess it's a personal preference and it could be different for you. Here's a picture with the hood zipped up but not on. And another with it on. The last one might be what you were referring to but it doesn't bother me unzipped, on or off my head. I actually think the "flaps" lay on your shoulders quite well when not using the hood at all. I'm happy to take more photos in different positions if it's helpful but I'm out of town for a few days so it would have to be next week sometime.

The hood on the High E has never bothered me either. It lays pretty flat. Only place it doesn’t work well is packed...just too bulky. I have an SG Helio hoody ordered, so I’ll report back on that.

I have a grid fleece with a similar hood and it absolutely bugs me with the hood up but not fully zipped. Getting slapped in the face repeatedly is not enjoyable.

This is exactly what I was thinking.

There’s a company called Freeride Systems out of Leadville CO that has a nice grid fleece. Made in USA. I have their grid fleece hoody( old style). They also make technical jackets too.

I am a big fan of the high-e voormi hoody too and especially love how tough it is for a wool layer. They have several lighter pieces that use the same surface hardened wool tech that I am looking to add to my collection but as another person posted Unkillable!

These hooded grid fleece are awesome! Handmade in Leadville, CO. Currently running through a lottery system due to covid but I don’t think you’d be dissatisfied with one.
