A hybrid midlayer that does double duty as an outer layer in milder conditions, the Dual Aspect Hoody combines warm, stretchy and breathable Polartec Power Grid fabric with a Patagonia exclusive shelled Polartec Power Shield fabric for robust protection and durability.
Features
Patterned through upper back, full front torso and down sleeves, a Patagonia exclusive shelled Polartec Power Shield fabric balances wind, weather and abrasion resistance with warmth and breathability
Shelled Polartec Power Shield on back and shoulders is cut on bias for mechanical stretch
Polartec Power Dry fabric in hood, side panels, lower back and down sleeves delivers warmth, stretch and breathability
Snug-fitting balaclava-style hood provides warm, stretchy, breathable comfort under a helmet
Two high handwarmer pockets with Slim Zips stay clear of a harness or pack waistbelt; single zippered exterior chest pocket
Elastic binding at hood hem and cuffs seal out weather
On frigid ice and alpine climbs, sometimes the approach is as demanding as the route. When wind and blowing snow threaten to change your course, our Dual Aspect Hoody is more than a fleece—it blurs the line between midlayer and shell with an exclusive weather-shedding, breathable and durable soft-shell fabric package (Polartec Power Shield, with DWR finish, bonded to a Polartec Power Grid knit) that insulates and protects key areas, while allowing for smooth layering under a jacket when the tempest builds. Stretchy Polartec Power Dry fleece in the hood, lower back, side panels, cuffs and undersides of the arms minimize bulk, enhance breathability and ensure mobility. With a zippered chest pocket, zippered hand pockets that sit above harness line and a snug balaclava-style hood.
