Who makes hoodies with balaclava style hoods?
|
There's the obvious R1 and BD coefficient. Who else makes hoodies with balaclava hoods? |

NWAlpine Spider. Arcteryx Konseal. Marmot Idio. |
|
|
|
Pretty much everybody. i can't think of a single major company that doesn't |
|
Pretty much every company is right. Rab and OR make my favorite ones |
|
If you don't really want to buy a new shell just to get the hood, I have a stand-alone balaclava type hood. Something like 200 weight fleece. Never worn, Available for cheap. |

I have the arcteryx konseal. The face mask part is only good when you’re not wearing glasses or goggles, because it’ll fog those right up. That said, it does fit quite nicely when that’s not a concern. It is on the lighter end, though. |

Only downside is you have to take off your helmet if you want to start using the buff. |

Outdoor Research makes the transition hoodie. You can get a good discount with an AAC membership. https://www.outdoorresearch.com/us/en/mens-transition-hoody/p/2448280936008 |

Here is some measurements from Arc'teryx Q&A website, comparing pre-2016 and 2016+ for size Medium: ---------------- Pre 2016 model |

I'd look up Loki if i were you, it's a smaller company based in colorado that makes really nice hoodies, softshells and some other articles of clothing. |

While I love it, wear it year round climbing and find it plenty long it's also cut bigger than a similar size R1. I have a hard time finding gear that fits my shoulders and the Fortrez works well for me. If you're not built like an NFL linebacker it may not work for you. Arcteryx has been slimming down their sizing so ymmv? |

Melanzana !! |

Consider a melanzana micro grid. It is lightweight, durable, and comes at a good price point. I wrote a review for it on my blog here: http://hikethepla.net/review-melanzana-microgrid-fleece-hoodie/ |
