Measurements

The sizes include recommended user measurements: height and chest circumference. These are based on the body of a young, athletic man. If you are tall and don't use thumbholes, the Regular length is suitable even for up to 190 cm (6' 3") folks.

A hoodie chosen according to the recommendation is form-fitting with some clearance, definitely not a loose sack. The material is stretchy.

In the size charts below, you can find the actual garment measurements. The widths are measured laid flat e.g. the chest width is from armpit to armpit. The front and back lengths are measured from the bottom of the hood, the sleeve length is measured from the shoulder seam.

Technical details and instructions

Materials

  • Fabric weight: 350 g/m2 / 10 oz/yd2
  • Material: interlock weave blend of 78% mulesing-free Merino wool, 19% viscose, and 3% elastane
  • Reinforcements: 52% polyamide, 48% Merino Wool, 245 g/m2
  • Fiber width: 19.5 microns
  • Abrasion resistance: When it comes to abrasion resistance, this hoodie does quite well for a wool garment, but has its limitations – especially the sleeve cuff & thumbhole area is vulnerable to wear and tear in continuous use. This seems to be a common complaint as people wear these every day everywhere! The sleeve cuffs can be repaired by cutting off the whole thing just before the thumbholes and sewing the cut edge shut.

Care

Merino wool doesn't absorb nasty odors easily, so you don't have to wash it that often. If you have to wash this, do it gently using a wool cycle. For a complete, thorough washing process, we have some pretty nice solutions for wool, like these two:

  • Sonett olive laundry liquid for wool and silk 1 L
  • Sonett wool care 300 ml

Note! We recommend washing the hoodie before taking it into use because some color may transfer from the product before the first wash. 

Mulesing-free!Our merino wool clothes and accessories are all made from mulesing-free merino wool. This is a good thing. We bet you wouldn’t want anyone to rip you a new one.

Description

This is the best Merino wool hoodie on Earth for everyone with an active lifestyle! Wear it as a mid-layer – or as it is during or after intense movement. This is made of thickish Merino wool, probably the best fabric ever. The cut is also designed properly to a tee. Merino wool doesn’t itch, and it is warm in chilly weather and cool in warm.

  • Our most popular upper garment: superb cut, handy pockets
  • Merino wool – the best material for most uses
  • Works as a top layer or under a shell jacket

Looks good, ideal for an active lifestyle

Slim hourglass fit with a long hem. Quality zipper on the front, with a flap on the backside to prevent it from making contact with the skin if you're not wearing anything under this. The collar is so high when zipped up that you really don't need a scarf or a neck tube. The hood has a drawcord adjustment. Thumbholes on the sleeve cuffs. If you don’t use them, roll up the sleeves or if you have long arms, take the Regular-sized one instead of the Long.

The fabric is stretchy, so this hoodie won’t restrict your ninja moves in any way. The hem is long, and thanks to the snug fit, the hoodie also works as a warm mid-layer under a windproof jacket.

Smart set of pockets

The hoodie has two handwarmer pockets (volume about one wine bottle each) and a kangaroo pocket on the back that can be accessed from either side, a good place for storing gloves and other accessories. On the left sleeve, you'll find a zippered pocket, roomy enough for most modern smartphones. You could probably fit a nice assortment of combat gear in the pockets, and leave your chest rig at home.

As is customary these days, the sleeve pocket is covered with a loop panel. This means you can slap on a morale or other important patch of your choice. A good civilian choice is a reflector tab.

Use

Our Merino Wool Hoodie will keep you warm outdoors but won't get sweaty indoors either. It works well as a mid-layer, but it can also be worn on its own during or after intense movement and in the summertime. When wet, it won’t feel clammy or cold like synthetics or cotton do. Merino wool is a lot finer than regular wool, so it won’t itch even if you have sensitive skin. It is one of the nicest materials you can rub on your skin.

Made in the EU

The petrol hoodie is made in Lithuania by Utenos. The other colors are made in Lithuania by Omniteksas.
