Polar Riding Hoodie

This hoodie is perfect for many reasons. Very warm. Great idea with the zippered pockets, won’t lose stuff when I’m riding or drinking around a bonfire, makes a great place to put your weed. Hood fits well, mask is a nice addition for keeping warm- and concealing my identity when clashing with riot police. Thumb holes keep the hands warm and the elements out. All round great purchase. Highly recommend. WARNING: your girlfriend will try and steal it. Get 2.

This has been a great hoodie for spring. I've ridden in it 10+ times in mostly partly-cloudy, and sometimes very windy days. Just a long sleeve underneath keeps me warm without feeling bulky or constricted. When the wind kicks up, the large face mask and hood keep the cold out, and the front pouch keeps my hands warm when I'm not wearing gloves on the lift. I even rode in it on a surprise powder day! With a sweater underneath I was still comfortable all day. I can think of a few small quality of life improvements I'd love to see in future versions...but honestly if it stays the same, I'm gonna re-buy it once this one wears out.

Quality of materials is great, and it has a longer fit perfect to wear while riding . I’m 5’8 and I ordered a medium. The hood and neck gaiter are great for keeping. The face warm while riding the chair lift.
The only thing I would change are the sleeve cuffs. I would rather have them loose without the thumb hole so I can fit them over my gloves. Other than that the riding hoody is dope and I’ll be using it for years.

very nice cut! great weight. the neck gaiter is a bit bulky but is quite warm! definitely recommend for a warm day on its own or a cold day below a shell

I don't know why this is the first time a hoodie came out with a build in neck gaiter, it works like a charm.

Something else some other manufacturers fail to make is zippered pockets on a hoodie like this. Most of my full front zippered hoodies have them their pockets but I haven't seen this on DWR pull over hoodies.

Will this replace my puffy jacket as a mid layer? probably not on the not so cold days as I'd like to be able to regulate my body temperature using a full on zipper.

Not 5 stars as I don't like having thumbhole cuffs or a mid layer as most if not all outer layers have this integrated already, so this is kinda useless.
