A bluebird day in Chamonix can summon a sense of the perfect proportion of culture to nature. For a bracing morning glacier traverse followed by aperitifs at the Buffet de la Gare, a rugged, functional fleece with a handsome sweater-knit exterior is a natural choice. The Patagonia Better Sweater Hoody for Men combines the durability and easy care of 9.5-oz 100% polyester with a sophisticated sweater-knit weave and heather-overdyed yarns. Mountain-town comforts: a stand-up collar built into the hood for extra protection from the elements; collar, cuffs and hem lined with Capilene fabric for moisture-wicking performance; a chest zip pocket and cozy zippered handwarmer pockets for stowing digital cameras, phones and audio devices.
Ideal for all types of outings
Patagonia did a great job with this one. Nice and soft, and plenty of room without being baggy. The hood makes this sweater stand apart. It makes this top perfect for hanging around camp on chilly fall evenings after a hike, and there are enough pockets to store all your campsite essentials. Even for urban dwellers, I highly recommend this one.
