You do not want insulation on your back when you are hiking uphill in a backpack. To be truly purpose-built for ski touring, we have no insulation on the back of the hybrid hoodie.
Extremely light, highly breathable, and quick drying with the perfect amount of loft. In insulation, warmth comes from loft—the air pockets that trap heat. Alpha™’s unique structure delivers one of the best loft-to-weight ratios available, while its open shape breathes and dumps heat faster than grid or traditional fleece. The exposed fibers increase surface area for faster drying, making Alpha™ lighter and more efficient than other synthetic insulations.
Manage the breathability of this piece even further with concealed pit zips, something you don’t often see on layers like this.
Keep your hood on all day. The deep front zipper lets you ventilate your chest and release heat efficiently, while the two-way design allows you to stay ventilated and still keep the neck and hood snug.
An internal elastic sleeve and webbing loop inside the chest pocket let you securely hold your beacon, phone, or other essentials. The pocket aligns perfectly with the pass-through pocket on the TourTech Shell for quick access. The beacon pocket is also where the hybrid hoodie packs itself into for the most compressed carry in your pack.
Pack the entire layer into the beacon pocket easily for the most compressed storage and transportation method.
This hood is designed to be worn over a hat, rather than a helmet, allowing you to keep your ears warm and keep the hood on all day.
DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
Raide builds light, aesthetic and balanced equipment for steep terrain. We believe that the best gear isn’t dependent on any one variable, like being the lightest, but a combination of style, weight, durability, and functionality to solve problems for outdoor athletes.
