The Vortex Hoodie is made for the alpine approach. Appropriate as either a cold weather base-layer or all-season mid-layer, the Vortex offers extreme adaptability in a lightweight package. Warm but breathable Polartec® Power Grid™ offers moisture-wicking insulation in a lightweight package, while a slim-fitting hood and front zipper provide versatile venting. With reinforcements in high-abrasion areas for extended durability and sleek bicep pockets to keep essential gear close to hand, the Vortex is ready for an extended tour of duty in a range of environments.

• Adaptive Insulation

  Made with a unique grid construction that maximizes breathability and wicking, Polartec® Power Grid™ provides warmth without compromising on weight or compressibility. This makes it ideal in a lightweight insulating layer for active use. Combined with the hood, zipper and thumb-hole cuffs of the Vortex Hoodie, the result is a piece appropriate for a wide range of conditions and activities. Put up the hood, close the zipper, and utilize the thumb-holes for maximum warmth when beginning your approach. As you warm, remove the hood, unzip the zipper, and push up the sleeves for maximum venting

• Packable

  Whether you're on the mountain or in the city, the Vortex won't weigh you down. Weighing in at 7.9 ounces and compressible to the size of a water bottle, the Vortex can be stashed in your pack, ready to provide critical warmth when needed.

• Comfort in Motion

  With inherent stretch and thumb-hole cuffs, the Vortex will keep you covered and unrestricted during dynamic movement. A sleek outer face ensures comfortable layering under a shell in inclement weather.

• Versatile Styling

  Equally at home on the mountain and in the city, the Vortex offers a slim, tailored fit with subtle nylon accents.

• Ambidextrous Storage

  Dual bicep pockets provide streamlined storage that remains accessible under a rucksack, body armor, or harness.
