Ferrosi Hooded Jacket - Men's

Good Light Jacket

I use this for Mountain Biking in cold or wet weather. If you're looking for something lightweight and breathable, this is the one. It's not waterproof, but rain does bead up well. In active pursuits, it doesn't feel like a plastic bag. Comfortable and looks good too.

Go-to jacket for backcountry skiing, climbing, and hiking

This is my go-to ski jacket for most activities! It's highly breathable and a lightweight softshell. I predominately do backcountry skiing in the Colorado Rockies and wear this as my every-day winter and spring ski jacket. It's got enough waterproof for our lightweight snow, but it could get soaked on the high precipitation days. It also has 2 drop pockets that allow you to drop your gloves or skins into. If you're too hot, you can unzip the 2 waist pockets and the chest pocket for extra ventilation. It's also super durable. I often ski in tight trees, and skin around trees, and have ripped many jackets and clothes. This doesn't have a single tear despite wearing it 2-3 times a week for the past year. On climbing, I do a lot of trad climbing and have yet to get a hole in this jacket despite all the jamming and rubbing on rock. I haven't put this through any Chimneys and Offwidths yet though.

Ferrosi Hoodie

The jacket has been a trusty companion of mine when traveling to various countries. The jacket packs extremely small. The jacket can keep you warm or cool depending on weather and how you use it and layer appropriately. It is also slightly water resistant, however I would not recommend in a down pour. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a do it all jacket.

My go-to light jacket

I fits and feels great. I love how packable it is and versatile it is from one activity to another.

The hood fits around my hat!!!

I bought the hood to take on a two week trip backpacking through England, France and Italy. Now I know why women get to excited for dresses with pockets!! The hood has an elastic draw string that fits perfect around your hat!! It's the best, your hat stays on and the weather stays out!!! Size is perfect and it was great for a damp cool day in London!

They made it even better.

I loved my first one to death, ski touring, beach days, cycling and everything in between. I only had two complaints, the zipper eventually failed (probably because I zipped it around my baby too many times) and the waist draw string got caught on things. So I was pretty excited when I bought a new one and it arrived with a burlier zipper and a draw string that keeps the loose end of of the way.

Amazing shell

Lightweight and great in all warm dry conditions. I've used on hikes and multiple trips to the range. Love it.

Great material that feels strong - chest pocket and two hip pockets have zipper that keeps everything secure.

Great for all weather and backpacks.

I wore this jacket everyday for about 3 weeks while traveling through Switzerland and Italy. It's super light weight which means it isn't going to keep you warm below about 45 degrees, but it's super flexible which means it's awesome as a layer. Throw on a t-shirt and fleece under this and you're layered for everything the day has in store. The fabric allows the rain to roll right off while maintaining breathability. I only tossed my raincoat on top when it was a non-stop downpour and I needed to stay outdoors. Otherwise, this hoodie will shed water really well as a light outer shell. The chest pocket is handy for tickets or credit cards. The side pockets offer plenty of space for lightweight gloves. The ONLY complaint is the hoodie drawstring. It works well to keep the hoodie in place, but I found it a tad lacking when it came to closing the open area where your face is exposed. Then is only minor if you're wearing a hat of any sort. I wore a heavy photography backpack almost everyday and the jacket showed no signs of wear even with constant rubbing.

New favorite jacket

The Ferrosi is an almost perfect jacket. Lightweight, stretchy, perfect fit, and sheds water and wind well. What's more to ask?
