Great fleece hoody. It’s warm, breathable, light and it packs down small. Looking forward to trying it out as part of a layering system in different seasons and conditions and picking up some matching pants in the future.
The fit is perfect. I am 5'11 and around 170lbs. Warmth is very good! I have yet to take them out into the wild, but I feel like this is a great addition to the kit.
Thanks!!
Outstanding. Ordered true to size and it fits great. Super light and SUPER warm. Took it out on a 3 day trip along the bay of Fundy the day it arrived and it kept me toasty when temps dropped to 6C
Amazing product, amazing customer sevice
Excellent Alpha hoodie, very well made! Not sure I'm into the super long sleeves (they are longer than two full hand lengths past my fingers) but I can hem them. Great to find an Alpha hoodie made in Canada!
Edit: I just wanted to comment on the amazing customer service from Nick at Lobtree. I mentioned the extra long sleeves in my review here, and he emailed me asking if I'd like to exchange the Large size for a Medium. I was unsure what size to order and the Large was a bit too big, but I decided to live with my mistake! After Nick reached out, I ended up exchanging the hoodie and he sent me a new size Medium and it fits perfect! Don't hesitate to buy an alpha hoodie from Lobtree! ★★★★★
