I've often pondered this while in the saddle. A hoodie would work for me probably 75% of the season. Closest I've come to one is either legendary whitetails or scentlok. But even those don't half zip and are missing features. I contacted scentlok and asked them if they'd consider making one for saddle hunters with side zips and they responded that they liked the idea but there wasn't enough demand
I have this and its very warm, quiet, and definitely windproof.Been looking for the same thing, regardless of whether it’s saddle-focused. The features I want are:
1. Very quiet
2. Light absorbing (like fleece or wool)
3. Warm
4. Good camo (Sitka or FL patterns, not mimicry camo)
5. Quarter-zip
6. Kangaroo pocket
7. Articulated hood
8. Stretchy fabric
9. Wind-resistant (at least)
10. Tapered sleeves
I actually tried that jacket, but for me, it was super movement-restrictive and didn't fit well at all. My experience with the Nomad stuff has been very hit-or-miss. I really like their Whitetail Scrape Jacket and their early season pants, but I've returned about $3,000 worth of their other stuff (purchased with a discount code for half that) that I tried on and didn't like due to poor fit or cheap materials. The Cottonwood 1/2 Zip didn't work for me in either medium or large.I have this and its very warm, quiet, and definitely windproof.

How does it handle the wind and movement? Most of the fleece stuff I have does next-to-nothing against the wind and is not at all stretchy or good for range of motion.The military surplus polartec fleece jacket meets almost all the criteria except hood and camo....
Nomad makes some "hoodies". Super warm and quiet.

Its awesome! I added a 10 inch zipper on both sides for bridge loops!Browsing their website I came across this gem! I think I will try one. That upper pocket, for us, might be something major!

I'd recommend the Chuck Norris. The deer would probably see him and die of fear instantly.I'll be adding one of these hoodies to the fall collection this year I believe.
