Hunting Hoody

Were it not for shipping and duty, I might be cajoled.

Just for browsing, I've been getting emails for all the Swazi discounts and sales.

Too bad I'm an XL or I could have the ultimate in Bill Belichick outerwear...

THE FED

Brand new to Swazi, the Fed is built to work as hard as you do. Made from our thickest 350gsm Polar Fleece, reinforced at the shoulders and back with our 3 layer windproof Chinook, a good size kangaroo pocket AND with shortened sleeves, the Fed says I'm here to work, but I'm not about to suffer...

Size M might fit you though, lol.

“the Fed says I'm here to work, but I'm not about to suffer for it.” -> what’s with the wheelbarrow?

It is a good reason. I have used a Fanatic jacket with the pass through pocket for many years. I don't like gloves and the hand warmer pocket lets me get away with cut offs most of the year. No extra hand muff to pack.

Personally, I don't really need a hunting hoodie. I think functionally I prefer a coat, and I have a hoodie (that I posted) that's as warm as my Fanatic jacket. Yet here I am looking at Swazi. Why?

The #1 reason for buying sh** you don't need...it looks cool.

late to the party but that dude doesn’t look “cool” he looks cold. Lol

I was disappointed with the Wooltimate, I got colder in it then my under armor stuff.

Neck gaiters are clutch. They keep so much heat in, and cold air out. I wear one skiing but never brought one hunting. I know it would keep me very warm but I wonder how it would affect my bow shooting.

It says the sleeves are shortened but doesn’t say why?

I wish I could fit in a medium so I could wheel around firewood in my underwear like they suggest it be used for.

I don’t think my wife would appreciate this but I know if I got it for her I would get a kick out of it

Dang it @Red Beard, I’m starting to dig that Nahanni shirt. It’s growing on me. I like that they have some original looking designs. Anyone know of any US companies doing similar things?
 
I just picked up one of these, says it’s windproof and dwr which for a product designed for ice fishing I bet it is. Once I get it I’ll report out.

So far I’m really liking it. I didn’t buy it for hunting but it could easily be worn for hunting. 40gm of primaloft is perfect for layering, I usually run it with a light thermal type piece underneath and it’s perfect down into the 40s. They claim it’s wind and water resistant, I can tell you it is wind resistant for sure, haven’t tried it in rain yet. First thing I did was remove the hood cinches as they were pissing me off and I don’t need to cinch it down that tight anyhow.
 
Here’s another hoody for your consideration:

It does repel light water and it’s also fairly wind resistant. I paired it with the above anorak today in 30 degree blowing snow here in VA and I was dry and warm. It’s not super thick but it’s very densely woven material with the repellant coating which helps retain heat.

So I wish I had found this long ago. The grey part is windproof and the entire piece has 80g of thinsulate insulation. The sleeves have a cool feature where the last inch or so a flexible neoprene type material which hugs your wrists and which I assume is meant to get wet when reaching into fishing holes but works well also for those of us with long arms. It layers well, the sleeves allow for a lighter layer but not too bulky. A vest fits perfect underneath. I’m contemplating removing the red stitching, haven’t decided yet.

I love wearing a warm hoodie in my saddle. It keeps me warm. I feel like a squirrel in my saddle nest. Lol
 
FL is now pricing their stuff just below sitka so they can tout they are cheaper. They lag in innovation so I guess they can’t charge as much lol.

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 emailed FL earlier this year suggesting a vest with a hoodie they said they would run it up their flag pole. I mostly need my core kept warm and less bulk in my arms etc so I wear a vest over layers but vests don’t offer head warmth

There are options.

Buy a hoodie or hooded jacket and cut the arms off. :)

Order a vest from day one camo and get a button-on hood.
