Mens Snowboard Hoodies

Is a hoodie a mid-layer or just a hoodie?

It can be either, and knowing which you are buying matters. A technical fleece or grid-fleece hoodie is a genuine mid-layer — it traps warmth, breathes, and moves moisture toward your shell, so it works as the middle of your layering system on the hill. A heavyweight cotton hoodie is a lifestyle piece: great for the lodge, the drive and everyday, but cotton holds moisture and chills you if you sweat in it under a shell.

If you want one hoodie to ride in, choose a technical fleece. If you want one for après and everyday, the cotton styles are the move.

How does a mid-layer hoodie fit into layering?

Three layers, simply: a base layer against the skin to wick, a mid-layer to trap warmth, and a shell to block wind and snow. A fleece hoodie is a flexible mid-layer because you can wear it under your jacket on cold days and on its own on spring afternoons.

For the full system, see our layering guide. The short version: layers you can add and drop beat one big warm jacket every time.

How should a men's snow hoodie fit?

Depends on the job. A mid-layer hoodie should be slim enough to sit comfortably under your jacket without bunching, so do not size up. A lifestyle hoodie is a preference call — relaxed and oversized is the current lean, so check the cut, since some run big on purpose.

Can you wear these off the mountain?

That is half the point. Snow-brand hoodies are built to live in the culture, not just on the hill, so they wear as well in the city as anywhere. It is the crossover piece you get the most days out of, which is why buying one you actually like is worth it.
