Was skeptical at first, but this hoodie handled a full day in Utah’s canyons without overheating. Easily one of the best lightweight hoodies for hiking I’ve tried.

It’s breathable, durable, and the adjustable cuffs are a subtle detail I didn’t know I needed. Felt like true hiking apparel built for real movement.

I read several reviews for the Stio Vescent hoodie before buying—glad I did. It’s not just stylish, it performs exactly as described.
