We’ve been a bit sport this Monday. You can blame the warm weather which sending us out onto the trails and bicycle for a blast of fresh air. To do either properly, you need comfortable technical gear that is functional. More importantly, it has to look great on. Nau’s Palm Pullover hoodie above is one of those strong tops that does both. The “featherweight” fabric on the Palm Pullover is cut to form and feels great on. Like all Nau products the fabric is made from 100% recycled polyester. The asymmetrical zipper is an added touch that helps cinch down the hoodie. Well proper for both casual and sport wear.

Just released, the T.A.D.’s latest re-work of their Stealth soft shell outer. The new Stealth LT Hoodie has been overhauled using Swiss made Schoeller textile for further weather resistance, breathability, and durability.” We of course love highly technical gear especially those pieces that are all-season. The Stealth Lt looks to be one of those which can be used in “humid climate zone to winter conditions.” A couple of colors to choose on this one.

It can be difficult to pivot yourself away from old habits in design. Dunning, known for their golf wear of the past has re-worked their styling and fits for a more modern “athletic” man. Their “stretch thermal hoodie” is a great example of this. “Designed to be an athlete’s go-to piece after long training sessions, this technical, two-pocket hoodie is made from a blend of polyester and spandex. The matte weave shell knitting process blocks wind while remaining highly breathable and offers permanent moisture management. Adjustable drawstring waist and full length camlock zipper.”

France’s Production Artisanale gets some domestic love over on Opening Ceremony. Their “13″ patchwork zipper hoodie is a great piece coming in just around $350. It is a commitment piece of course but one that will give you years of wear.  The suede leather front patches give it some contrast.
