The Traverse Cold Weather Hoody is a technical insulator for mid to late season hunts. A hoody layer, such as the Traverse Cold Weather Hoody, is critical for regulating your temperature. During periods of low exertion, the hoody is your insulating mid layer, and a high-loft Berber fleece interior traps body heat longer. When output increases, take off your outer shell and it works great as a quiet outer layer.
