Change is in the air. The rich colours of grass and earth are intensified by Mother Nature’s filter of mellow light from a sun almost warm enough for spring. The crisp autumn air seems to be the perfect muse to the restless spirit. It’s the perfect time to fall in love with fleece all over again, and the Terrex Stockhorn Fleece Hoodie from adidas Outdoor is your sultry temptress.
On Performance and Design…
The traditional conundrum of cool-weather endeavours is that often times, apparel designed for the cold bulks you up and weighs you down when your primary objective is to stay light, nimble and agile. All of those loose, bulky insulation layers just get in the way whether you’re climbing, fastpacking or slashing down the mountain.
But the adidas Outdoor® Terrex Stockhorn Fleece Hoodie (available for both men and women) is a technical piece that will keep you layered up without bulking up and restricting your movement. Made with a combination of Pontetorto tecnostretch and 100% polyester fleece lining, the Stockhorn is warm, lightweight and follows the body’s natural movement.
The smart kids at adidas incorporated Cocona fabric technology which uses activated carbon from recycled coconut shells for moisture-releasing cooling and odor resistance. In other words, the fleece dries quickly, and breathes so you can hike and explore in comfort. Thumb loops prevent the sleeves from riding up which helps eliminate those cold and drafty gaps that wreck your focus as your traversing that windy ridgeline on the way to the summit.
Wear it alone for days at the cabin or high-intensity training; layer it under a shell in colder temps. Wherever you wear the Stockhorn Fleece you’ll be rewarded with the soft cozy interior that’s buttery smooth against the skin while offering impressive warmth.
Notes from the Field…
adidas Outdoor made sure that there’s plenty of reasons to love the Terrex Stockhorn Fleece Hoodie. From cool mornings in the Valley, to windy days on the Summit, the texture, comfort and performance levels were literally off the charts.
But the Stockhorn Fleece offers more than that. From the moment you slip on this jacket you’ll remember why you love fleece. Yes, you’ll appreciate this hoodie for the way it performs, but you’ll absolutely love the way it feels.
Bottom Line…
Wandering isolated trails. Stalking snow dusted high peaks. Kicking it at the cabin. Wherever you go and whatever you do, all you need to know is that you’ll love the Terrex Stockhorn Fleece Hoodie from adidas Outdoor.
