Riding Hoodies?

Anybody rock riding hoodies instead of a jacket? I'm considering getting one this season and I'm wondering if they're actually as waterproof/windproof as companies say they are. Which ones do you guys like/recommend?

I have a Saga riding hoodie but it doesn't seem perfectly windproof. I can fit another hoodie under it tho so I would probably wear it down to like 10-15 degrees fahrenheit, any lower than that and I will probably wear a coat.

I have a saga riding hoodie and it works pretty great to about 15-20 for me. If you are looking for a primary piece for all conditions id go for a shell. The riding hoodies don't do much against strong winds but are great for sunny days. As far as waterproof I've had no issues. For riding hoodies, think casual ski days.

here's what you do:

go to marshalls/TJ Maxx/Ross/ any discount retail store
buy yourself a cheaper Under Amour hoodie thats like 3XL
put on a tall tee on top of that
You have a warm, decently windproof, decently water proof hoodie. bam!

Thats actually a really good idea.. Ill probably also throw on some windproof underlayer for good measure.

I have a jacket for cold days below 10F. I just bought the ORage stacks which is sick. But like people before me have said the same thing. Usually i wear thermal long sleve, tshirt, another long sleeve, this thermo insulated puff jacket and then the Orage Stacks hoodie. I went to snow last weekend and i thought i was going to freeze but i was warm as hell.

Or i heard the saga hoodie is pretty decent when it comes to waterproof.

Try the stack or the way i have done it. Your warm without wearing the 30 layers everyone has on the mountain.

Was thinking about that hoodie. All the photos I've seen make it look really tall but really skinny. Is that how it fits or is it just case of Orage makin their clothing photos look wack (all their pants, and B-Dog jacket look so weird in the photos but sick on someone, imo)?

They are certainly very waterproof, at first. When I first got my Armada and my Saga riding hoodies i tested their water proof ability by putting them under a small steady stream of water from my sink and the woate just rolled off. I noticed, however, that it it's raining very hard then the riding hoodie won't quite protect you(I learned this the hard way) also the hoodies seem to be not as windproof as they are advertised.The hoodies protect you on a normal, not so windy, not raining or snowing day. Also the hoodie is water roof enough to protect you from those falls that you take sometimes.

Here's my simple policy:

35 degrees or hotter - riding hoodie weather (with t shirt and long sleeved underneath).

Anything near freezing or colder - 3L tech shell with light base layer or mid layer (down) for cold days.

Yea go for it is awesome. I dont know what you were thinking but i bough the XXLT and im 6 feet. This thing is huge on me. If your looking for the baggy look then i recommend it. Surprisingly for being so baggy i have no response problems like i thought i was going to have.

The Stack is definitely long and skinny as it's meant to be a riding hoodie. When I'm skiing I wear a Large Stack with a Large B-Dog, and it's absolutely perfect.

Our two other hoodies (Format and Champlain) have the same tech specs, but are much shorter and are meant to be worn as lifestyle pieces. They still make great riding hoodies, but if you like a longer more relaxed fit, the Stack is the best bet.

Let me know if you want me to take photos for reference! I'm about 5'10 and like my stuff a little baggy, and I wear a Large across the whole collection.

OP you are completely retarted. If you ditch a jacket for a hoodie you can freeze to death for your stupidity. Get a good hard shell jacket for the shit weather and cold days and have a hoodie for when it's above freezing.

This is so cringeworthy

Damn thanks for the stellar advice dude. I was seriously considering throwing away all my winter jackets but now that you've opened my mind I see the error of my ways. I've seen plenty of people ski all day in hoodies in Ontario anyways. But you're right Im probably "retarted"..

I have the Sweet Protection Streetfighter Jacket, pretty much a hoodie with WINDSTOPPER tech, have never had any problems of being too cold, usually too warm. I also have 3XL or 5XL hoodies for spring skiing.

Get a crew neck and a riding hoodie, wear the crew under the shitty thin (but great looking) riding hoodie. And you're set for 10+ degrees.

Ye I figure the steeze to cold ratio is worth it. Hopefully It'll help me stomp a tweaked mute or two without double ejecting all over the place..
