A hoodie with more than you bargained for. Next level hoodies are here. If you think you don’t need a hoodie with two front pouch pockets, think again. If you think you don’t need a hoodie with eco DWR coating, think again. The Stack is a long fit, quick dry, wicking hoodie with our eco DWR coating with that little something extra you've been looking for. If you're gonna rock a hoodie all winter you might as well stay dry. Go ahead, leave your jacket in the closet and roll with the Stack.

Bought this hoodie with the intention of wearing it as a top layer on warmer days. Best decision I've ever made. This hoodie has the perfect baggy and tall fit that I've been looking for.
Warmth: Very warm for a hoodie. The fleece blend makes it a lot warmer than your average hoodie. Its got some nice weight to it compared to other "riding hoodies".
Waterproofing: Obviously this hoodie won't be waterproof. With that being said the DWR coating on this was much more effective than the one on my Saga hoodie. I know this can vary a lot from piece to piece, but still.
Fit: The hoodie fits like a dream. Perfect tall to baggy ratio to make you look like B-dog and ski like him too! I got 2XL and its just the right length without being way too wide.
Durability: So far this hoodie has been very durable and is clearly made of high quality materials. My only complaint is the pilling on the cuffs, but this is to be expected of any hoodie, especially when being worn over gloves.
Overall: I'd rate this badboy a solid 9/10. Very warm, durable, and surprisingly water resistant hoodie that gets the job done.
This winter I was in the market for my first ever tall hoodie. I needed something heavy enough to act as my main layer over top of an insulator, but light enough so that I wouldn't cook riding taking hot laps at the local rope park. The Stack looked like a fitting option, the durable water repellent (DWR) coating being the big selling point.
For myself I picked up a size L in black. I'm a smaller guy at 5'10" 140lbs and I wanted the option of using the Stack as a midlayer for my coat on cold days, so much bigger and I think it would have been hanging way below my coat. Standalone the fit is halfway down my thighs, and the overall body of it is nice and baggy even with an insulator underneath.
I've had quite a good chance to test the durability of the Stack as there is no place less forgiving than the rope park. My hoodie is very much intact still with no threads fraying or any torn material. However I have encountered some balling up of the fabric where the rope clings to my hip and waist on the way up the hill. The fabric in this area doesn't seem considerably thinner after half a season on the rope though, so I don't think my Stack will be falling apart any time soon.
The breathability and warmth of this hoodie is quite solid when paired with a good insulator underneath. In your average -15C prairie temperatures I've never felt uncomfortable with that kind of setup. I've also rode with just the stack on some slushy spring days and have never been soaked from sweat or bailing into the snow.
Style wise I wish all of colours carried the big box Orage logo but that's hardly the end of the world. I wasn't a fan of the double pocket at first to, but it's actually quite handy for stashing mitts going to and from the car, all while setting itself apart from all of the other tall hoodies.
I have really loved this as a base layer. Comfortable and looks awesome without being too bulky. I even wear it on warmer days as a outer layer
Ratings:This hoodie is amazing. I've owned it for nearly a year now, and it is without fail one of the best hoodies I have ever used.
It fits really nice. It has a great baggy style, with two front pouches that are the perfect height to put your hands into. The material inside the pockets is really nice as well.
Overall, the material on the hoodie is really good. It wicks away moisture really well, and will keep you about as dry as a hoodie possibly could without becoming a proper jacket. The material is also fairly thin compared to some other hoodies I have worn, although quality is definitely not compromised.
The design on the front is really fresh, and the hoodie looks really steezy overall.
Finally, this hoodie is incredibly comfortable. The material is soft and doesn't get worn out after repeated washes, which is a plus. Also it did not noticeably shrink after washing, so that is also a plus.
If you're in the business for a great, warm and steezy hoodie, this is one of the best I have ever used! I would definitely recommend it to a friend.
This hoodie is really great! It is warm and comfy. I enjoy the fit greatly it is long and slim. The material is nice in the way it is not cotton but a good material for skiing in without soaking up too much water. I use as an insulative midlayer all the time. I am 5'8" and wear the size large and it comes down to about mid thigh. So far the durability has been on point. I have skied in it for about 25 days both skiing all mountain trees and park and it has no blemishes. I definately would recomend it.
