Thanks to beyond the Trailhead Gear, I now have an incredibly lightweight and warm hoodie for all my outdoor adventures. The quality is amazing, I can’t recommend this small cottage company more!

Very well made and fits my long arms.
The elastic isn't super heavy which is good for this lightweight shirt, though it is still heavier than the (very light) fleece fabric.

Super well made! I like the snap closure hood, it works great on cooler days. Just took it on a week long hiking trip and it worked great as an active layer and kept me warm at night. The fit is good too

I received a custom sown Alpha 120 black crew from Justin a few months ago. I just ordered another one in Tundra Green. I am a male at 5'10" with athletic build and the medium size fits perfectly. There is plenty of room to add a thermal base layer and the fit is trim, but not snug. It is so lightweight that you almost forget you are wearing it. I wear the crew every day when I walk the dogs in the morning. At 20-30 degrees, all I need is a base layer and a wind shell to stay warm. In colder weather, I just add a layer. The quality of the crew's design and construction is top quality. The added stretch fabric at the neck and cuffs allows the crew to be easily pulled on and off without squeezing the head. The appearance is very nice and I have received compliments about the cut from friends and family. This crew looks and feels like a sweater, not a sweatshirt. I guess since this is my second one, I obviously like everything about it. Thanks again Justin, another great addition to BTT gear!

Fits my girlfriend well. Quality garment.

Recently wore my rip-back 90 hoodie on a long hike in the Catskills on a chilly December day. Hoodie was very comfortable, very breathable, and VERY warm! Was unbelievably impressed with the performance and how well it kept me warm all morning. Highly recommended!!

This hoodie is just great. Alpha direct 120 fabric is light and packable. The cut was excellent. I'm either a M or L size, depending on the product. I got the large, and it was the right choice. Not too tight, but comfortable with an outer layer over it. The build quality is great. I wasn't sure about the design of the hood closure, but once I put it on, it all made sense. The bottom of the hood is not too tight, but small enough to keep torso heat from escaping around the neck. I have long arms, and the sleeves are sufficiently long. Overall, I couldn't be happier with the product. It took some time to receive after purchase, but it was worth the wait.

Love this hoodie. Looks great, super comfy. Fantastic garmit with outstanding customer service. Thanks BTT!!!

In my opinion, this is a great Hoodie. Lightweight alpha direct material keeps me warm. Wear it over a merino baselayer. Love the royal blue color too!!

Love this hoodie and it's versatility at 90 gsm. Very well made piece. I would buy again.

The Hoodie is a great addition to my backpacking layers. It’s very comfortable and a great fit. Love the drawstring at the base to keep the cold air out.

Great product and looking forward to using it this winter on my backpacking trips.

Just received my custom alpha direct hoodie. 120 for the core and hood, 90 for sleeves and kangaroo pocket. Size medium with 1 inch extra in length. Justin was phenelominal to work with. I highly recommend beyond the trail gear!

So happy with my new hoodie and can't wait to take it backpacking. I save 7 ounces over my regular fleece! Clearly quality construction and appropriate sizing. Hopefully I can add to my review after I use it in the field; I may even take it snow camping.

I didn't know anything about Polartec Alpha before I received the hoodie on my birthday, but how I wish I would've found it earlier. The hoodie is so warm and comfortable. The best active insulation I own. The fit is perfect- I am a male at 5'8" with average body size and the small fits as expected, slim fit and snug, but not too tight. With a single base layer underneath and a wind shell over the top, I stay warm in any weather. Although style and color is not as important as warm and functionality, I have had numerous people comment on the look and ask me where I got it. It is really nice looking for performance wear, which I guess is why you can wear it beyond the trailhead. I can't wait until my next birthday...hint...hint
