Didn't realize to do a verified review I had to do it through the account :)
Awesome fleece and great color!
Perfect fit and I love the color! Can't wait for more options to come in stock
Loved this thing since I first wore it. Perfect as a stand alone hoodie and fits within layering systems seamlessly for when the mercury drops. Quality craftsmanship, ran true to size without being boxy or baggy and the large Kangaroo pocket was totally worth adding. So when the wood pile is getting low and it’s colder than your ex-wife’s heart outside, pull this thing on. Might even make you grunt a few Sasquatch sounds just for fun
I have to say these mitt's surpassed by expectations. I thought they would work well down to freezing temps and they have been great down to the teens. But today I decided to test the limits. I went on a hike wearing these with glove liners, and the conditions involved a -11 windchill. My hands were perfectly warm the entire time, nice and toasty not a little cold. I was blown away by how well they performed. Just buy them and thank me later.
Very well made hooded pullover. The material is incredible. It’s warm but when you walk, you can feel the air move through it. It’s very interesting.
I've had two pair. The first was an early batch, and they started to fall apart very quickly. I reached out and was instantly sent a new pair from the updated batch. The second pair are a night and day difference. Much more durable. I love how warm these are, especially for the weight. I've been using them during the recent winter storms, including an overnight campout in sub-freezing temps, and they've been great. The price is also very reasonable. I'd recommend them!
These gloves were everything I was looking for and more for a pair of ultralight backpacking gloves! I have used them on several trips now, and being able to keep my hands warm while also being able to quickly remove my fingers so that I have full dexterity is an absolute game changer. I've always hated trying to do tasks like working my stove, eating, or using my phone with gloves, and this eliminates the need to remove the glove completely. They are also incredibly light and surprisingly warm for how light they are. Within minutes, my hands are nice and toasty due to the premium fabric used. Surprisingly, they also feel durable, and I have not had any issues with using them while holding trekking poles. I had a question about the glove, and the owner, Justin, was super quick and was very helpful in his response. This is an amazing company and an amazing product that I would definitely buy again! 10/10
Delightfully soft and exceptionally warm on the interior from the alpha direct fabric. Well thought out design that even includes thumb holes to increase manual dexterity without have to remove the mitts. I’m very pleased with their performance in windy, cold and snowy weather. Give my highest recommendation for these mitts.
Ive been using my hoodie on daily training rucks using it on continuous hill ascents and descents , training hard for an upcoming hike and with a windbreaker, I'm nice and toasty even if my merino tshirt is soaked
I will absolutely be telling everyone I know about BTT!!! Whether you’re a trail runner, hiker or just someone looking for the mitt that truly keeps your mitts warm. I have been looking for years for a lightweight quality glove that actually works and I finally found it at BTT!!! The customer service is amazing and so appreciated!! Keep up the great work Justin and BTT!!!
Great gloves. The warmest ones I’ve ever used. I never thought my hands could sweat.
The fleece is great. It’s super breathable but still feels warm, especially under a windproof layer. The best part was how it could be customized to better fit me. The elastic cuffs, and hem work well, and I love the snap on neck gaiter built into the hood.
I’ve been wanting an Alpha pullover for a while, and finally placed an order. Justin was awesome and followed up to let me know my preferred color was in and he could send it right away! Clearly he cares about his products and customers.
I’ve only been out on a couple hikes in my new hoodie, but I can already tell I’m going to love it for years to come.
Great for layering. Well made
We've Just received our hoodies and we already love them, thanks Justin
it feels so good to wear and sizing is perfect, the hood and kangaroo pocket are all amazing additions
I choose burgundy and bright orange and my wife all grey and it turns out looking awesome
The materials are great, the craftsmanship is great as well. The thumb hole closes back up very well, which not all similar gloves achieve. My issue is that the seam line on the finger opening goes upward toward the pinky side, covering up the pinky more. During general wear, my pinky is constantly pushing up against junction of all the seams. The shape also tapers a bit, functionally pulling my pinky in. This makes it feel like my mitten is crooked or a bit sideways and makes my hand feel a bit cramped. This could be just how my hand is shaped, but it is significant and will stop me from reaching for these daily, which I thought was enough that I couldn't do 4 or 5 stars. If that's not an issue for you, these are fantastic and very high quality.
Thank you for the well designed gloves both 3 & 4 season. Both versatile. Best warmth as active layers. Layering for static warmth.
Finally had a chance to wear the Alpha Active crew. I've worn Alpha Direct extensively on several multi-day long distance hikes and it is my favorite fabric for cooler, wetter and strenuous endeavors,,, but hard to find. Was very excited to find Beyond the Trailhead Gear. This piece is well made and a joy to wear. Will definitely be buying more in the future. Very fortunate to have a company like this catering to our needs. Customer service awesome. The fit is perfect for me. Planning to use this as a next-to-skin layer. As a result it is closer fitting to serve this role. Sizing is always a challenge so for reference I am 5'9", 170# with 44" chest and 28" waist. The medium is a snug comfortable fit, perfect for a base layer. If you were going to use it as a sweater over a base layer, size up. Highly recommend this piece and this company.
I finally got out with my Rip-Back 190. Had to wait till after deer season. Being over 65, hiking in winter is challenging. Staying warm is tricky because l don’t hike fast. This layer is super warm with just a base layer and light wind breaker.
Zip up the wind breaker and nice and toasty, open the zipper and instant venting of excess heat. This piece is going to make my winter hikes much more enjoyable. My wife also loves the softness of the Alpha material. Please let me know when the active crew becomes available so I can surprise her with one. It is great to see hand made craftsmanship making a comeback. It definitely has an impact on my purchases. Excellent work!
Thanks again! Tom
Bought my third pair lol
Absolutely lov3 these!
Great fit. This is an excellent mid layer for where under a coat on extremely cold days. I was outside last weekend in 0° temperatures for several hours and never felt cold.
Great fit and function on the Rip Back Hoodie 90. It works well as a mid layer for cold winter rides. Excellent value! I’ll be looking at other products from BTTB.
