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
Thank you for the great review! We’re so glad to hear the hoodie performed well on your hiking trip and that you’re enjoying the snap closure hood. It’s awesome to know it worked as both an active layer and for warmth at night. We appreciate your support—happy trails! – The BTT Team
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!
Thank you so much for your thoughtful and detailed review! We’re thrilled to hear how much you love your custom Alpha 120 Crew and that it’s become a daily go-to for you. It’s awesome to know the fit, warmth, and design are hitting the mark, and we’re especially glad the added stretch fabric makes it so comfortable to wear. Your kind words mean a lot, and we truly appreciate your continued support with your second crew and all the hoodies!

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.
Thank you for the detailed review! We’re so glad to hear the Alpha Direct Rip-Back Hoodie is working perfectly as a mid-layer for you. It’s great to know the fit and design details, like the hood closure and sleeve length, are meeting your needs.
