The Perfect Weather-Resistant Mid-Layer for Moving Fast in the Alpine
Outdoor Research says:
The SuperStrand XT Hoodie rugged and warmer version of our best-selling SuperStrand LT Collection, designed for lightweight warmth and insulation in cold, variable conditions—perfect for alpine climbs, backcountry tours, or brisk trail days.
Engineered with advanced VerticalX™ ECO and SuperStrand™ insulation, this technical hoodie offers exceptional warmth-to-weight performance, staying breathable and functional during high-output activities. The torso features 15% more insulation than the LT Hoodie for added core warmth, while the Pertex Quantum NetPlus® shell—crafted from recycled fishing nets—delivers windproof, water-resistant protection. Thoughtful design details, like an insulated hood with a brim, a drawcord-adjustable hem, and zippered hand and chest pockets, ensure a secure fit and easy access to essentials. Plus, the left-hand pocket doubles as a stuff sack for easy packing.
Whether layering up for a cold day at the resort or gearing up for an extended adventure, the SuperStrand XT Hoodie combines technical performance with lightweight warmth, so you can keep moving forward, no matter the conditions.
