What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:“I wear this hood under my helmet when ski touring or riding lifts—it’s soft, warm, and gives me better coverage than a traditional neck gaiter. I really dig that it’s made from upcycled Smartwool scraps too.”Smartwool’s Second Cut Fleece Hood brings intentional design and responsible performance into one versatile winter essential. Crafted from recycled polyester and repurposed Merino wool scraps, this hood is built to keep us warm during high-output adventures while supporting circular manufacturing principles. From icy skin tracks to blizzard-filled ridgelines, the double-layer fleece construction balances breathability, warmth, and moisture control. It’s built to fit comfortably under a helmet and features raised face protection and an adjustable bungee cord to lock in coverage. Whether you're chasing deep snow or braving arctic winds, this hood helps us stay out longer with comfort that performs and a design that matters.
