Bristen Thermal Hoody Men's (2025)

The wind protection on this is no joke—stood on a freezing ridge for over an hour and barely felt a chill. The fleece lining is soft against my neck, and it moves well when I’m reaching for holds. Exactly what I needed for cold-weather climbing.

Took this up a 4000m peak last weekend and the wind resistance was impressive—it cut the chill completely during exposed sections. The fleece lining stayed comfortable against my skin even when I worked up a sweat climbing.

Three days of wet, gusty ridge walking and I barely felt the wind through the chest panel—the abrasion resistance is a real plus when you’re scraping past rocks. Body heat stayed put even during slow, cold descents, so I’m genuinely impressed with how well it holds warmth.
