Bristen Thermal Hoody Women's (2025)

Took this on a windy ridge hike last weekend and the wind protection was noticeably better than my old fleece. The abrasion-resistant fabric handled a few scrambles without any snags or pilling.

I’ve worn this on a few windy ridge hikes and the wind-resistant fabric made a real difference. It’s warm without being too bulky, though the zipper can be a bit stiff at first. Fit is true to size for layering.

The fleece lining is really warm without being bulky, which is perfect for climbing. I only wish the hood were a bit more adjustable to cinch tight in strong wind, but otherwise it blocks the chill well.
