LightHeart Gear Men's Microgrid Fleece Hoody

[Manager's Comments]

Introducing the Micro Grid Fleece Hoody from LightHeart Gear, based in North Carolina. From a wide variety of colors, we chose a cute two-tone design! While active insulation like Octa and Alpha are trending, classic fleeces like this offer an overwhelming advantage in terms of stretchiness and durability.

This lightweight fleece can be used all year round: for tenting, hut stays, or as a warm layer for camping in high altitudes during summer, and as a mid-layer even in winter. The turtleneck-style hood has a drawcord that, when tightened, enhances warmth around the neck, and when worn, can be used like a balaclava.

Furthermore, it features raglan sleeves (sleeves with seams extending from the collar to the armpit), common in sportswear, making it easy to move your shoulders and arms, and a big plus is that you don't have to worry about shoulder width.

Sizing: 170cm, 65kg, Male, wearing size S

I chose a completely US size. Since the sleeves and hem are long, I recommend going down one size from your usual Japanese size!

Although I initially wrote that when it first arrived, I now think wearing an M size for a slightly relaxed fit is also a good option.

The sleeves will be a bit long though...
