The RockRider Hoodie is designed specifically for climbing on rock. From clipping bolts on a "sending temps" kind of day, to placing cams high in the alpine, the RockRider keeps you comfortable and ready to move. In the design phase, we really focused on a few core design elements that we wanted in a climbing jacket. First off, the grid fleece fabric is one of our favorite materials, with a great combination of comfort, warmth, and breathability. Its a go to layer choice for whenever we head to the crag. We also wanted a jacket that was fit specially for climbing movement, too many times we had reached up for a hold, only to get a cold breeze on our lower back or wrists. That is why the RockRider jacket was designed with sleeves that are meant to move above the head, without impeding movement at all. The last option we needed was a hood fit for wearing under a helmet. You know when it gets windy at a hanging belay or repel, a well fitting hood is your last line of defense against the cold on your face, thats why all versions of the RockRider hoodie come with the stretch under helmet hood, to keep you warm when you need it most.
