A dependable softshell for changeable conditions, with excellent breathability and movement that keeps pace on the trail.
Outdoor Research says:
The Ferrosi Hoodie is a classic lightweight soft shell, featuring stretchy, durable, soft shell fabric and functional features, perfect for rock climbing and alpine adventure.
Our Verdict
The updated Outdoor Research Ferrosi Hoodie remains a solid midlayer for fast-paced, cooler weather trips. At 373g in medium, it's light enough to stash when the weather clears, but the new all-over Ferrosi fabric adds durability without needing overlays. It sheds wind well and offers enough resistance to light rain to buy time before reaching for a shell. The mechanical stretch is one of its standout features—great for climbing. The fit is trim but not restrictive, and features like the stowable hood and stretch cuffs give it a considered finish that strikes the right balance between function and simplicity.
