LEVE Alpha 120 Hoody

I live in the PNW and I've always struggled to find a layer that's light, breathable, and warm. This hoodie genuinely solves all 3 of those problems at once. I'm 5'11 and 150 lbs. and this hoodie fits really nice in a small, although would recommend a medium for a larger fit.

Lightweight and warm!

I have heard the hype for a long time about alpha direct, and figured it was about time I tried it out myself. I figured it really wasn’t more expensive than a nice fleece so why not give it a try. I didn’t want it to hike with, I wanted it more for camp, so that is why I went with the 120 over the 90 and also wanted it more for colder temperatures like shoulder season and winter. I have had it out on maybe 6-7 trips and really like it. I am a warm person so with a wool base layer and the 120 with a wind jacket I can easily sit around camp around 30 and last week it was around 20, I had my base, 120, ghost whisperer and wind shirt and was comfortable. I am 5 foot 8 inches and 190 pounds, the large fits me pretty well. Athletic fit. I probably would get the extra large just to have a little extra room if I had to do it again. Mine weighs just under 7 ounces. My normal fleece that isn’t as warm, for cold temperatures weighs almost double. Mine is a really light blue. Didn’t really have a choice. When available you have to grab 1. They even sent a hand written card which is a nice touch. I am really happy with my purchase. Thanks LEVE.

I have used this fleece for winter backpacking trips on the AT. I wear a Capilene base layer and this fleece with a wind jacket to hike in the 20’s. Great wicking ability and keeps me comfortable on those hard climbs. I usually shed it in the high 40’s. You can’t beat the warmth to weight ratio. I strongly recommend this fleece.

This is the best layer I've worn for cold days and rigorous workouts. It lets the heat and moisture out but keeps the coolness from getting in. Works super well.
