"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I live in the Crescent Fleece Hoodie all winter—whether I’m layering it under a shell or wearing it solo at camp, it’s super warm, breathable, and stretchy. The merino blend keeps it from getting clammy, even after a long hike."" When frosty mornings greet us at the trailhead or cool evenings settle in around the fire, the Outdoor Research Crescent Fleece Full-Zip Hoodie is the layer we reach for. Crafted with a blend of merino wool, recycled polyester, and spandex, this midlayer offers a perfect trifecta of warmth, breathability, and stretch for high-comfort performance in the cold. The soft fleece interior traps heat while pulling moisture away from the body, keeping us dry and cozy during stop-and-go activity. Full-zip versatility lets us regulate temperature easily, and the hood adds extra coverage when the wind picks up. Whether worn on its own or layered under a shell, the Crescent is a go-to for crisp hikes, camp lounging, and shoulder-season layering."
