"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:""I've been wearing the Tista Full-Zip Hood Midlayer Top as my go-to layer on cold skate ski mornings when I need something that breathes well enough to keep up with hard efforts but warm enough to not feel exposed when I stop for a break. The attached hood tucks cleanly under a helmet and the full zip gives me precise ventilation control without having to stop and strip a layer.""Some layers ask you to choose between warmth and mobility. The Swix Tista Full-Zip Hood Midlayer Top doesn't make you pick. Built from a 220 GSM recycled micro fleece with enough stretch to move through a full skating stride or a steep switchback without resistance, it sits in the exact middle ground between a cozy insulating piece and a technical active layer. The 93% recycled polyester and 7% spandex construction breathes and manages moisture through high-output sessions while the full-zip front gives you ventilation control on the fly without committing to a full layer swap. The attached hood adds coverage when the temperature drops or the wind picks up, and flatlock seams keep everything smooth against the skin whether you're wearing it alone or locked under a shell. Swix built this for cross-country skiing, hiking, and the kind of cold-weather casual days where you want one piece doing the work of several."
