The Silens Fleece Hoodie can be worn as an outer layer in moderate temperatures or as a layering option in especially frigid conditions. To make it a more effective layer, we designed it with less bulk than the Silens Jacket, yet just as quiet. We have a lot of mottos here at Badlands but one of the more important ones is "don&';t leave home without a dependable hoodie." Another good one to remember is "don&';t spit into the wind."
