"What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying: ""I like using this hood on storm days when I need extra coverage beyond my jacket collar. The sherpa fleece is cozy, the merino mouth flap keeps things breathable, and it even fits comfortably under a helmet. It’s one of those small pieces that makes a big difference when the weather turns."" We throw on the 686 Tarmac Sherpa Hood when the mountains demand extra warmth and protection. Made from plush polyester sherpa fleece, it delivers cozy insulation while still offering stretch for mobility. The helmet-compatible design means it fits easily under our go-to snow lid, keeping us covered without compromise. For stormy laps or chilly lift rides, the merino wool blend mouth flap adds breathable coverage that wicks moisture and resists odors. Backed by Hyprotecht® by HEIQ®, it provides added protection when we’re exposed to the elements. And with UPF 50+ sun defense, this versatile hood isn’t just for midwinter—it’s a year-round layer we can count on for warmth, coverage, and comfort."
