The La Sportiva Cosmic Thermal Hooded Jacket is built on Pontetorto(R) Tecnostretch, a knit that puts a smooth, technical face on the outside and a heat-retaining brushed layer against the skin, with stretch fiber running between the two. That construction carries a hiker through a long approach and keeps working once the terrain turns into an actual climb, without a layer swap in between. An elastic hood, cuffs, and hem lock the fit down through all of it, and a Polygiene treatment keeps the hoody feeling fresh no matter how long the day runs. What Our Gearhead(R) Experts Are Saying:"I hiked in for over an hour, roped up, and never once wished I'd brought a different layer for the approach versus the climb. One hoody covering both halves of the day is one less decision to make at the trailhead."
