Ultra-Compact Zip-Up Travel Hoodie

6 votes

Concept: Very lightweight hoodie with zipper, specifically designed for fair weather travel. Made to provide an extra layer on top of t-shirts, henleys, and button-ups, but remains ultra-compact to take up minimal packing space.

My fav travel hoodie from another company is no longer available. Pretty sure this one is in the 160gsm range. They've replaced with a 250gsm model, similar to the W&P hoodies which are 235gsm. I've been looking for a similar one in another color but haven't found one yet.

To be clear, the ultra compact hoodie is not to designed for winter or colder weather travel. However, I find it to be a VERY common travel scenario that I just need an extra long sleeve "t-shirt like" layer for those cool mornings or evenings during Spring, Summer, and Fall. Zip-up hoodies are a versatile and fashionable style for a 2nd layer.

Preferable colors are Black, Light Grey, and Navy.

I'd stick with a pull over. Zippers are heavy and interfere with packability. Buttons cause their own problems on naps when flying or taking a train. Thin, with slightly structured pockets (to minimize the sag they tend to display). More athletic fit (stopping at waist and not so baggy) anorak than hoodie.

I would still like a zipper. Lightweight ones can be found.
