Men's Kodiak Heavyweight Brushed Merino Wool Hoodie
Much like the coat on the Kodiak bear, this hoodie is built to take on the cold. Made from heavyweight 400 GSM brushed merino wool, it's the warmest layer in the lineup—soft, lofty, and ready for Alaska's wicked winter days. The drawstring hood fits over a helmet, thumbholes keep your hands covered, and three pockets give you space for cold hands or quick-grab essentials. From the crab boats off the Alaskan coast to a brisk fall walk, this is the hoodie you'll reach for when you refuse to be cold.
Why You'll Love This Hoodie:
The brushed interior creates a lofty, fleece-like feel that traps warmth without synthetic bulk. At 1 lb 14 oz (size L), this is substantial cold-weather armor that performs when temperatures plummet. The full-length YKK zipper with pull extension makes it easy to operate with gloves, while the zipper garage protects your chin from cold metal. Two kangaroo hand pockets warm your fingers, and the interior chest pocket secures valuables. Ribbed cuffs and reinforced hem lock in heat while the flatlock seams prevent chafing during all-day wear. Tagless label eliminates neck irritation, and UPF 50+ provides sun protection during high-altitude adventures.
Why Merino Wool?
The 95% Australian merino with 5% spandex blend delivers natural temperature regulation with added stretch for movement. Merino's legendary odor resistance means you can wear this hoodie day after day without washing, and moisture-wicking keeps you dry even during high-output activities. Unlike synthetic fleece that traps odors and melts near flames, merino stays fresh and is naturally fire-resistant—important when you're working around the woodstove or campfire.

Regular fit with room to layer underneath. Size up if you prefer a looser fit. Hood designed to fit over a helmet for skiing, biking, or climbing.
