Variant Hoody Reviewed by Luanne Freer

LOVE. It's the perfect new addition to my backcountry kit. When weather is milder, a great outer piece, when the wind kicks up the insulation protects just where you need it, allowing heat to escape in the back. And the hood is a terrific upgrade to the variant this year - when you forget your hat, your ears get covered and warm with no fuss. Arms long enough for the tall and active, with thumb loops for easy layering...what's not to love?
