Expedition Grid Fleece Hoodie (Unisex)

Dec 26, 2025

Warm

It's thin but very warm!
I wanted a little more room, so I ordered a larger size, but it was just right and not too big!

It's comfortable!

For the slightly chilly periods or when starting a mountain climb in the early morning before the body warms up, it is comfortable as it has 'appropriate warmth and breathability' as stated in the product description. I layer this item over a dry base layer, and wear an outer shell on top. When my body starts warming up and I get slightly sweaty, taking off the outer shell for a short break quickly releases moisture and dampness from inside, and since it doesn't stick, it prevents chills from sweat.

Under snowboard wear

I always wear it under my snowboard gear. It's convenient since I don't have to carry a balaclava.

Size feel

I usually wear a size M, but it fit quite tightly. I went with XL, two sizes up.

XXL was too big

I was looking for a larger size for winter sports innerwear, but the XXL was a bit bulky around the neck.

Exquisite temperature feel

It's exceptionally warm for its light weight. It breathes well and dries quickly.

Warmer than expected

Though it's thin, it's warm.
The balaclava-style hood is very easy to use compared to a regular balaclava, as it can be opened and closed with a zipper.
I wish they would switch the position of the expedition dry dot and the chest pocket.

Terrygawa in severe winter

Based on the Expedition Dry Zip High (WM), layering on top increased the fit and warmth. The hood was just right as a balaclava since I was wearing a helmet.

Worn in snow mountains

I ordered the wrong size and it was a bit small, but considering layering, I decided not to return it and wore it as is. The hood worked well as a balaclava in strong winds.

Amazing insulation. Warm.

I wore it during fall and early winter hiking. First of all, I felt no stress while wearing it at all. It's thin yet warm. I want to wear it during my daily life in winter too. The fabric stretches and fits my body, keeping my body heat, I feel as though it retains my temperature. I feel like it performs even better as the temperature drops due to sudden weather changes during hiking. I'm planning to buy a different color next season.

It's warm

I run wearing a climbing light jacket at around 6 degrees Celsius, and it hides my face so I'm not cold and feel comfortable even in strong winds. The size was just right too.

For skiing

I haven't used it yet, but I debated between this and the curl side grid hoodie. I decided to purchase this one because it's a zipper type, so I can adjust the zipper when it gets hot.

Sweat release and insulation

I purchased it for winter climbing and running.
It's my first time using Octa material, but it feels good on the skin, and I bought it expecting good warmth and moisture-wicking properties for winter.

For a gift

I also have the same item and found it very useful for winter running, so I gifted it.
I'm 176 cm and 76 kg, and it seemed a bit big with length around the waist.
For sports scenarios, an L size would have been better.

Just the right fleece for someone who gets hot easily

I was looking for something not too hot for severe winter snow mountains and easy to dry even if I sweat, so I tried it. I didn't sweat too much even when making large movements like Russell. The layering was dry layer + base layer + fleece.

The zipper rubs against my neck and feels uncomfortable

The warmth and breathability of the grid fleece fabric are excellent.
However, when the zipper is fully closed, it hits my neck and feels uncomfortable.

Lightweight and warm, suitable for both town and outdoor.

I previously bought an orange one without a zipper and found it very handy. This one can be opened and closed with a zipper in hot weather, and it kept me warm even in snowy regions when layered. It's lightweight, which was also a plus for travel. I want to get another color as well.

For climbing

Thin but warm. The silhouette is also slim, making it perfect as an inner layer.

The design is just so cool

It's an incredibly stylish fleece. I really like it. The neck is high, making it look more dressed up and mature. It can be used as a balaclava during snowstorms, so it seems it will be very useful as an inner layer for my insulated jacket this winter. It's also great to wear it as an outer layer in late autumn when going out.

Stylish and functional

I bought this as a gift for my younger brother who is into motorcycles. It's thin, so I thought it would be nice if he could wear it as an inner layer. I haven't heard his thoughts yet since I haven't handed it to him, so I gave it 4 stars.

Good

It's good for moving around in cold weather since it doesn't get cold from slight sweat. It has a moderate fit that makes it easy to move, and it doesn't let much wind in from the gaps.

The best!

An absolute must-have item for winter backcountry! I haven't used this item to ski yet this season, but it's definitely going to be a regular!

For snow mountain climbing

I'm using it in severe winter snowy mountains. I also have a size M, but when it became one layer, it was quite tight and showed the body's line, so I went with size L. It seems to be quite long for insulation purposes, which is a bit... It looks good even when I take off the hard shell due to being hot and just wear one layer (I'm 160 cm tall and weigh 46 kg). I would be happy if it were a bit shorter or if the piping were in a color similar to the main fabric instead of black, made for women. Why are there so many black or bright colors for climbing tops?

No complaints!

It has become my best under layer! I have tried various unders for many years, but this one is the best. The thumb hole construction is solid, so it can also be used as a watch window.
