Product description

Source not recorded.

Designed to be more than just another base layer, the Core Lightweight Hoodie is the foundation that all our SITKA systems are built from. High-performance polyester construction moves moisture through periods of high aerobic activity while drying quickly during low periods spent sitting, glassing or calling.
