So in this spring weather, wearing a jacket is a bit too much so I just wear my base layer and a hoodie.. but my hoodie always gets wet so i end up changing at the end of the day..
are there hoodies that are water "resistant" or something that wont get as wet as regular hoodie?? What should I look for that make it water repellent and what not?
I dont know for sure but id say no. Maybe UA. You could get a gortex jacket or something. But hoodies are usually pretty simple polyester or cotton so i dont think theyd put waterproofing in that. Im probably wrong though and someone will post a link to some kinda waterproof hoodie haha.
I knew someone would know of a waterproof hoodie. I expected something weird looking but that sessions hoodie is really cool. That would be nice right now instead of opening the pitzips on my coat haha.
I have an Oakley hoodie with a water resistant coating, it's definitely not waterproof but I've never had a problem with it getting wet. It's what I wear anytime the temperature is above 30, solid black and looks like a regular hoodie.
theres PLENTY of water resistant/waterproof hoodies out there. just saw a sweet 686 hoodie at REI the other day. I would've gotten it but it was like a hundred bucks...I think their usually pretty expensive ha...
as others have stated ... what you are looking for is called a softshell .. basically a hoody thats water resistant .. the average runs about 80-100 bucks
DC makes a bunch, they have softshells which i have and they also have hoodies that feel and look like regular hoodies but are indeed waterproof. i love my soft shell because it has all of the features of a regular snowboard jacket including the pit zips, where as alot of softshells have about as many features as your standard hanes pullover.
I really like the Burton hoodies. Same with Sessions.
I saw a Burton hoodie at one of my local shops yesterday that was pullover style, without a zipper and had the standard pocket in front. I should have pulled the trigger on it but didn't.
as much as dislike burton boards, I agree their hoodies are nice. I got the "cymbal" and it's made of DryRide moisture wicking fabric. Very warm, very tech and the cut is really stylish
I just bought this jacket in black. It was perfect for last weekend's riding, but I'm not sure how it'll do in temps about 50 degrees. Airblaster Freedom 10K Pullover Jacket - Women's - GEAR.com
It's just a pullover shell, but it has armpit vents, a snow skirt, pass pocket, etc.
I struggle to find soft shell jackets that are appropriate. I hate falling and getting snow down my pants or getting snow burn on my back , so I need something that's long enough and that has some sort of snow skirt or drawstring.
to the OP, why dont you just buy an interchange jacket with a shell that isn't insulated. i have a columbia jacket that came with a fleece jacket, 60-70 dollars on it's own...plus the waterproof shell for 75$. it's a 10k rating, and it keeps me dry fine. however, i bought it at the columbia store, i saw it at a board shop around here and they had it priced at 175$...so yeah, just look for that cuz it will keep you dry and you won't get hot at all...
