Hoodies (Sweatshirts)

[zboss]

Hi...

Does anyone have recommendations on a GREAT hoodie? My requirements are that it be non-absorbing (for obvious reasons), bunch at the wrists, waist, neck AND head (separately) using cord.

I would really like to find material that is 100% polyester like under armour but they don't seem to make one like that.

Thanks!

these guys make exceptional gear... good deals in the 'clearance' section:

Gill North America: Gill Race Waterproof Smock RC002

these guys are solid too...

I've got a zippered Patagonia synthetic that's great at shedding wind and water. I second the recommendation to check their line to see if they make something that suits your needs.

A lot of people now make fleece hoodies, many of which would work for you.

Thanks for the responses! I have several fleece hoodies but they still get a bit damp.

I will look at the patagonia.

Columbia also makes some gear that might work.

Take a look at Campmor Camping Gear & Outdoor Gear - Outerwear & Outdoor Clothing from Campmor.com. While it is not a dedicated sailing outfitter, they do have good prices on great gear which matches up to some of the best sailing outfitters.

A few more places to look for clothing, not marine specific, but useful on a boat, are:

REI.com—their in-house brand has some good stuff
sierratradingpost.com—heavily discounted, but often only in select colors/styles/sizes
moosejaw.com—much like Sierra Trading Post...

if you go with the pategonia you wont be disappointed... one of their items ive had for a decade and its still like new....

I would get something zippered, rather than pull over. Just in case you end up in the water and need to get it off.
