- Is the Crew Hooded Jacket 2.0 fully waterproof?
- Yes. It uses a two-layer waterproof, windproof membrane with sealed construction, so it handles rain and spray. It is not designed for extended offshore storms like Helly Hansen's three-layer offshore shells.
- How does it compare with the original Crew Hooded Jacket?
- The 2.0 keeps the same sailing-focused design and fleece lining, with updated detailing. Treat it as a refinement rather than a redesign; the waterproofing class and cut are close.
- What should I wear under it?
- A base layer and a light fleece are enough for cool, wet days, since the jacket is already fleece-lined. Skip heavy midlayers if you want the slim fit to stay comfortable.
- Does it run small?
- The fit is slim and straight, and several owners say it is snug across the shoulders. If you plan to layer, consider sizing up.
- Is it good for hiking as well as sailing?
- Yes for wet, cool hikes. It is less breathable than dedicated three-layer hiking shells, so it can feel warm on steep, fast climbs.
- What is in the box?
- The jacket itself. It ships as a single garment with no stuff sack or extra layers included.
