Our take on the Mountain Hardwear Women's Up First Tech Fleece Hoody

A lightweight women's hooded fleece made from 200g brushed-back recycled polyester with 4% elastane for stretch, plus stretch jersey knit panels and an anti-odor treatment. At about 8 oz in size Medium, it is built as a thin midlayer or a stand-alone layer for cool, dry days rather than a heavy warmth piece. It sits close to the body with a 26-inch center back length and a fitted hood. Rivals in this class, such as Patagonia's R1 Air and Arc'teryx's Delta, offer similar breathable grid or knit fleeces; the Up First leans lighter and simpler, with fewer pockets and no grid texture. Owners rate it highly for comfort and packability.

Questions and answers

Is this warm enough to wear on its own?
Only in mild or active conditions. It is a thin 200g fleece meant as a midlayer or a light stand-alone piece on cool, dry days.
How does it compare with the Patagonia R1 Air?
The Up First is lighter and smoother, without the R1 Air's grid texture. The R1 Air feels a bit warmer and more textured; this one packs smaller and layers more cleanly.
Does it run true to size?
It is cut close to the body. Most buyers stay with their usual size for a fitted layer and size up if they plan to wear it over a thicker top.
What is the fabric made of?
The body is 96% recycled polyester and 4% elastane brushed-back fleece; the stretch panels are 100% polyester. Both have an anti-odor treatment.
How much does it weigh?
About 8 oz (226 g) in size Medium, which makes it one of the lighter hooded fleeces in its class.
Does it have pockets?
It has minimal pocketing compared with heavier fleeces, so plan on carrying essentials elsewhere.
