Is the Spyder Racer warm enough on its own?

It is a midweight layer, not a winter jacket. It works alone in cool weather and as a base or midlayer under a shell in the cold.

How does it compare with a standard cotton hoodie?

The waffle knit and brushed fleece back breathe better and dry faster than cotton, and the quarter zip lets you dump heat without taking it off.

What is the fit like?

It is cut in men's sizing as an athletic performance layer. If you want room for a base layer underneath, consider going up a size.

Can I wear it under a ski helmet?

The hood is low-profile enough to sit under a helmet, and the quarter zip lets you vent on the lift or the climb.

Does it have pockets?

The Racer is designed as a streamlined layer, so expect a minimal pocket setup rather than deep handwarmer pockets.

Our take on the Spyder Men's Racer 1/4 Zip Pullover Hoodie

The Spyder Racer is a midweight quarter-zip hoodie built as a performance layer for cold-weather activity. It uses a waffle-knit face with a brushed fleece interior, which traps warmth while letting moisture escape better than a plain cotton hoodie. The quarter zip and hood give you quick venting and coverage on the move. It suits skiers, runners and anyone layering under a shell, though it is a lighter layer than a full fleece or insulated midlayer.
