Is the Tuo Solent jacket waterproof?

No. The AeroGuard membrane is windproof, not waterproof. It handles light drizzle but not steady rain; wear a shell over it in wet weather.

How warm is it compared with a regular fleece?

Warmer in wind. The 340 GSM three-layer fleece plus the windproof membrane holds heat that plain fleece loses to gusts, so it works as an outer layer in cool, breezy conditions.

Can the hood be removed?

Yes. The hood attaches with a zipper and snaps and comes off fully. Its shallower depth is meant to keep your side vision clear.

What can I carry in the pockets?

Four zippered pockets: two at the waist and two on the chest. The chest pockets have tether loops sized for a rangefinder or similar device.

Does it work as a midlayer under a shell?

Yes. The 4-way stretch and trim three-layer build layer well under a rain shell, and the tall collar adds neck warmth without a separate gaiter.

It is cut for movement with 4-way stretch, so it runs true to size for layering. Size up if you plan to wear a thick sweater underneath.
