FS [NSW-Newcastle] NW Alpine Spider Hoodie, Black, Large.
Posted: Tue 12 Nov, 2013 6:12 pmHi All
This ones my trusted NW Alpine Spider Hoodie. Great item for cold temps, very breathable and it stays dry during high output due to the very light polartec grid fleece. More importantly is it dries very quickly if wet. I've used this as just a baselayer when jogging in the cold weather.
Plenty of info online about this hoodie, revered on BPL and climbers forums. Best description I read was it's about an R0.75 thickness (Patagonia make R1 jackets which are a slightly thicker gridfleece). The grid pattern is to the inside of the hoodie, the outer face is a smooth fleece which hasn't piled one bit in 2 years. This is a quality USA made item.

The American's class this as a "baselayer". More like for us mere Aussies it more realistically a midlayer as it's not so cold here for the most part (Unless Tassie winters or Mainland Alps)
Men's Large in Black, About 2 years old now. I just haven't had the time to give it use lately and I'm still trying to thin out my gear cupboard.......
Has an awesome hood, Very deep (ie; belly button deep) chest zip, small chest pocket, great thumb holes in the ends of the arms to keep you hands a bit warmer and the best bit is it's a long torso cut, ie; about 8" below my 5'11" waist.
Fit is athletic but the material is stretchy anyway. I'm 74kgs and 40" chested, would fit someone up to about 43" chest. (So interestingly the NW Alpine size chart appears correct)
$65 AUD including postage anywhere in Australia.
