Description of Backcountry.com Prime Power Stretch Hoody - Women's:
Layering is a science and the Backcountry.com Women’s Prime Power Stretch Hoody wants to give you Nature’s test notes. Power Stretch fabric holds warmth close on those chilly days and breathes like a champ when things warm up. The Prime Power Stretch Top’s female-flattering athletic fit layers like an onion and the hood offers shelter when the chill sets in. Stash your keys, lip balm, and other small items in the hand pockets for safe keeping during your tour, hike, or crag session.
Just bought both colors for my wife. She loves the colors and the fit. They fit very true to size. The material is extremely soft both inside and out. Hopefully I got a few browny points for the surprise :)
My husband got this hoody for me thinking it would be a great base layer (like it says), which it is. But... the pockets and the hood are totally pointless. Nothing stays in the pockets and the hood doesn't stay on. It isn't quite as warm as I was looking for. We are backcountry skiers so we hike a lot. It does the job and it's warm enough if you are working hard, but I use it more often as a casual fleece. It's nice looking. If the pockets had zippers and the hood a drawstring, it would be perfect.

Backcountry.com Prime Power Stretch Hoody - Soft and Comfortable 12-30-08
The Backcountry.com Prime Power Stretch Hoody is a great hoody for all around. It is extremely soft on the inside and very comfortable. I run in it a lot in the winter as it keeps me warm yet is still breathable so I don't feel like I have to peel off any layers as I get going.
