Mountain Hardwear Le Hoody Royale : A Trim Eco Take on an old Classic

This hoody is a favorite of mine!  It's comfortable and stylish; which I love for kicking around after a bike ride or, to look casually cool running errands around town.  With a plush texture, the inside of the hoody is extremely soft against my bare skin.  And, a slim-fit body, full hood along with the ribbed cuffs and waistband make a style that is definitely sporty.

 The attention to design detail is evident.  There are two zippered outside pockets and two interior pockets, all large enough to easily hold a small wallet, keys and lipstick. 

I love the functional sleeves that have thumb holes, which eliminate the need for gloves and keep my hands warm and dry.  Plus, I think the long-cuffs-thumb-hole look is a cool one.  Then, there's the stitched 'nut' motif on the exterior, 'nut' hole fasteners, climbing cord zipper pulls, and a contrast interior seam which make for a stylish hoody I thouroughly enjoy wearing. 

The most important feature that I appreciate is Mountain Hardwear's eco-conscious effort to create a hoody made from a fabric blend of 40% organic cotton.  As someone who loves nature and Mother Earth, I make an effort to support outdoor companies that are producing goods with the environment in mind and this one does just that!  

•Available in men's and women's styles and sizes.

Bottom Line : Love the slim fit, eco creds, and plenty of pockets.--H.H. (Dec 08)
