With its uncanny blend of backcountry-focused construction and features, outdoor functionality and easy styling, the Georgetown Hooded Jacket thankfully puts an end to that outdated quandary. Warm, cozy and soft whilst also being breathable, stretchy and able to repel wind, water and cold, this softshell hoodie is a veritable steal at only $149, and the perfect wintertime purchase for yourself or a loved one.
