[Hoodies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aether-walsh-hooded-anorak) aren't known for being the warmest of [winter clothing](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/trooper-puff-blouson), but 'The Smuggler' from Rusty is trying to change all of that. This sweater covers your entire upper body, leaving only a hole for your head to pop through.

In addition to the torso-covering design of The Smuggler, you also get an added pair of [fingerless gloves](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/khl-firestorm) to complete your winter-warrior look.
