Outdoor Research

Deviator Hoodie

A standout garment for use in aerobic activities in cold conditions, the $229 Deviator Hoodie is able to retain critical warmth, while also shedding heat when on the move, thanks to the new VerticalX Octa insulation technology paired with hybrid-mapped fabrics. VerticalX Octa is more effective for active use, according to the brand, because it doesn’t require an interior liner fabric and has an open structure, allowing it to breathe more effectively. It’s 50 percent lighter than traditional polyester insulation, has an outstanding warmth-to-weight ratio, wicks moisture, and is soft against the skin. On the back, side panels and under the arms, the Deviator uses a more breathable polyester/spandex grid fleece. All fabric and insulation materials are bluesign approved.
