It's really snuggly, fits great, and is a good in-between warmth for the shoulder season right now. Fantastic color too!

I brought the Highlander Full Zip Hoodie after reading about it on a blog. It is light and breathable which also means it gets cold in any slightly windy condition. It’s a decent mid layer with a wind jacket over it. It’s lighter than I expected which also means it has no structure. It just flops around on my body and I’m tugging on it constantly to keep it wearing properly. I’m 5’5” 145# with 40” chest so not tall. I always wear a medium with other outdoor clothing brands. But the Highlander is really long, the hem drapes past my crotch when properly fitted around my shoulders (remember the no structure?) and just looks weird on me. I think it’s made for guys who are at least 5’9”+. If you fit the profile of the customer they designed the hoodie for maybe you’ll find it a good item to own. I regret spending $100 on something I’m not likely to wear hardly at all.

Love how warm this hoodie is for being so lightweight and comfortable. The quality is top notch and everything is locally sourced. The staff in the store was friendly and knowledgeable. This is a great company that I will definitely buy from again.

I hike in Maine and New Hampshire. In addition to wanting to support a company that uses all USA materials and whose seamstresses you can see working right in the store, I know I can trust Burgeon's products. They're made right in the region I hike and backpack, so I know I can trust the products to meet my needs. Seasons are a little different in different regions, so with them right in NH I know it's what I'll need. The Highlander hoodie is one of the best pieces of gear I own--I went with the full zip to regulate body temperature and wear it pretty much every day at some point, whether outdoors being active or around the house. The handwritten note by Nick (who I've met in the Burgeon store in Lincoln) was top-notch.

I’ve been eyeballing this full zip hoodie for some time. I was looking for a lightweight, breathable full zip hoodie. I prefer full zip so I can really dump heat if needed. This thing is so comfy on the skin. It’s like wearing a Barefoot Dreams blanket. I’m normally an XL and went for the XL even though they say size up. It fits perfect. 6’2 215lbs. Two things I don’t love about it. I feel the zipper is to big/heavy based on how lightweight it is. I have other lightweight jackets that have the smaller zipper and you hardly know it’s there. This zipper feels over kill. It’s not huge but I think it could be smaller. The zipper also doesn’t have a garage at the top to slide into so it’s there and exposed at your chin. I haven’t worn it enough to see if it’s going to be bothersome. Secondly the sleeves are large and loose at the wrist. When my hands are by my side the sleeves hang about halfway down my hands. About mid palm. I wish there were a little elastic at the wrist or if it just tapered. It’s still hot here in AZ so I’ll hike with it more in a few months and give it a good test but these are just my first impressions.
