686 Waterproof Team Women's Crop Hoody

The 686 Waterproof Team Women's Crop Hoody is a cropped softshell pullover with a waterproof face, a soft fleece backing and an adjustable hood. It has the easy look of a streetwear hoodie but sheds snow and wet weather, so it works solo on mild days or under a shell when it storms.

Why we like it:

The cropped, boxy shape ends right at the top of your pants or bibs, so it looks sharp without bunching at the waist.

Features and Functions:

Grommet vents under the arms let heat escape, which matters in a waterproof hoodie that's warmer than it looks. The fabric is a lightweight three-layer infiDRY softshell bonded to a polyester fleece backing, so it blocks wet weather while staying stretchy and soft inside. A bungee-cord hood and a cord-lock hem dial in the fit, and ribbed knit cuffs keep the sleeves snug. Hidden-zip hand pockets and a Velcro pass pocket, with a clip for keys, handle storage.

Fit and Sizing:

A loose, cropped fit that slips over a base layer easily, and a cinchable hem that lets you gather it in or let it hang.

Bottom Line:

Best for women who want a hoodie they can ski in for real, from sunny spring laps to storm days under a shell.
