Any ladies out there that can suggest a very lightweight merino wool hoodie? Really tough finding something under 200 g/m2.
Apr 19, 2021 at 7:26 am #3709447I would have said Rab Merino + but they seem to have discontinued it.  Take a look at Duckworth. I have their Men’s Snorkel Hoodie that is nice and thin and they did have a women’s version.  Voormi also has the River Run hoodie and though I don’t have one, it’s supposed to be VERY light.

Apr 19, 2021 at 8:39 am #3709454I love my women’s Duckworth Vapor Snorkel hoodie. It’s lightweight (150 gsm), breathable and has held up well to a lot of trips. It’s also easy to ventilate, with the neck zipper. It’s worked well in the southeastern Appalachians and in the northern Rocky Mountains.
