I recently purchased the Senchi 90 hoodie with front quarter zipper. I like the zippered version because I can open the zipper and dump out excess heat. I can comfortably wear this up to 55'sh F when paired with a long sleeve base layer (maybe 60 if I open the zipper). Last week I did a section hike on the AT between Hot Springs, NC and Erwin, TN. I wore a lightweight Smartwool long sleeve base layer with the Sench 90 hoodie. The Temps were in the low to mid 30's. This system worked fantastic as long as I was climbing hills and working hard, but when I swung around the side of a mountain and was hit with strong winds (or stopped), I'd get a bit chilled. I thought this Senchi would have stunk after a day or two or hiking (not merino wool), but it actually held up quite well. I was pleasantly surprised. I love this mid-layer and is my go-to system until they invent something better.
Love this! Thanks for sharing.
The 'coolest' thing about your video is getting the kids out into the mountains.
I LOVE getting our kids out in the mountains!

I’ve got a Beyond the Trailhead alpha hoodie and it’s awesome!
Never heard of that one. You are happy with the way it is made?
@@rootsandpeaks Yeah it’s just a guy, I think his name is Justin that makes them, but it has a cool hood/face flap thing with customizable button colors on it. It also has the option for a kangaroo pocket which is super helpful. There’s a few week lead time though, but it’s sweet.
@@daltonzanetti great to know! They look dope.
That’s the Totoro one! 😂
100%. Next I need to pick up the howl’s one (feathers).
Hi RP! Would you size it up? So L instead of M? So many people say that for Polartec Alpha in general, now I'm unsure. Especially because I'd need to order it from the US to Europe. So no chance to cheaply try a size. Liked your content, keep it up!
I think the fit is similar to microgrid, which usually runs about a half size smaller. So, if you normally take a medium, I’d suggest a large. Good luck! And let me know how it fits you!
Great review. What height are you and what size did you get?
I’m 5’11”, 220lbs and I got an XL. I love the way it fits me.
Eddie Bauer super 7 is the same material for $70 which is the cheapest I've found.
Sweet! I’ll have to check that out.
I have one that looked exactly the same from the brand ACG (Nike) and it came already ripped so I returned it. Now I feel bad about it
Why do you feel bad? If it came ripped, you needed to return it!
Was it a “Wolf Lichen” from ACG? I’m curious about those. They don’t say they are alpha direct, but it looks really similar.
yeah, it was exactly that model on the color green and looks very similar to the one in the video in terms of the design, even had a bag to carry it. and also sported the polartec logo. @@rootsandpeaks
I mean it was a nice jacket and could have just ordered another one after returning the faulty one, but I thought that if it wasn´t sturdy enough to arrive in good condition maybe it wasn't gonna last for a hike. but now that I see your video and that it is an established technology from polartec that works, I feel bad for not ordering another one @@rootsandpeaks
@@user-wr8qh9si9x weirdly, they don’t say if it is Alpha Direct. It might be something specifically made for Nike.
Creo firmemente en Dios y en los míos también bendiciones 😇
stunning.... lol
That thing looks like a snag magnet. Gotta be careful with it?
Totally is, but it’s stronger that I would have expected, just looking at it.
If you are curious about it, you can order a swatch from ripstop by the roll. It helped me get a better idea before I plunked down the money for one.
@@rootsandpeaks can't go wrong with a swatch.
