Cedars RWS Merino Lt-Wt Baselayer Hoodie warms every high-output day
We built the Cedars RWS Merino Lt-Wt Baselayer Hoodie for the athlete who treats slalom gates, park laps, and après-ski as three legs of the same sport. Merino wool handles the rest, trapping warmth, wicking moisture, and resisting odor without ever feeling synthetic. Nylon fibers back up that performance with the durability to survive a full season of layering.
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"This looser-cut fit doesn't cling once I push the pace. The collar sits low enough that I never have to tug it away from my throat."

Frequently Asked Questions
How should I choose a size in the Backcountry Cedars RWS Merino Lt-Wt Baselayer Hoodie?
It has a regular fit, so start with your usual men’s top size for a base-layer fit. If you’re between sizes or want more room for a thicker layer underneath, size up; use the product-page size chart to compare available sizes.When is the Backcountry Cedars Merino baselayer hoodie best to wear?
Its lightweight merino blend suits high-output skiing, touring, hiking, and similar activities in cool to cold conditions. For exposed weather, layer it under a shell; it manages moisture and adds warmth but is not a weather shell.How does this merino hoodie compare with a synthetic baselayer?
Merino naturally helps manage moisture and resist odor, while recycled nylon reinforces the fabric and spandex adds stretch. Choose it when those merino qualities suit your active layering system; a synthetic baselayer may suit you better if you prioritize a more streamlined feel.How should I layer the Backcountry Cedars hoodie for skiing or hiking?
Wear it next to skin, then add a midlayer for more warmth and a shell when you need protection from the elements. The hood adds another layer around your head and neck, so arrange it smoothly beneath your outer layers to reduce bunching.How do I care for the Cedars RWS Merino Lt-Wt Baselayer Hoodie?
Follow the garment’s care label, using a gentle wool-appropriate wash and mild detergent; avoid bleach and fabric softener. Reshape and air-dry, or use a dryer only if the label allows, and store it clean and fully dry.
