Our favourite hiking and thru-hiking blog released a Gear Review of our Alpha Direct 120gsm Hoodie! 

We reached out to the Trek to ask if they were interested in testing out our new gear and  they were excited to do so! We sent our Alpha Direct 120 hoodie to the gear tester Alison Young (@blissfulhiker) for her to put to the test on her 2025 Great Divide Trail thru-hike. 

We chose the 120gsm, the thickest cut of Alpha Direct we had to match the harsh climate of the remote and rocky mountains of the GDT in Canada. 

We were stoked to read her article and are excited to share her conclusion with you! Read the full article on TheTrek.com

"Conclusion:

Adding the Terra UL Alpha Direct Hoodie to my pack was a game-changer in more ways than one. It became my secret weapon against the cold.  Ultralight, highly packable, it proved to be one of the pieces of gear that didn’t soak up moisture.

But more than anything, its soft, fuzzy comfort gave me something to look forward to after long days of mud-luging, bog-trotting, and blowdown-hurdling along the Great Divide.

The Terra UL Gear Alpha Direct Hoodie is now one of my favorite, don’t-leave-home-without-it pieces of gear. "
