Simms Strata 330 Heavyweight Half Zip Hoody - Black

The 'heavyweight' designation refers to the substantial insulated fleece interior designed to provide significant warmth in cooler conditions.

The hoody features a C0 DWR finish for water-resistance, meaning it can repel light rain and snow. For heavy or prolonged rain, it is recommended to wear it as a mid-layer under a fully waterproof outer shell.

The 4-way stretch fabric allows the hoody to move with your body in all directions, providing unrestricted mobility for activities like casting a line, reaching, or hiking.

Yes, it can be worn as a standalone jacket in cool, dry, or mildly wet conditions. For colder temperatures, it functions best as a warm mid-layer.

C0 DWR stands for 'Carbon Zero Durable Water Repellent'. It's an environmentally friendlier finish that provides water and wind resistance without using perfluorinated chemicals (PFCs).

To maintain the DWR finish, avoid fabric softeners and harsh detergents. Re-activate it by tumble drying on low heat. For best results, consider reapplying a DWR treatment periodically.

This hoody is available in a range of sizes from Small to XXLarge.

Gently pull the zipper up and down while applying light pressure. Ensure no fabric is caught in the zipper teeth. A small amount of graphite (from a pencil) can be applied to the teeth if needed.

Reactivate the DWR finish by tumble drying on low heat for 20-30 minutes. For a more robust treatment, consider applying a wash-in or spray-on DWR product specifically designed for technical apparel.

Wash the hoody according to care instructions, avoiding fabric softeners. Use a wash bag to minimize abrasion during washing. Gently brush matted areas with a soft-bristled brush.
