Stoney Creek Mens Microplus Hoodie
- Material: Pure hydrophobic micro-yarn
- Hood Type: Fitted
- Pocket Type: Zip chest pocket
- Sleeve Detail: Thumb loops
Built for the hunter who refuses to compromise on performance, the Stoney Creek Mens Microplus Hoodie delivers serious warmth in a surprisingly lightweight package. Constructed from a pure hydrophobic micro-yarn fleece, it sheds light moisture while maintaining its thermal properties, making it an ideal mid-layer or next-to-skin base layer across a wide range of conditions. The high warmth-to-weight ratio means you get genuine insulation without the bulk that slows you down on the hill, whether you're glassing a ridge at first light or pushing through dense scrub during a driven hunt. With a fitted hood, thumb loops to seal out drafts at the wrists, and a zip chest pocket for securing small essentials, the details here are practical and considered rather than decorative.
Stoney Creek Mens Microplus Hoodie Key Features
- Fabric: Pure hydrophobic micro-yarn fleece that actively resists light moisture absorption, helping the garment retain warmth even in damp conditions and keeping weight down when the weather turns.
- Layering Versatility: Designed to function equally well as a next-to-skin base layer or a mid-layer insulation piece, making it a flexible addition to any layering system across seasons and elevations.
- Warmth-to-Weight Ratio: Delivers meaningful thermal insulation without adding unnecessary bulk or restricting movement, a key consideration when packing light or moving quickly through technical terrain.
- Fitted Hood: A close-fitting hood sits cleanly under a pack harness or outer shell without bunching, and provides additional head and neck warmth when needed.
- Thumb Loops: Integrated thumb loops on the sleeves prevent the cuffs from riding up and seal the gap between glove and sleeve, helping to retain heat at the wrists in cold conditions.
- Zip Chest Pocket: A secure zip chest pocket keeps small items accessible and protected, sitting low-profile enough to sit comfortably under a pack harness or vest.
- TCF Camo Pattern: An eleven-layered camo design featuring deep greens and rich browns, engineered for hunters working in dense bush and heavy vegetation where close-range concealment is critical.
- TCA Camo Pattern: Features scorched earthy tones designed to mimic high-elevation, exposed landscapes, making it particularly well-suited to alpine and tussock hill country hunting situations.
- DWR and Teflon Coating: The fabric carries a Durable Water Repellent (DWR) and Teflon treatment that can be revived with a 20-minute warm tumble dry and should be reapplied approximately every two years to maintain performance.
- Care and UV Awareness: Stoney Creek recommends washing inside out at 40 degrees Celsius using a non-powdered liquid detergent. Powdered detergents contain UV brighteners that are visible to animals and will compromise your fieldcraft. Do not store the garment damp, wet, or compressed.
The Stoney Creek Mens Microplus Hoodie is a straightforward, no-nonsense performer that earns its place in any hunting layering system. Whether you're after a lightweight insulation piece for the pack or a next-to-skin layer that works hard across the full range of Australian conditions, this is a garment built with genuine field use in mind.
What is the Stoney Creek Microplus Hoodie made from, and how does the material perform?
The Microplus Hoodie is made from pure hydrophobic micro-yarn, which gives it a high warmth-to-weight ratio while remaining lightweight and durable. The hydrophobic properties help resist moisture, making it a versatile option whether worn as a next-to-skin base layer or a mid-layer insulation piece in changeable conditions.
Which camo pattern should I choose for hunting?
It depends on your hunting environment. TCF Camo uses deep greens and browns in an eleven-layered design suited to dense vegetation. TCA Camo features scorched earthy tones designed to blend into high elevation, exposed landscapes. Navy/Black is also available for non-hunting or general outdoor use.
How should I wash and care for the Microplus Hoodie?
Wash regularly at 40°C inside out using a non-powdered laundry detergent — powdered detergents contain UV brightness that can be visible to animals. An occasional warm tumble dry for around 20 minutes helps revive the fabric and rejuvenate the DWR and Teflon coating. Reapply DWR every two years and never store the garment damp or scrunched.
What practical features does the Microplus Hoodie include for layering and movement?
The hoodie includes thumb loops to keep sleeves in place during layering, a fitted hood, and a zip chest pocket. It provides useful warmth without bulk, making it easy to combine with outer shells or wear alone. The design keeps it flexible enough for active use across a range of outdoor conditions.
