Proton Hybrid Hoody - Review 2025

Forget the old saying “don’t be silly, start chilly,” because the Proton Hybrid Hoody provides the hard to strike balance of warmth, breathability, and protection from the elements that make a piece of gear that is a must have for any mountain minded individual.

The Proton Hybrid Hoody offers 40g Coreloft insulation paired with a GORE-TEX INFINIUM™ face fabric. This provides both warmth and wind protection that isn’t overbearing. allowing the user to move freely and comfortably with a 4-way stretch fabric, so much so that you might even be tempted to do some pre-ski tailgate yoga.

Patterned to fit close to the body, this piece can be worn over a simple base layer as a stand-alone jacket or under a more weather resistant shell.

The mountains are in a constant state of change, sunny and clear blue skies can quickly give way to squalls and cool temps, which makes choosing the right layer a seemingly impossible task. Stopping to change layers be damned, with unparalleled freedom of movement, maximum breathability, and a pinch of insulation, this jacket is made to be worn on the move.
