Men's Lightweight Technical Hoody

The latest evolution of our sell-out summer ‘24 hoody. A lightweight, wicking, quick-drying, and ultra-breathable tech hoody built for high-output adventures and multi-activity use.

Designed for better sun protection by featuring long sleeves, a sleek under-helmet hood, and a UPF 40+ rating—essential when you’re pushing through sun-drenched trails or navigating high-altitude terrain in thinner air. The breathable, barely-there mélange fabric is soft, crease-resistant, and anti-odour treated, meaning easy packing and prolonged freshness. A drying loop adds on-the-go practicality alongside a 21g weight saving to its predecessor.

With a seam construction so refined, you’ll forget they exist; bonded sealed seams at the hem and low-profile merrow stitching throughout minimise chafe concerns over distance, and ensure any pack sits smoothly. Articulated seam panelling enhances mobility, allowing unrestricted movement through every stride, reach, and ascent.

The new summer essential.

Should you size up?
Designed with a slim, athletic fit. Size up if you prefer a more regular-fitting hoody.

Great top, bought 5 months ago, really thin base layer which feels really lightweight but robust.
Washes really well, and holds it shape despite its lightweight material. Drys really quick. Hood is great size and does not flap about when down.
I wear top next to skin as first layer and it’s not itchy.
I would definitely recommend going a size up if you don’t want the top skin tight. Logo is not over the top but visible.
I highly recommend this top.

Well made and fit is as size chart. Quality feel to material, lightweight and comfortable. Would give 5 stars if it had thumb loops.

Quality layer

As ever with Jottnar - a quality layer - great by itself (whilst on the move) or as a comfortable under layer.
Great fit !

Great top. The design and material are top drawer. Great fit and really comfortable.

Great protection from sun and wind

I was looking forward to finding out how well this top would perform on a two day trek across the hills and mountains of mid Wales. I wasn’t disappointed.

Whilst not as soft as I had expected, the Verja remained comfortably, sweet drying quickly and without leaving the toxic smell I’ve experienced with other so called wicking tops. The Verja also kept off the worse of the wind, and with the hood up, protected all but the front of my head from sunburn.

Only gripe is that the fabric has become visibly marked in the area caught between trouser buckle and the buckle of my backpack. My Verja no longer looks as stylish as when new. Hence the four star rating.
