WHAT IS IT?
AFTCO Coastal Layer Hoodie
WHAT SETS IT APART?
Ultra-soft polyester (90% poly, 10% spandex) that is lightweight and buttery soft, stretchy and durable. Zippered kangaroo-style pocket with reinforced tacking in the top seam prevents sagging when items are stored inside. Hood with neck coverage provides perfect ergonomic fit when wearing a hat. Quick dry, moisture wicking and DWR repellent. Sizes: S-2X. Colors: Air Force Blue Heather, Rubber Heather, Steel Heather.
HOW DO I USE IT?
Call the Coastal Layer lineup the perfect seasonal transition wear when it’s not quite cool enough to wear a jacket, or when a full-coverage AFTCO Reaper is too hot. Wear it under a lightweight puffer jacket for a new layering option. There’s also a Coastal Layer 1/4-zip pullover and women’s Funnel Neck Sweater. Layer up or down as needed during late spring or early fall.

ANGLER’S INSIGHT:
I admit it. I’m a hoodie junky. From late winter into early fall I spend considerable time on the water flying our drone for Bassmaster.com. Hoodies are part of the daily uniform, and AFTCO delivers with all-season coverage.
This tournament season I found myself wearing the Coastal Layer Hoodie more often than my other favorites. I found it the perfect solution when trying to decide between a jacket or Reaper, neither being ideal for the swing in temperatures during late spring and early fall.
The Coastal Layer is the perfect go-between. It was (and is) my choice on chilly spring mornings with quickly moderating temperatures. The reverse holds true on fall afternoons when warm days give way to late afternoon chill. I even wore my Coastal Layer when I wouldn’t normally pack a hoodie at all.
Technical features you’d expect from an AFTCO garment are there, along with downright soft and stretchy fabric that make it really stand out for casual or homey wear.
