Arc’teryx Incendo Hoody
Material
The Arc’teryx Incendo Hoody is built from a nylon blend, which is similar in concept to the fabric used in the Incendo Pant. It’s engineered with a single-wall construction that is breathable and water-resistant and has a DWR finish that helps get rid of light moisture. The fabric is very light and has a slight stretch from the elastane for mobility. It is worth mentioning this hoody has reinforced stitching in high-wear areas.
Design
This jacket’s trim, almost second-skin fit minimizes bulk and friction. It’s also low-profile, so you can layer it easily or stow it away when conditions change. The Incendo Hoody has an adjustable hood with an elastic edge that sits close to the head. The jacket has two small reflective blades on the rear to help with visibility in low-light conditions
The hem and cuffs are designed to lock in warmth without restricting movement. The cuffs are elasticised, and the hem has an adjustable drawstring. The Incendo hoody does not have hand pockets; it has only one small zipped pocket on the bottom right in the rear of the jacket. The pocket has a small loop to clip keys on.
Moisture Management
One of the standout features is its ventilation system. This jacket has large mesh underarm panels to assist with airflow and cooling.
Weight
This hoody is impressively light, weighing just a few ounces. I’ve packed it into a small pack that fits neatly into my running vest without adding bulk.
How I use
Running and Hiking
I’ve worn the Arc’teryx Incendo Hoody primarily for running and light hiking when cold or wet outside. Since it’s not designed for extreme cold, I wear it as an outer layer over a light long sleeve when the temperatures are milder.
