When a fleece feels too cold and a puffer feels like too much, the Free Padded Hood steps in. A technical mid layer with relaxed freeride attitude, it uses an integrated Japanese fabric–insulation system for stretchable warmth, breathable comfort, and light weather resistance — on the mountain or off it.

How it fits into your System

performance

Japanese Steeze

The Free Padded Hood combines technical performance with everyday comfort, using a Japanese-made construction that integrates fabric, insulation, and stitching into one stretchable system. The padding is built from four spiral-shaped fibre types for soft, flexible warmth that moves naturally with the body, while the DWR-treated outer fabric adds light weather protection. A 1/3-length zipper allows quick venting during climbs or spring laps, the fitted hood adds warmth without bulk, and a single chest pocket keeps essentials close. Oversized in classic Free style, it works as a mid layer under a shell for cold freeride days or as a standalone piece for ski touring, travel, or spring conditions. Technical where it counts, effortless everywhere else.
