Marmot Prodigy Light Shell Hoodie

The Claim: A do-it-all soft shell.

The Reality: I hosed down for five minutes before it soaked through, and the medium-weight fabric survived an army crawl through a briar patch. The flex-friendly panels under the arms wicked moisture and kept the jacket in place on big reaches.

The Verdict: Not exactly packable, but tough enough to fend off the worst squalls. 1.3 lbs.

Outdoor Research Maximus Hoodie

The Claim: The only you need.

The Reality: The 70-denier fabric is basically tearproof, and the hem-to-pit side zips and four mesh-backed pockets made shedding body heat a matter of unzipping. When I turned 1,500 psi of water on the Maximus, a small leak appeared on the pocket zips. Forgivable.

The Verdict: It鈥檚 ready for any condition. 1.2 lbs.

Black Diamond Coefficient Hoodie

The Claim: The ultimate mountain fleece.

The Reality: The withstood heavy winds and hose spray as well as soft shells nearly twice its weight. And the gridded back on its interior Power Dry fleece made it breathe much better. But it鈥檚 not perfect: a blackberry bramble frayed the nylon wrist gaskets.

The Verdict: A highly versatile piece for every athlete鈥檚 closet. 13 oz.

Westcomb Tango Hoody

The Claim: A soft-shell puffy.

The Reality: The ‘s 20-denier exterior brushed past thorns. Heftier shells in the test were more waterproof (the Tango soaked through after ten minutes of steady drenching), but its synthetic Polartec Alpha insulation dried out within a half-hour鈥攔efreshingly fast. Pockets would have been nice.

The Verdict: A featherweight puffy that can handle bushwacking, light rains, and chilly nights. 14 oz.
