Freewheel 1/2-Zip Plus Hoodie - Women's

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I rely on the Freewheel Hoodie for early season rides—it breathes well, cuts the wind, and moves perfectly on the bike. The longer back hem and articulated design make a huge difference when I’m in the saddle, and it’s light enough to stash when things warm up."

The Outdoor Research Freewheel 1/2-Zip Plus Hoodie is designed specifically to meet the demands of cool-weather riding. Its bluesign®-approved double-weave fabric—made from 92% recycled nylon—offers a breathable, wind-resistant barrier with stretch that adapts to every twist and shift on the bike. Whether pedaling through crisp mornings or descending windy ridgelines, this hoodie stays comfortable and responsive.

Every detail is built for the ride: the articulated cuffs and dropped tail provide ergonomic coverage, while a helmet-compatible hood and shoulder seams positioned for pack straps enhance comfort for extended missions. The long front zip boosts ventilation and makes it easy to pull on mid-ride when clouds roll in. With integrated UPF 50+ sun protection and quick-drying performance, it’s a versatile, climate-adaptive layer that extends riding season deep into the shoulder months.
