Excellent as a sun shirt
"I've been wearing the crew neck vapor long sleeve as a winter base layer for years. I sized up on the hoody to wear as a sun shirt for a river trip and it's great, one of my favorite pieces of clothing."

Description
Description
Duckworth's Vapor Hoody is the perfect lightweight, 4-season Merino layer for people constantly on the move.
Our Vapor Hoody begins with natural, Montana-grown Merino Wool that's then spun and knit into our proprietary Vapor Wool fabric blend. Vapor Wool combines three different fibers to create a garment that is lightweight, soft, cooling, antimicrobial (odor-free), moisture-wicking and ultra-fast-drying.
It's perfect as a baselayer during high-exertion winter activities or as a sun hoody that keeps sun off the skin (UPF-50) and the body cool when worn solo in the heat. Featuring a loose-fit hood, this versatile Merino Wool hoody was born in the Montana backcountry and has been performance tested in environments from Arizona to Alaska.
American-made with Montana wool.
NEW FOR 2026: The vapor collection now features an updated vortex-spun yarn construction designed for greater durability, reduced pilling, and longer-lasting performance. This improvement strengthens the fabric while preserving its ultralight breathability and soft feel that continues to improve with wear and washing.

Reviews
Comfortable and soft
"I love this thing. The women’s were sold out. So I opted to try the men’s. I’m a Medium women’s and purchase Small men’s. For a hoody it’s just fine. So soft and comfortable with the perfect amount of stretch. I have not sweat it in yet, as per the video “directions”."
Vapor Hoodie
"Great comfortable layer to take the chill off. Sleeves long enough to keep the sun off too. Would buy again."
Great shirt
"Awesome feel, true to size, comfortable fit and material. Good for cozy wear or outdoor work in the sun."
Bought a second one in a size larger.
"My husband loves it so much we (it’s his daily wear) bought a second one! Now I can convince him to take it off so I can (occasionally, like literally every few months) wash it. Before he literally hated to spend a day without wearing it so I could wash it! Except now on really cold days he insists on wearing both at once🤣"
Fun hoodie
"Totally impressive very comfortable 5’ 10” 180 lbs large fits excellent, I have to get more for summer I require sun protection. These will work well and I feel stylish for a Idaho resident."
Cool and dry
"Fantastic light weight hoodie. I fish a lot and I have always used synthetics that start to stink or take forever to dry. Ive been a merino wool t shirt guy for years and figured it was time I got more of the best to keep me cool on the water."
Vapor Hoody
"Hoody fits great and I will be wearing it a lot. Thank you Duckworth for another awesome product."
great fit
"ordered a large as I have tees, long sleeves in the same size and was happy to find this is the same fit as them. Look forward to putting it through its paces on the river as the weather starts warming up."
"I'm impressed with the fit and the versatility it offers, allowing me to wear it for various daily activities, including exercise, yard work, farm chores, or hiking."
Q&A
- Are there plans to bring back the Standard Gray color for the Vapor Hoodie?
- Hi There! We do not have plans to restock our Vapor Hoody in Standard Gray. Let us know if you have any other questions!
- I dried my hoodie in the drier by accident is it ruined?
- Great questions, Alex! The garment is not ruined in our eyes, but we recognize the fit of the garment will change drastically due to shrinkage. Thanks for your question! We also have an article on our website detailing how to wash Merino wool: https://www.duckworthco.com/blogs/news/how-to-wash-merino-wool
- Is there any possibility for a version with less or possibly no polyester? Thank you
- Thanks for you question, Garrett! The Vapor series is our lightest weight line with the blend, while the Maverick series is one of our 100% wool lines. We will take this consideration as feedback for our Vapor production.
- Hello, I’m 5’9 155lbs. Would you recommend a size medium in the vapor hoodie? Currently I have huge powder hoodie in size small.
- Depending on how you prefer your fit, I would recommend the Medium, this would give you a relaxed fit, whereas a small might be more of a fitted shirt on you.
- Greetings, I saw a comment from Duckworth in one of the August reviews regarding tweaking the fit of the Vapor Hoody and making more room in the body on the next production run. Are you able to give a timeframe on when that updated fit would be available for purchase? Thank you!
- The updated fit for the Vapor Hoody is now reflected in the current stock on our website!
