Just got the emerald color today and in comparison to the previous Black Spyder hoodies I have, this one isn't as soft and feels much thinner/less warm. The previous ones rapidly became my favorite all-around hoodies- they were amazing for both climbing and belaying on multipitch climbs, mountain runs, and even as a base layer for skiing. Based on the changes in the fabric, I'm not optimistic this will be as great.
