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

What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:

"I wear the Freewheel Hoodie for shoulder-season gravel rides and early spring trail laps. It blocks wind without overheating, and the longer hem and helmet-compatible hood are perfect on the bike. The half zip makes it super easy to regulate temp or throw on over layers mid-ride."

When cool air creeps in but the trails are still calling, we pull on the Outdoor Research Freewheel 1/2-Zip Plus Hoodie to keep the ride rolling. Built with cycling-specific features and movement-focused fabric, this midlayer is our go-to for long miles on gravel or technical trail rides when the temps dip. Outdoor Research designed it with bluesign®-approved recycled materials, so it feels good for us and for the planet.

The double-weave fabric cuts the wind and sheds light moisture while delivering stretch that mirrors every shift in body position. A helmet-compatible hood and articulated cuffs make it ideal for layered rides, while the extended zip and drop-tail hem cater to time in the saddle. It even packs UPF 50+ sun protection for long days exposed on the ridgeline or in open desert. Breathable, durable, and dialed for life on two wheels, this is the hoodie we trust to extend the season.
