Acrispcotton Lighthooded Pre-Release Review
I was offered the opportunity to review the upcoming Acrispcotton Lighthooded, which releases tomorrow at 1pm EST (thank you to Tyler/Outlier). I received this piece for free. All thoughts here are my own and have not been reviewed or edited by anyone affiliated with Outlier.
I just received this piece today a couple hours ago, despite the best efforts of the United Parcel Service. While I plan on writing a full review and adding more details, for now AMA if you have questions about it ahead of the drop.

Here’s a quick fit gallery (link), and
Here are some of my quick first impressions:
- TTS Medium fits great at 5’9”
- Chest: 27.5”
- Length: 28.5”
- Sleeve: 35”
- Cuffs feel perfect, no tightness issues like with the Trackwool Lightsplitter (I have one in M too, will compare fabrics).
- Zip and kangaroo pockets are spacious.
- Hood also fits and sits well for my large head. Could maybe be a little larger but I just like big hoods.
- Prefer wearing it with the hem uncinched so far.
- Very lightweight, fabric is only 90gsm. The whole piece weighs 275g (0.6 lbs).
- Same fabric as the face on Adown, feels sturdy enough for how light it is. Asked on the Discord a few days ago and it doesn't seem like people have had durability issues, though I wouldn’t want to fall off a bike wearing it or anything.
I’ll do my best to answer any questions and fabric comparisons. Outlier should also be doing their usual pre-release livestream on Instagram tomorrow starting 12:30pm EST, where they show off the piece and answer questions as well.
