Beringia Altai Over Hoody

April 13, 2020February 20, 2020 by Cy Whitling
Cy Whitling reviews the Beringia Altai Over Hoody for Blister

When it comes to stop-and-start activities like ski touring, a big puffy jacket can not only be nice, but also extremely important if things go wrong in the backcountry. We’ve been using the Beringia (the North American branch of Teton Bros) Altai Over Hoody a lot this season, and think it makes for a great insulation layer. Check out our full review.
