A comfortable hoodie is a wardrobe staple. It’s the layer you throw on when the sun drops at the beach or for a quick run to the coffee shop. These are five of our favorites.
Meridian Line Bird Beard ($50)

It's fleece lined and has a classic kangaroo pocket up front, but we mostly love because of the bird in that man’s beard.
VISSLA El Granada ($75)

VISSLA channels your favorite Baja surf trip with a and a thick, “blanket-weight” cotton build.
Quiksilver Waterman Sanbern Scope ($75)

Made from a light-weight cotton, hoodie isn't the warmest, but it is the perfect layer for when the temps dip on summer nights.
Billabong Barlow ($70)

Part puffy vest, part comfy fleece-lined sweatshirt, hoodie takes a military chic approach to the classic hoodie design.
The North Face Reactor ($40)

was designed for running, so the quick-dry lining and thumbholes make it an essential layer during adventurous pursuits in chilly weather.
