  Every Guy Has Done This. Hoodie in Hand. No Good Way to Carry It. Looking Like an Idiot.

  You wore the hoodie because it was 38°F when you left the house.
  Now it's 55°F. You're warm. The hoodie needs to come off. What options do you have?

  • Option A: Tie it around your waist. You look like a tourist from 1994.
  • Option B: Drape it over your shoulders. You look like a French yacht owner. It falls off every 3 minutes.
  • Option C: Sling it over one arm. It slides off constantly. One hand permanently occupied.
  • Option D: Ball it up and shove it in... where? Your hands are full. Your bag is full. There's nowhere to put it.

  So you keep wearing it. Overheating. Sweating. Annoyed. All because nobody ever solved the most basic hoodie problem: what do you do with it when you don't need it? 

  The BÆRSkin Backpack Hoodie solves it in 10 seconds.

  Stuff the hoodie into its built-in hunter pocket. Pull out the hidden strap. Sling it on your back like a satchel. Keep moving. And if it rains? Zip on the Heavy-Storm Rain Jacket. When the rain stops, pack the jacket into the hoodie-backpack too.

  The World's Only Outdoor Hoodie That Carries Itself - And Your Rain Jacket Too.

  

  Converts to Backpack in 10s

  Stuff. Strap. Sling. The rear hunter pocket holds the entire hoodie when stuffed inside. A hidden backpack strap deploys from the pocket, turning your hoodie into a compact satchel you carry on your back or across your shoulder.

  

  Rain Jacket Packs Inside

  Your Entire Weather System in One Sling. Zip the Heavy-Storm Rain Jacket on when it rains. When the sun returns, pack the rain jacket into its own pocket, then slide it inside the hoodie-backpack. Hoodie + rain jacket — both packed, both carried, one sling bag on your back. Zero items in your hands.

  

  12 Secure Pockets

  Leave the Bag at Home. 3 front zip pockets, 2 arm zip pockets, 2 interior zip pockets, 3 interior drop pockets, plus the rear hunter pocket. Eleven pockets total — plus a bonus side pocket in backpack mode to carry extras.

  

  BÆR-Kit Compatible

  Zips Into Your Rain Jacket and Softshell. The front zip connects directly to the BÆRSkin Heavy-Storm Rain Jacket - making the Backpack Hoodie a full 3-in-1 warm and waterproof build. Warm when it's cold. Waterproof when it rains. Packed when the sun comes out.

  
  

  Cold Start. Warm Finish. Rain in Between. The Hoodie That Adapts to Your Entire Day.

  Scenario 1: The Morning Dog Walk

  6AM: 36°F. Hoodie on. Zipped up. Essential.

  8AM: 58°F. Sun's out. Hoodie off. Stuffed into itself. Slung on your back. Afternoon walk continues — hands free for the lead, the coffee, and the poop bags.

   Scenario 2: The Hike

  Trailhead at 7AM: cold enough for a fleece layer. Two miles in and 1,000 feet up: sweating. Stuff the hoodie into its hunter pocket. Sling it on your back. Bonus pocket holds your phone and a snack bar. Keep climbing without overheating or losing a layer.

   Scenario 3: The Commute

  Walk to the station: hoodie weather. Packed train: sauna weather. Stuff the hoodie into backpack mode before you board. No sweaty fleece draped over your lap. No balled-up hoodie taking up a seat. Walk to the office with it slung over your shoulder.

   Scenario 4: The Full Weather Day

  7AM: cold. Hoodie on. 10AM: rain starts. Zip on the Heavy-Storm Rain Jacket over the hoodie. Noon: rain stops, sun comes out, warming up. Unzip the rain jacket, pack it into its own pocket, slide it inside the hoodie-backpack. 1PM: too warm for the hoodie. Stuff the hoodie into the backpack too — rain jacket already inside. Sling it on. Your entire weather system is on your back. Hands free. Day continues.

  
  

  Legendary 210gsm BÆRSkin™ MicroFleece. The Mid-Weight Sweet Spot That Handles Three Seasons.

  Most hoodies come in two weights: too thin for anything real, or too heavy for anything above 45°F. 

  The BÆRSkin Backpack Hoodie sits at 210gsm - the mid-weight sweet spot. Warm enough for cold mornings, light enough to wear actively without overheating, and perfectly weighted for the pack-down conversion. 

  Anti-pill construction means the fleece stays smooth and clean wash after wash. No pilling. No bobbling. Never worn out.

  • 210gsm mid-weight fleece - warm for cold mornings, breathable for active days.
  • Anti-pill bonded fleece - stays looking new, not matted and cheap.
  • Moisture-wicking - handles light sweat without becoming a damp sponge.
  • Three-season versatility - spring, autumn, and mild winter. Add the rain jacket for wet days.
  
  

  Don't Just Get a Backpack Hoodie. Get a Hoodie That Performs in The Wild.

  The backpack conversion gets the headlines. But this is still a BÆRSkin hoodie - and every BÆRSkin detail is here.

  With over 1 Million BÆRSkin Hoodies sold worldwide since 2019, here's our winning formula for WILD COMFORT: 

  • Windsulation (TM) Adjustable Hood - Bungee cord and toggles let you cinch it tight in wind or driving rain.
  • Windsulation (TM) Adjustable Hem - Bungee cord and toggles seal the bottom against wind updrafts.
  • Windsulation (TM) Adjustable Cuffs - Rubber tab adjustment keeps wrists sealed. No cold air up your sleeves.

  • Full Zip Chafe Guard - Protects your chin and neck from zip irritation. All-day zip-up comfort.
  • Full-Length Storm Flap - Runs the entire length of the front zip. Doubles your wind protection.
  • Easy Hanger Loop - Hang it properly. Maintain the shape. Small detail, long-term payoff.
  
  

  Zips Into The Heavy-Storm Rain Jacket. Both Pack Into One Sling Bag on Your Back.

  We just improved the hydrostatic head waterproof rating of our rain jacket to 20,000mm. That's elite-level protection - enough to handle heavy, sustained rain and snow while staying breathable.

  And now, the Heavy-Storm Rain Jacket packs into the BÆRSkin Backpack Hoodie.

  Step 1: Cold morning — wear the hoodie. Need rain protection? Zip on the Heavy-Storm Rain Jacket.

  Step 2: Rain stops — unzip the rain jacket, pack it into its own pocket, slide it inside the hoodie-backpack's main compartment.

  Step 3: Too warm for the hoodie? Stuff the hoodie into backpack mode with the rain jacket already inside.

  Step 4: Your entire weather system — hoodie + rain jacket — is now a sling bag on your back. Hands free. Day continues.

  • Adjustable wrist + waist toggles to block out the wind and rain.
  • 100% Waterproof front zip and storm flap sealed with silicone.
  • Fully adjustable hood with a brim that shields your eyes and stays tight.
  
  

  Cold, Rain, Wind or Snow. Your Perfect Fit is Right Here.

  The best outdoor garments fit snugly without tightness, have a great square profile and never get too baggy around the waist or arms. Get your ideal size by measuring your chest size. The Heavy-Storm Rain Jacket is designed to fit perfectly over the hoodie below it.

  • Step 1 - Measure Your Chest: Wrap the tape measure across your chest, under your armpits, and around your back.
  • Step 2 - Keep it Level: Ensure the tape is horizontal around your body, avoiding any dips at the back.
  • Step 3 - Find Your Size: Match your measurement with our size chart and BOOM - the perfect hoodie fit is yours.

  You Asked. We Answered.

  How does the Backpack Hoodie convert into a backpack?

  Flip the hoodie inside out into the rear hunter pocket. The pocket holds the entire hoodie. Pull out the hidden strap from inside the pocket and sling it over your shoulder or across your back like a satchel. Takes about 10 seconds. A bonus side pocket is accessible when in backpack mode for your phone, keys, or wallet.

  Is the backpack strap comfortable to wear?

  Yes - the strap is designed for comfortable cross-body or shoulder carry. The packed hoodie is lightweight at 210gsm, so the load is minimal. You'll barely notice it's there.

  Does the Backpack Hoodie zip into the Heavy-Storm Rain Jacket?

  Yes. The front zip is BÆR-Kit compatible and connects directly to the Heavy-Storm Rain Jacket and the 3L Softshell, making it a 3-in-1 system. Hoodie alone for cold. Zipped into rain jacket for wet. Zipped into softshell for serious weather.

  What's the difference between this and the 340gsm BÆRSkin Hoodie?

  The 340gsm is heavier, warmer, and built for colder conditions. The Backpack Hoodie is 210gsm - a mid-weight fleece designed for three-season use and active wear. The key difference: the Backpack Hoodie packs into its own backpack when you don't need it. The 340gsm doesn't.

  What is anti-pill fleece?

  Anti-pill fleece resists the small fabric balls (pills) that form on regular fleece after washing and wear. Standard fleece pills quickly and looks worn out within weeks. Anti-pill fleece stays smooth, clean, and new-looking wash after wash.

  How many pockets does the Backpack Hoodie have?

  12 pockets in hoodie mode: 3 front zip pockets, 2 arm zip pockets, 2 interior zip pockets, 3 interior drop pockets, and 1 rear hunter pocket. Plus 1 bonus side pocket accessible in backpack mode - 12 total storage zones.

  Is the hunter pocket noticeable when wearing the hoodie?

  No. The hunter pocket sits flat against your lower back and is undetectable during normal wear. You won't feel it or see it until you need it.

  Can I wash the Backpack Hoodie normally?

  Yes. Machine wash on a cold, delicate cycle with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners to maintain fleece performance. Air dry for best results. The anti-pill construction means it maintains its quality through regular washing.

  What's the best use case for the 210gsm weight?

  The 210gsm mid-weight is ideal for spring mornings, autumn hikes, active outdoor days, travel, and any situation where temperatures might change. It's warm enough for cold starts but light enough that you won't overheat - and when you do warm up, it packs into its own backpack.

  Do you have a women's Backpack Hoodie?

  Please check our current range for women's sizing availability. Our size chart will help you find the perfect fit.

  Can the rain jacket fit inside the hoodie-backpack?

  Yes. Pack the Heavy-Storm Rain Jacket into its own pocket first, then slide it into the main compartment of the hoodie-backpack. Both pieces travel together in one sling bag on your back. Your entire weather system packed and carried hands-free.

  Can I return my product?

  Yes, of course. We run a 60-day return window on all orders.
