Women’s Classic Squak – Grid Fleece Mid-Layer Hoodie
Why We Made This
Your go‑to layer for pretty much everything.
The Classic Squak is a mid‑weight grid fleece built for movement, comfort, and long days outside. Made from breathable polyester grid fleece, it wicks moisture, flexes with you, and keeps you warm without overheating. Whether you’re hiking all day, hanging at camp, or cruising around town, this is the layer you’ll keep reaching for.
The oversized front pocket swallows gloves, snacks, or cold hands, while thumbholes and an adjustable hood help seal in warmth when the temps drop.

Love this fleece hoodie. Fit is perfect. I ordered a med. My chest is 36B. Not boxy and not too tight. Cozy sweater
Thanks for the review! This helps others looking to order a Squak. Ahd thanks for joining the Squak Crew.
I love the generous hood and adjustability, it fits over thick braided hair. Not sure on how stretchy the material is compared to my other grid fleece this is replacing. I can’t decide if it feels more luxurious or flimsy. I’d say it’s a tiny bit too long for my torso. The thumb holes are well placed and don’t cause rotation or pulling of the sleeve.
Thanks Mary for the honest and detailed feedback. Reviews like this help us shape our products! Excited to see how it does as you continue to use it! Keep Rockin the Squak!
My friends had told me about their grid fleeces for a while now and I am so glad I finally got myself one! It kept me cozy on my flight to Colorado and was the perfect layer to have on for hikes in the windy mountains! Could not be happier!
Thanks for trusting your friends, and us ;) So glad it worked great for your Colorado adventures! Here’s to many wonderful adventures ahead!
What I love most is that this is the cut/design of this fleece. It is not bulky, and therefore comfortable to wear under my fishing waders and a 30lb backpack. So many fleece mid layers are lumpy and bunch in my waders or under my backpack's hip belt, but not this one! Additionally, the thoughtfully designed toggle for the cowl hood is to the side, so it's not whipping me in the face when it's windy. I get plenty of warmth from the fleece, but the waffling allows for some modest ventilation as well, which is welcome on tough ascents with aforementioned loaded pack. I have long arms and absolutely love it that I can use the thumb holes without feeling as though my circulation is getting cut off! This alder red is a lovely color coupled with a flattering fit and comfort makes this mid layer one I wear for all outdoor activities! 5'9" 165lbs
Thanks for such a kind and detailed review! We love to hear that the Squak is hitting so many boxes for you! That is what we want to hear. The slimmer fit is something we intentionally wanted so it would work well with other gear. It sounds like you have tested it on a lot of different types of outdoor adventures, especially fishing and backpacking. Thanks for taking us along on your adventures!
I've worn my Squak Grid Crewneck in multiple conditions at this point, and I love it! Super comfortable and light layer. It comes with me on all camping trips.
We are so happy to hear that you have been enjoying it in various conditions and that it has become a staple on your camping trips. We strive to provide comfortable and versatile products, and we are thrilled that it has met your expectations. Thank you for choosing our brand. Happy adventuring!
