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.

Fit note: The Squak has an athletic/slim fit. If you’re between sizes or prefer a roomier feel, we recommend sizing up.
Turn your garment inside out, wash gently with cool water and mild detergent. Air-dry when you can, or use low/no heat in the dryer. Skip the bleach, softeners, high heat, or dry cleaning — your gear’s got enough adventure as it is.

Personally, my new Grid Fleece Hoodie in Orange is my 4th Squak. I also have Hoodies in White and Navy and a Black Crewneck. My Wife has a sage Green Hoodie. My Sister and Niece have Maroon Hoodies, My Brother In Law has a Medium Blue Hoodie. That makes 8 Squaks spread throughout our family; and we love each and every one of them. The thermoregulation of the unique Squak inverted grid fleece can keep you comfy inside or outside. We especially like the thumb holes; which aid in putting on an over-layer and also to help keep our hands warm. Comparable grid fleece hoodies run 50% to 100% more expensive; and aren't as nicely feature-laden. We (all of us) plan to expand our collections with other colors; and are anxiously awaiting Squak Beanies Q4 2026.
Thank you for the review. That is so many Squaks! A family that Rocks the Squak together, stays together! We are so glad so many of you love it. We are happy to hear you find the fleece warm and comfy and that you like the thumb holes. That is a small feature, but one that makes a big difference. Thanks for the support and we can't wait to share what is in store soon.
Central NY winters always feature feet of snow, this year accompanied by below zero temperatures, gale force winds, and driving rain. A second grid fleece hoodie from Squak was a no brainer. It’s the perfect choice for harsh winter conditions.
We are thrilled to hear that your Squak has been the perfect choice for the harsh winter conditions in Central NY. Yay for getting a second! Stay warm and stay safe out there! Thanks for the review!
While I cannot speak to the durability as I've only hiked 2 miles wearing the garment, I will say it is very comfortable. Breathable. The quality is exceptional.
I ordered a size L at first, and Squak graciously exchanged it for an XL.
I am 6'2" 210lbs , 44" around the chest at the armpits, 41" around at the belly button. I wear size L shirts and 34 waist 34 inseam pants.
I would say to size up unless you plan to wear it as a base layer. It is more of a slim fit. I reckon it is better insulating with a form fit, so I get why. I am very happy with the size XL though. The sleeves are of adequate length too. Frequently garments that fit me have otherwise too short of sleeves.
Supremely comfortable, and I got a compliment on it the first day I wore it. I imagine I'll be purchasing another of a different color here at some point.
Thank you so much for the thoughtful and detailed review — and for sharing your sizing experience. That’s incredibly helpful for others trying to decide what will work best for them.
We’re glad to hear you’re finding it breathable and supremely comfortable right out of the gate. Even better that you received a compliment on day one! 🙌 We truly appreciate your support. When you’re ready for that next color, we’ll be here!
Perfect mid layer! I have literally put it on everyday since I received it. Im extremely happy with this purchase!
YAY!!! We are so glad you love it. Thanks for giving us a chance and for the review!
this hoodie is so cozy and lightweight and i’m very excited to live in it on my appalachian trail thru hike this year
Staying cozy without the weight is the name of the game when you're living out of a pack.
Happy trails and good luck on the trek Hugo!
