Men’s Maverick – Alpha Ultralight Hoodie (Made in USA)
Why We Made This
Ultralight. American‑made. Built to move.
The Maverick Alpha is proudly made in the USA for people who move fast and pack light. This hoodie delivers warmth without bulk, breathability when you’re working hard, and durability for rugged adventures — all in one versatile layer.
Polartec® Alpha Direct is no ordinary fleece. Originally developed for the U.S. Military, it keeps you warm when you need it and breathable when you don’t, moving with you instead of against you. Whether you’re climbing, backpacking, or chasing horizons, the Maverick Alpha keeps up without weighing you down.
We secured a limited batch of colors and GSMs: 60, 90, and 120 — so you can pick the warmth, weight, and stretch that fit your adventure.

Choose Your GSM
-
60 GSM – Lightest & most breathable, great for high-output days
-
90 GSM –A versatile middle ground. Ideal for most conditions, balancing warmth and breathability.
-
120 GSM – Still ultralight, but offers a bit more warmth and coverage for cooler adventures.
Fit note: The fit mirrors the Classic Squak, except the 120 GSM runs slightly snug due to thicker fabric. If you’re between sizes or prefer a looser fit, size up.
Care Instructions
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.

All of my expectations have been met with this purchase. I was estatic to find this product at a great price. Thank you Squak. I will definitelyshop this company again!
Quite warm, wish it was an inch or two longer but a great deal nonetheless. As a bonus with a few props and a trashcan lid my next halloween costume as oscar the grouch is in the bag!
I have been wearing my Alpha Maverick almost daily. It feels so comfortable and fits great. Perfect for my morning walks in Georgia. These guys are the ones that sent me your way initially. Metro on the Move. You have to watch this video starting at minute 8:50. You can’t stop the Squak!! https://www.youtube.com/live/ZeTqcOdRlxY?si=trodkeTvEvvOOYUn
That is truly incredible feedback!
Good to hear that you've been wearing your Alpha Maverick almost daily, finding it so comfortable and a great fit for your morning walks in Georgia!
My wife and I wore these on our JMT hike in August this year and they are awesome. Very light, small packed size, and shockingly warm for the weight. I'm 5'9 185 lbs and the XL was a comfy fit.
Hey Alex, we are thrilled to hear that you and your wife wore these on your JMT hike in August and found them to be awesome! That's incredible they were so light, small-packing, and shockingly warm for the weight. So glad the XL was a comfy fit for you!
Wow this is my everything base layer! Keeps me warm over my sun hoodie on mountain peaks under my rain gear and in my sleeping bag. So comfortable and fuzzy! I use it on trails, at work, and home. It’s part of my permanent hiking gear! This hoodie is so warm in my sleeping bag down to 20 degrees F. I just wish I had a pair of matching alpha ultralight pants/sweats. So it fits me perfectly not too tight or loose. I’m a woman who loves how men’s medium fits.
Hey there! Stoked to hear the Maverick Ultralight Hoodie has become your everything base layer and a permanent part of your hiking gear! So glad the men's medium is a perfect fit for you!
