What's your workaround?


What we built and why
The problem

Every hood is designed for a head, not a ponytail. So you tuck it under, pile it on top, or leave the hood down. None of those work.

The fix

Two vertical slits cut directly into the center panel of the hood. Your ponytail comes through. The hood stays up. That's it.

The product

Swift Quarter Zip. Active-weight. Built for the trail, the gym, the cold walk from the car. Unisex sizing. Made to move in.

The brand

Fifteen years ago around a campfire, I said out loud: I just need a hole for my ponytail. Nobody built it. So I did. That's Forthright.
