Tarmac Sherpa Hood adds warmth, coverage, and UPF protection for cold-weather missions
What Our Gearhead® Experts Are Saying:
"I like using this hood on storm days when I need extra coverage beyond my jacket collar. The sherpa fleece is cozy, the merino mouth flap keeps things breathable, and it even fits comfortably under a helmet. It’s one of those small pieces that makes a big difference when the weather turns."
We throw on the 686 Tarmac Sherpa Hood when the mountains demand extra warmth and protection. Made from plush polyester sherpa fleece, it delivers cozy insulation while still offering stretch for mobility. The helmet-compatible design means it fits easily under our go-to snow lid, keeping us covered without compromise.
For stormy laps or chilly lift rides, the merino wool blend mouth flap adds breathable coverage that wicks moisture and resists odors. Backed by Hyprotecht® by HEIQ®, it provides added protection when we’re exposed to the elements. And with UPF 50+ sun defense, this versatile hood isn’t just for midwinter—it’s a year-round layer we can count on for warmth, coverage, and comfort.

Doesn’t really fit how I
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Doesn’t really fit how I thought it would so haven’t taken tags off, planning on exchanging for a different one.

One of, if not the best helmet hood
This hood works very well over helmets. The face mask works exceptionally well and it doesn't feel like you're suffocating through a thick face mask. The double layer merino wool does a great job of being breathable and protecting the face

Quality and style
High quality construction and materials. Stylish design:call_me_hand::skin-tone-4: fit over the helmet is perfect. Tight enough to protect the face but still unrestricted.

Warm and comfy
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Used my friend's hood for a week of skiing in Tahoe and it was so warm and comfortable I had to buy my own for this ski season.

Great quality like all 686
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Great quality like all 686 g EA r and the only reason it’s not 5 stars is cause this only fits over a helmet. Without a helmet its way to loose but again I think they state that in the description

Loved it but ripped first day
This thing feels nice but the face mask part started ripping away from the hood on the first day out.

Not a fan
I love 686 gear but this hood is just not comfortable. Materials are great but I just do not like the elastic band keeping the face mask up. Just makes for an awkward fit and the string pulls into my face.
