You can live without a hand-warming pouch, but why would you want to, especially when you can have one in toasty, fleecy Synchilla® fabric. Made from 7.6-oz double-faced recycled-polyester fleece, with an ample kangaroo-style pouch for stashing necessities and cold hands, and a hidden stash pocket for stuff only you need to know about. Unzip the front for ventilation and easy on/off. Plus, it's 100% recyclable through the Common Threads Recycling Program.
