Task "Pitch Late. Leave Early. Leave No Trace." Unisex Hoodie

The Pitch Late. Leave Early. Leave No Trace. Hoodie is a Task Outdoor original for wild campers who know the unwritten rules: arrive after the day walkers have gone home, be packed and away at first light, and leave the ground as you found it. The print sits large across the back: a retro British fell scene with a small tent glowing on a grassy knoll above a quiet tarn, a camper sat in the doorway, Scots pines on one side, a wind-bent tree and an old drystone wall on the other, a craggy fell behind and a couple of sheep grazing on the hillside.

"Pitch late. Leave early." is hand-lettered above the scene, with "Leave no trace." underneath, and the picture has rough, worn edges and a light screen-print texture, so it reads as a vintage outdoor print rather than a sticker. The front is kept plain, so the scene is on show to whoever is walking behind you on the path. It is the layer to pull on when the sun drops behind the fell and the tent is up, and it makes a good gift for the friend who is always first up and packed.

It is printed on a Cotton Heritage M2580 premium pullover hoodie, with a smooth 100% cotton face, a soft fleece lining, a three-panel hood and a front pouch pocket, and a Task Outdoor label printed inside the neck instead of a scratchy tag. It comes in nine colours in sizes S to 2XL. Each hoodie is printed to order, so it takes a little longer to dispatch than our stock items.
