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 front print is a retro British fell scene: a small tent glowing on a grassy knoll above a quiet tarn, with 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. 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.
