# Janji Rover Merino Hoodie

**Verdict:** A warm, stretchy merino-blend hoodie that works as a standalone top on cool days or a midlayer when it's cold; the snug hood is the highlight, but testers found it picks up odor fast when worn next to skin.

- **Best for:** Runners who want a hooded midlayer that can also be the only top on cool fall days.
- **Not for:** Anyone wanting a reflective night-running layer or pure-merino odor resistance for repeat wears.
- **Downsides:** Gets smelly quickly when worn against the skin, per iRunFar; No reflective details listed; Only 37% merino in the blend

- Named it the best midlayer shirt for winter running ($136): warm, stretchy and good at moving sweat, with a scuba hood that holds in wind, thumbholes and a hem pocket; the main gripe was that it picks up odor quickly next to skin.
