No Days Off with Tracksmith’s Wind-Block Mockneck

The NDO Wind-Block Mockneck is a really unique item – almost a hybrid casual / running option that is as functional as it is classic.

The look is simple and straightforward. No, there is not emblazoned logo strewn across the chest – a la options with an alma mater or sports logo. There is the standard sash that runs diagonally – in the same color, but with a different construction – that whissssspers that it’s a Tracksmith – but doesn’t scream it in your face.

The construction is anything but straightforward. Somehow this does a really amazing job at blocking the wind while staying surprisingly lightweight. Last month, I took a short family jaunt to Washington and forgot two things – a belt (that’s another story) and a jacket.

Normally the latter wouldn’t be a “huge” issue in Washington, but for two of the three days there we were met with clear blue skies…and mid-low 30’s with wind temps. Luckily I had randomly brought along the Wind-Block Mockneck and boy did it come in handy. We had multi-block walks to get to our destinations and this top kept me covered and warm – all things considered.

I was provided with ample coverage on the arms and torso. While it became (out of necessity) a casual top, this has become a great running top the past few weeks as well. It looks great in both settings and provides a level of comfort that I am here for. This top has impressed me a lot.

The NDO Wind-Block Mockneck comes in 2 colors.
