This sweatshirt fits well. Zipper in front is a desirable feature, easier to get on and off. The hood protects the head especially on windy days. It is warm yet light-weight.
Purchased it in a couple of colours and find it very comfortable and good looking for a casual jacket. Not as warm as I thought but not bad when layered over other sweaters. Good in above freezing weather.
I LOVE this sweatshirt jacket. I chose the men's over the women's because it looked heavier (warmer) and I prefer boxy over fitted. It is very warm, soft, and comfortable. The size is generous. I ordered large, in spite of the fact that I'm a size 12, because I wanted to be able to wear a sweater under it. Large was HUGE, so I exchanged it for a medium, which is perfect. I feel like I never take it off right now. Thanks, LL Bean!
