This is my second one - I bought one last year but lost a lot of weight so need a smaller one. I really like it and wear it for most of the winter. It is durable, looks nice and keeps me warm. Can't see not owning one.
I ordered this men's sweatshirt because I had ordered the women's version and on the women's sweatshirt there was no string to tie the hood with. In my opinion, a hood serves no purpose without a way to snug it up. I ordered an extra small men's since I wear a size small in women's. It fits well and has a heavy hood that ties up if you want. It is longer than a female sweatshirt, a bit long for me. It comes down below my hips. I still like it very much and plan to keep it. It is very warm and cozy. The only thing I would change is the lining in the sleeves. I wish they had the same fleece lining as the rest of the sweatshirt. Instead they are lined with a satin-like polyester, which feels cold initally on bare skin...
I received the sweatshirt and gave it a once over. I was impressed with the stiching and attention to detail work on the cuffs & hand warmer pockets. The fit was near perfect. I like the metal zipper. I have had trouble with plastic zippers because they have caused me to discard garments long before necessary. I like the smooth sleves but, wonder if they will be warm in really cold weather. The berber linning on the main body looks to be quite warm. All in all, I feel this is a great value.
