An extremely warm, durable and comfortable sweatshirt (can be worn as a jacket). I especially like the Velcro pockets within the regular pockets for keys, blackberry and wallet. Unfortunately, it needs a larger hood (it barely covers my head) to get the 5 star rating it deserves. Well worth the long wait and even with the tiny little hood, it's still a keeper.
I bought this for my 13 year sold. He gets a "hoodie" every year and has his requirements. My requirements were that it be heavier and last longer. We both fell in love with this hoodie. It will keep him warm without all of the bulk and heaviness and washes well.
My son can't stand the feel of nylon but loves this soft, warm sweatshirt. I thought the slick material in the sleeves might bother him but he says it makes it easy for him to take it off--his shirt sleeves don't get stuck.
