This is more than a hoodie. The sleeves are lined so your arms are comfortable. It's much heavier than what you'd expect so it keeps you warm. The hood is oversized and very comfortable. If it could be improved on at all, it would have a draw string near the bottom to create a snug fit. I love mine...
I am wearing the sweatshirt now while writing this review. The sweatshirt is similar to the basic hooded one, BUT,this one is much more comfortable . It has thicker fleece thruout , the sleeves are lined with a silky material that feels great when you slip into them. There are also hidden velcro pockets within the existing pockets that make it much better to hold keys or even a cell phone without worry of it falling out.
I love this sweatshirt. I bought it for my husband for fishing and sailing. I tried it on and it is so luxurious because of the lining. They do not make it for women so I ordered a men's small. It is on backorder and now I understand why. If you could make these for women in say, pink or lilac, I would buy them! By the way my husband loves the sweatshirt too!
An excellent item to include for short trips to the Coasts where the weather can change constantly. Good rugged quality, colour and style. Excellent value and warmth.
