Does the job... December 15, 2008 wanted a cheap hoodie to wear after working out to keep me warm and it does just that...
Excellent hoodie December 14, 2008 This is an excellent value-for-money hoodie from Champion. It is sturdy on the outside, and soft on the inside. The seams, zipper and ties for the hood are well-made and solid. The zipper (full metal) has a bit of a rasp, but I fixed that easily with some wax from a candle. Though the hoodie material seemed light-weight, it can be surprisingly warm, so having a full-zip is perfect for this type of hoodie, just to cool off sometimes. Just to note, it is not exactly a windbreaker (but not meant to be one), so if a really stiff wind is blowing, it can get coldish. The plus side is that because it is of light-weight material, I can also wear it indoors and not get overheated.
The one I bought is a gray, and this comes with an inner dark blue lining for the hood (the inner part of the rest of the hoodie is white). This model gray shade is just perfect because it is dark enough so that not every smudge shows, but it is still light-color enough so that I am visible to cars at twilight when walking or cycling. The size is a perfect fit for me, either with or without a sweater underneath. In conclusion, I found that this model compares well against other hoodies (even against some other Champion models), especially for the price being charged.
Lightweight December 1, 2008 I was hoping for something heavy weight and this definitely isn't. It's a nice sweatshirt for what it is, but definitely not what I had in mind. I'll be returning them.
Size runs extremely large...order at least a size smaller. October 30, 2008 I bought six of these as Christmas gifts and will give to different people than intended. The medium size is bigger than a normal size large so order at least one size smaller. I also ordered sizes large, extra large, and 2X large. The extra large is huge and will easily fit a large person. Shipping was prompt and quality is excellent for the price.
nice zip hoodie September 7, 2008 The double dry fleece sweatshirts from Champion are very comfortable. I have both crew pullovers and now the hoodies, and have been pleased with both. They are a nice, soft, light- to mid-weight sweat, and do seem to stay pretty warm and dry; but be aware these are not heavyweight material.
Also they seem to be good quality construction, and have held up well under cold water washing and low tumble drying. All the ones I have were made in Mexico. Very good value for the price!
