Excellent hoodie December 14, 2008
Adrian Tan (Chandler, AZ)
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.
nice zip hoodie September 7, 2008
Consumer extraordinaire (Detroit)
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!
