Ultimate Hoody
Date: July 26, 2009
This hoody is the best peice of clothing for any outdoor pursuit. It has kept me warm and dry in all weather conditions across the globe. I love the thumb loops and the tight fitting hood for increased protection from the elements. Even if you're caught without a raincoat the hoody can withstand light drizzle and dries rapidly. It is perfect for bumming around the campsite, climbing a rock face or as a fashionable down town jacket. I am completely convinced that this is the best sweater out there and worth every single penny.
Pros: Rugged, Lightweight, Simple, Good Value, Reliable, Fashionable

Great hoodie for fall/spring
Date: July 13, 2009
I love this hoodie for fall and spring weather. If you get caught in a little drizzle or light snow, this jacket will keep you warm and dry- the moisture just beads off. It's also great for cool summer mornings and evenings. It doesn't breathe, so you wouldn't want to wear it in warm weather. It is sized nicely (I'm a size 12 in most things, am 5'10" tall, and comfortably wear this hoodie in a size L). The sleeves are nice and long, perfect for tall people. I absolutely love that it is lightweight (making it great for layering for winter sports and travel). You get a lot of warmth from such a light, compact garment.
The only real downside of this hoodie is the cost. A hoodie this great should be more affordable so that everyone could have it as a staple in their wardrobe.
I've washed mine countless times and have found that as long as you wash it on a delicate cycle and hang it to dry (as per the instructions on the tag), it will continue to look like new and the zipper will look and perform perfectly.
Pros: Rugged, Lightweight, long long sleeves, resists moisture
Cons: Expensive

Good but not amazing
Date: June 6, 2009
This hoodie isn't too bad -- the thumb holes are great, but the top of the zipper (under your chin) is uncomfortable when zipped up. The zipper has curved a bit from careful machine washing (cold water and hanging to dry).
I would recommend the Slipstream above this any day!
Pros: Lightweight, Warm, Versatile
Cons: Top of zipper is pokey, Zipper curves

Great hoodie for camping & beyond
Date: May 20, 2009
Bought this hoodie as I needed something warmer for camping but also stylish to go out with friends when we visit. I have gotten tons of compliments at work on this & it has kept me quiet warm thru this quite cold spring.
Pros: Nice Color, Versatile, Water Resistant, Warm, High Quality, Flattering, Lightweight, Comfortable

Best purchase ever.
Date: April 25, 2009
This is the sweater to wear when it's not quite cold enough for a jacket, when you need something to throw on when you go out or to wear for your warm up. The only problem is that it's always dirty cause I wear it so frequently. I love the thumb holes and the close fitting hood. As for improvements, maybe more options for patterns (so I could get another one) and have the zipper tucked at the top so it doesn't bug the chin. Great product overall!
Pros: Warm, Lightweight, High Quality, Versatile, Comfortable

Great hoodie!
Date: April 17, 2009
After reading the reviews, I was convinced that I should get this hoodie...I was not disappointed! It's a nice, light hoodie, yet warm at the same time. It is quite costly, but it is totally worth it. Not only is it of good quality and functional, I also get tons of compliments about how stylish it is.
Pros: Warm, Flattering, Lightweight, Water Resistant, High Quality, Comfortable, Blocks Wind, Versatile

Exactly what I wanted
Date: March 6, 2009
This is the most light weight hoodie I've found that is also very warm and wind resistent. It can easily replace two heavier fleece under a parka. The extended sleeves and close fitting hood really keep the chilly air out.
Pros: Lightweight, Nice Color, Warm, Versatile, Comfortable, Water Resistant, High Quality, Flattering

practical
Date: December 26, 2008
I love my new hoody. I wear it all the time and it is so practical and lightweight! The only thing I would change in this hoody is that the seams on the sleeves are a bit uncomfortable since I have sensitive skin.
Pros: Warm, Lightweight, Flattering, Water Resistant, Versatile, Stylish, High Quality

Awesome Hoodie
Date: December 4, 2008
I use this hoodie to wear snow boarding and hiking in the snow. It is really great for layering and always keeps me warm. I really like the cuffs that cover your hands more if it is really cold outside. And the higher collar is a great feature that keeps my chin warm against the bristling wind. I would reccomend this to everyone!
Pros: Comfortable, Flattering, Versatile, Nice Color, Warm, Lightweight

Love this hoody!
Date: November 21, 2008
Great hoody! I love it. Use it for traveling as it doesn't get that dirty, and is warm enough to be a jacket. I have had mine for 6 months and the inside still feels soft as new fleece. It is a bit shorty than I would like but other than that I would recommend it.
Pros: Blocks Wind, Comfortable, Water Resistant, Versatile, Flattering, Lightweight, Warm, Cute, High Quality
Cons: too short

Dream Hoodie
Date: October 26, 2008
I had a hard time laying down [$] for a hoodie as a student but it definitely has paid for itself and I would buy another one if the opportunity arose. I wear this hoodie running, cycling to school in the winter, as an extra layer, by itself, camping etc etc.[...]
Pros: Lightweight, Comfortable, Flattering, Warm, High Quality, Versatile

My favourite hoodie!
Date: June 2, 2008
This is my favourite piece of clothing in my closet! It's my go-to shirt, or sometimes jacket, depending on how I want to wear it. I can wear it under a shell, or alone as a jacket or hoodie. It's so comfortable and the fit is great. I wear it hiking, paddling and casually. Although it's not waterproof, it manages to keep me dry with a moderate amount of rain.
Pros: Lightweight, Water Resistant, Versatile, Flattering, Warm, Comfortable, High Quality
Cons: Wears Quickly

I Love this Hoodie!
Date: January 29, 2008
I love to wear this hoodie...it's getting to the point where I wear it too often! The warmth the hoodie provides is amazing! It features great pockets, a convenient music player slot to feed your mp3 through and listen while out on your adventures, as well as the thumb holds/hand warmers.
The hood is amazing and contours to your head so you are kept warm and cozy.
I love the fact that the outside has been protected so in case you ever spill anything on yourself it just beads right off!
One thing that I would change to make it the ultimate fleece hoodie is protect the zipper at the top, so when you have it done up all the way it doesn't irritate your chin.
Pros: Durable, Good Value, High Quality

Super comfy hoodie
Date: January 16, 2008
Love the material! Comfy, stretchy and warm!
Hand warmers work well and the hoodie even repels rain. I wear it as a base layer when skiing & on it's own for a brisk morning walk!
My favorite hoodie....only wish it came in more colors!
