and holy crap is it soft
Fits really well, and holy crap is it soft. I got one in red and the colours is very pleasant and vibrant without being too bright. The outside is has a great feel but then I got to the lining, wow, I wanna sleep on this. Seems pretty sturdy and well made, didn't arrive with a lot of loose threads or sloppy manufacture. It's not very thick, so it's perfect if like me, you work in an office building that's out of touch with the temperature inside the building.My only negative is that the front pockets are a little shallow; I am not sure I would trust something not to pop out during a brisk walk or jog. This is a very minor issue to me, but others my find this a problem. I am still giving this a 5-star because I am overall very satisfied.

Excellent hoodies
I'm very picky about my hoodies, but these ones are just about perfect. They're probably not the most durable hoodies you can buy (though I have not owned them for long enough to really judge), but what they lack in (likely) durability, they make up for in pure comfort and a snug fit. They're extremely soft and hug the body well, so they're really good for layering and wearing under a warmer coat, etc. Arm length is excellent, waist band sits where I like it--not too low--and the body is not baggy/billowy. Keep in mind these hoodies are designed to be snug, so if you're looking for a bigger fit, get a size bigger, though realistically you should just buy a different brand or style. I've got 3 of these now and they're my go-to hoodies!

Good initial impression
I received my red hoodie today, so this review is more of a first impression. I shall update my review if any of my initial opinions change.FIT: The Rocky fits me perfectly right out of the package. Most jackets I buy are too loose for my tastes. This one feels fitted. At 6’6” and about 210 lbs, a large is slim enough to suit me and long enough to not look like I’m wearing a child’s jacket. That’s a common problem I find, which causes me to buy the XL. That’s why they’re usually loose. (If you’re built similarly to me and you aren’t crazy about tight-fitting clothes, choose XL.)QUALITY: Initial quality impressions are fairly good. The material is soft, but the zipper doesn’t feel very solid. Other reviewers have complained about broken zippers as well as piling immediately after wash. We shall see.OVERALL: I quite like this jacket pre-wash. I’m not terribly picky, and this hoodie is reasonably priced for what it feels like I’m getting. And it’s warm.

My favorite sweater
I got my first Alternative sweater in 2018. Wore it moderately then gave it heavy daily wear from 2021-present. This is my to-go sweater especially for my job. It’s comfortable and feels like me. I finally decided to replace it with an identical one. I’m so glad I was able to find an exact one on Amazon.

Perfect fit for slender teenage son. Great quality.
This review is for the same jacket in black and in camo green. What they call black is charcoal gray heather. The green color in the photo is very close to the real thing - kind of a sage green heather, not saturated. My teenage son is tall and slender and this jacket fits very well. I have returned jackets of this type because of weird styling, such as the jacket bulged out before coming in at the band around the bottom, creating a pear-like body shape. But this jacket has a slim body that is shaped correctly. The fabric is a little heavier than we hoped (we were looking for a lightweight jacket for fall and spring) but the fabric is not thick or heavy - it is a medium weight. Not too hot, not too cool. My son has worn this every day for the last 8 weeks and I have washed it once a week. Basically still seems new, no pilling of the fabric. I'm happy that it has a YKK zipper - they are the best brand so that tells me the company is conscientious of quality.

3 months to garbage
I bought this in two different colors 3 months ago. Initially, I was quite pleased with how it fit (I sized up as per other reviews), the comfort of it and look. But fast forward to now and I'm ready to throw them in the trash. They've just become misshapen and sloppy. I don't have pilling like others have experienced, but the elastic at the waist is basically gone (I'm a slim guy, it just gets stretched from wearing), the fabric slumps. They just look like crap now. I have hoodies I bought a decade ago that are in nicer shape than these. The only thing I can figure is that they've been washed fairly often, but that shouldn't take this much of a toll on a garment so quickly.

Cotton feels GREAT. Definitely a big perk
I usually just buy cheap Nike or Russell zip up hoodies, but took a chance on this product during a "lightning sale". I was inspired by the reviews.I've worn it about 5 times, using it as day-off hoody. Its had 1 wash in cold water; delicate drying cycle.Highs: Cotton feels GREAT. Definitely a big perk. Still pretty "fluffy" after 1 wash in cold water. Fit is nice; I ordered a XL to make it lounge-y, and it has a great fit.In-between: The cotton creates a lot of "shedding"; or little balls on the surface of the clothing. I assume this is the nature of the soft cotton they used. Not a deal breaker.Lows: The zipper fell apart. I decided to bring this hoody on vacation with me; as it was still pretty new. While completing the strip search they call airline security, the bottom metal part of the zipper flew off. I don't know the terminology, but its the metal "male" part on the bottom of the zipper. I wasn't being abusive... just unzipping... and it flew off. It doesn't even make sense, as it is a part of the zipper that shouldn't be receiving a lot of stress....It looks like the glue they used to attach the zipper to the fabric was just cheap, or maybe it just wasn't allowed to set right? I dunno. Honestly, I've never seen this happen on article of clothing before.. Cheap cheap cheap. Now I'm on vacation, and going to have to replace my hoody. Awesome!!!Verdict: I feel ripped. Build quality issues make me regret spending the extra $ on this. Lasted me all of 3 weeks of light use.

Good quality. Very nice
Good quality. Very nice, soft, material. Fits slightly slim and long (as most higher end tops do). I'm 5'11" and 150 lbs and it fits perfectly.

Buen producto
El producto esta a un precio regular, el tono es un poco mas tirando a GRIS OSCURO, DEFINITIVAMENTE NO ES NEGRO por ello solo le doy 4 estrellas, me agrado porque es muy ligera para poder andar cargando, aunque la tela se siente delgada ya a la hora de usarla, la recomiendo para una mañana fría pero no para frios intensos.mido 1.71 y peso 72 Kg, tengo complexión atlética la talla Chica me quedo muy bien
