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.

Comfortable but..., April 21, 2009
This review is from: Champion Men's Double Dry Classic Fleece Full Zip Hood (Apparel)
Comfortable but the sizes came MUCH bigger than I expected. I will try to shrink it but make sure you order a size smaller.

Great jacket and very pleased, May 27, 2010
This review is from: Champion Men's Double Dry Classic Fleece Full Zip Hood (Apparel)
I needed a new jacket to replace my old one, which was rather flimsy and had a frustrating zipper. This jacket seemed to be what I was looking for so I placed my order.
The jacket is constructed really well, and doesn't seem flimsy or cheap, despite it having a very cheap price. The material isn't thin, but not too thick, but that is what I was wanting. A light spring or fall jacket for when it rains. The drawstrings on the hood are fairly thick compared to some jackets with just a cheap string attached. Also the zipper seemed to be constructed well and appeared to be fairly durable.
I know there are complaints about the sizes being off and it being too large. I normally wear a 2X shirt, and after reading some comments decided to order the 1X jacket. It fits perfectly, so you may want to order 1 size smaller than you normally wear. I don't think the 2X would have been extremely large, but I like my clothes loose fitting anyway.
All in all, it's a good jacket at a great price. Not meant for really cold weather, but that should be pretty obvious when ordering this type of jacket anyway.
