Arborwear Double-Thick Cotton Sweatshirt - Full Zip (For Men)

This hoodie is the ne plus ultra of cold weather gear. Its build is superb and it'll keep you warm through the coldest of nights/days. Its roomy but not baggy and all its components just work from the high quality YKK zipper to the hand warmers (and hand warmers they are, not just mere "hand pockets"). It fits perfectly and runs true to size so order the size you generally wear. The hood is the best part of the hoodie for me. It's large, comfortable and does not inhibit your head at all. When I pull down the hood as far as it will go, it covers everything from my forehead down to my nose, almost like a monks cowl. Very neat, very warm. Now, the web page does say 2nds and, in my case, I can see some slight superficial flaws with the product. They are as follows: 1. Loose threads. There are some ungainly pieces of thread popping up in certain areas, such as the gusseted armpit area and in the interior of the jacket. I worried that this would result in a fragile jacket but everything is holding steady. 2. There's a very small stain on the interior of the jacket where the sleeve connects with the body of the hoodie. The stain's light orange but isn't a big deal at all. 3. There's a narrow strip on the inside of the hoodie, going down the back, that seems to be missing some of its cotton fuzz in relation to the rest of the jacket. Extremely superficial and doesn't have any bearing at all on the warmth of the jacket. And that's it. "Barely perceptible blemishes" is right and at this price, I'd be willing to put up with even greater blemishes. Arborwear is a great company and their standards are very high and it's most likely for this reason that these hoodies are classified as "2nds". My hoodie is perfectly fine and exceeds my expectations. Order this if you want a very warm, durable, and well-fitting hoodie for cheap.

This is a great sweatshirt. Very warm and substantial. The sleeves are just long enough, so if you have longer arms...it may be too short. Very good quality

This item was advertised as a "second", or "slightly imperfect". Apparently the imperfection is that it was packaged and advertised as a Double Thick sweatshirt when in fact it is only Single Thick. The manufacturer makes both thicknesses, and since it is still good quality and these were for gifts, we kept them. Just be aware and clarify, if possible, with customer service before ordering.

Bought a size small for a female. OK but fits too long in body and arms. Wish they made one for women in mind.

This is one serious hoodie. Wore this up to Tahoe in 32 degrees weather. Never got cold. Sizes run a little bit small, and this hoodie needs to definitely be broken in.
