Super soft fabric and great fitting sweatshirt! Got this for my teenage son and he loves it. I have never gotten this brand before but I would buy it again. He is 14 and we got a men ’s small. The logo looks nice as well!

5 JMmom32
This is very well, thick and cozy hooded sweatshirt. I think it would be great for fall and winter outdoor activities like hiking, camping, going to football games, etc. Color is a pretty dusky, medium blue, appropriately named Mountain lake. I ’ m a smaller woman so the small is a little big on me but still comfy and wearable. Great sweatshirt for outdoors men or women.

Super comfy sweatshirt that is nicely oversized. I am usually a women ’s M but I ordered a men ’s large and love how it fits! It ’s a thicker material and feels very well made. The material is also very soft and comfortable.

Received the Alpine Design Men's Logo Fleece Hoodie and its everything as its described and more. The Fleece is warm and moveable in while wearing. The quality of the fleece is outstanding and will be looking to purchase more of these items.

5 Stacy O.
When I received my hoodie i was expecting it to be just like any other one. To my surprise I was happily wrong. This Alpine hoodie was super soft, comfortable and streatchy. I ordered a XL. Thinking it would never fit me. But it did. I did n't feel confined. Being stretchy it also fit my youngest, that is smaller than me, and still looked nice.

I 've had mine for a few months and have gotten to wear it a few times. It's been everything I 've ever wanted in a wool sweater; warm, hefty, soft, and cozy.+ It feels solid. I 'm tempted to describe it as `` heavy '', but you really do n't feel any kind if weight when wearing it; it's just closer to feeling like a blanket than a shirt, and this is a good thing+ The wool is soft. It's not as soft as fine merino or alpacca or rabbit fur, but it's far from a scratchy old blanket or shirt. I 'd say it's closest to these soft, cable- knit cotton blankets my grandparents have. I found no irritation with it against my skin.+ It's warm! I first wore it over a t shirt and under my Greenland No. 1 Special Edition( just G- 1000, no insulation) on a brisk 15°F day. It kept me comfortably warm on my walk.+ It looks really nice, nice enough to wear with more proper business clothes.- There is n't much to complain about, besides the depth of the pocket; it's a little shallow( my iPhone 7 sticks out a little) and the button can be a little hard to get open at first. Overall, it's a great sweater, and a go- to for when I 'm trying to beat a brisk winter day.

5 Schtoobin
M/ 36- 6' 4 ''/ 200 lb.- My go- to cold weather sweater. Thick, warm, and understated. I just shave the wool pills once per season. I am confident this is a piece I can hand down to my children. Large size fits me well, but is pretty fitted. Size up if you 'd like a little more room.

5 Duke
[ I got this sweater for my birthday and it has been perfect in this chilly weather. It does fit a bit on the small size so I exchanged it and went one size up. Breathable but keeps you warm.

5 sfrat
[ I bought this a month ago. Great fit. Really warm. Color is accurate to the website. Good quality. No complaints. Highly Re commended. Enjoy.

5 Patrick
[ Picked this up right before a camp I had in March. Temps dropped down to low 20s and it paired with a base layer kept me warm through the day. It ’s a nice looking sweater as well. a little bigger through the torso for a large but the fit across my back is perfect. Im 5 ’ 9 and 180. I think my only qualm would be it pills quite a bit compared to other sweaters I have by Fjallraven.

5 OR Employee - Mikey J - Customer Service
So, everyone loves a good hoodie, and this might be the perfect shoulder season hoodie. It's been a beautiful spring so far here in the PNW; cold in the mornings, but still kind of chilly in the afternoon. This hoodie is perfect for this weather. It's nice and warm in the morning, but does n't seem to over heat when the sun hits it. A perfect hoodie for around the fire or those early morning inconvenient coffee bike meetups. The only low point of the hoodie is that it's sizing is a little on the smaller side. Fit's a little more like an XL than a XXL Other than that, it might be my new favorite hoodie.

5 A
This is hands down the softest hoodie I have ever owned. I do n't ever want to take it off. Its light which is great cause you do n't get to warm in it compared to traditional hoodies due to the the high quality materials used. I wish they had more colors cause I need one for everyday of the week

5 noah44
I like this hoodie a lot and the material feels great. Size up for correct fit unless you like it more tight fitting. I usually wear an XL and like them to be a little longer. This XXL is perfect( fits like an XL). OR please restock sizes! I would buy another grey one and black would be a nice option too.

5 NuffEspresso
I must say, I never thought I 'd replace my R1 as I 've had two. I took a shot on this because there was no zipper when in Balaclava mode. I live in this now! I 'm 6' 0, 175# and went with a Medium, I wanted to make sure it was form fitting and it is excellent. I 'll be wearing this as long as weather allows.

5 Steve
I am 5'10 '' and 160lbs and medium fits well. It is perfect snug level to fit under a lightweight down jacket and shell ski jacket in CO. It is more snug than I would want for an everyday shirt, which is maybe why some did n't like this? The hood and neck keeps me warm without choking me. It is super comfortable. I would recommend it.

5 Pete
I 've had this for two winters now and it's a great insulating layer. I prefer fleece when active for the breathability. This one is thick enough as an outer when there's no wind. Excellent design, with two chest pockets and a kangaroo/hand warmer pocket. Since it's a pullover, field repair is much simpler than a jacket, since it's usually the zipper. But with this pullover being so well built, probably wo n't be needed until you 've had it a while or put it to very hard use.
