I love these hoodies. I have 4 in different colors. They are comfortable. Warm but not bulky. I think I'd prefer side pockets rather than the pouch but a great top either way.

Weather reports can make for wild roller coasters. One frosty morning can turn to a brief bit of warmth and shine, only for an icy front to blow in before the end of the day. Which means flexible layering is a key part of your outdoor kit, and little else tops a Crosslayer Hoodie for versatility. Wear it like a mid-layer sweatshirt, and the grid fleece interior holds enough heat to ward off the chill while the built-in flex keeps you moving freely. When temps get icy, wear it as a base layer – the smooth outer face prevents bunching and binding, and the recycled polyester fabric efficiently wicks sweat to outer layers so you never freeze up. It’s natural adaptation for whatever nature is throwing at you.

I washed before wearing as I do all my clothes after trying them on. I use non scented/clean laundry soap. I found it itchy on my arms first wearing. The inside has a different bumpy textured lining than I've seen DT have before. I returned the top due to this. I have SEVERAL DT tops and pants from 7+ years. Pretty much all I wear and gift. Would recommend-the itching is probably just me.
I own three of these in different colors. I can wear them alone or as a layer. I also love the zippered pocket which doesn't stick out. The only negative is that the sleeves could be two inches longer.
Last year, I had purchased a gray one like these. When I saw they had the pink and blue in my size, (I'm a "plus"), I ordered one of each. I had lost a little weight, so I was able to size down. The colors (blue and pink) are just great. Not so much the dismal gray altho if I put a "funky" necklace with it, it's okay. The material feels good. I hope to have a lot of use out of these. They are the perfect weight - not too warm but yet keeps you warm in cooler weather. I also like that Duluth Trading Co. has a liberal return policy so I can return in a timely manner if I have the need. I returned two of the larger ones yesterday. The lady at the return desk in Oshkosh was super nice.
Liked the fit and feel. Did not like the lining in the hood (same as inside garment, which was fine). It was not appealing looking when exposed, as part of a hood always is. Did not like the tie to the hood on one side, rather in the middle. Because of those 2 reasons, I returned it. I wanted to wear it for sports as well as to look nice afterward.
