I bought this hoodie because I was searching for one with zip up pockets to keep my belongings secure. I got an XL because I usually layer it on top. This has exceeded my expectations. There are so many features that every time I put it on I find something new. I would definitely buy this again.

Women's Snagstop Sweats Zip Hoodie
Sold Out Item 72611
Details
Fabric snags are a real drag…so, let's lose 'em. We took our original Snagstop fabric and kept innovating. In addition to quick-dry and anti-snag functionality, the fabric is now water repellent! The slick polyester outer layer is bonded to a soft grid fleece interior – both layers are designed to repel snags. This midweight hoodie's a great option for outdoor work on a breezy day. Cool-weather landscaping, perhaps, or clearing brush? Maybe just a casual stroll through the woods? Relaxing at home? The possibilities are snag-less.
Size
I ordered this hoodie in 2 colors, thinking I'd return the color I liked least - kept them both! Like the long sleeves, the back covers my butt, & the pockets have zippers (nice surprise). I'm 5'9" - 160 lbs. & the large is loose (which is what I prefer). Will be using these at home AND when traveling.
So ~ I'd read all the reviews that said the thumb hold is way too far down the sleeve and that the sleeve is way too long. I've NOT found that to be the case! The sleeve length is just right for me ~ and the doc's office says I'm 5'3". If the sleeves were any shorter, I'd be constrained to move. I got the navy and think the color is lovely. And for the first time ever, I'm actually able to USE a thumb hole and don't end up flipping my thumb out so I can move. Nice jacket!! It does flip out just a tad (though the size small didn't ~ I just like more room) at the bottom back, but I'm going to get that wet and dry it flat. I have a feeling that'll fix it.
I got this at a clearance price and decided to keep it . Like the other reviews say, cuffs are tight, hips are too big. Material bunches up at the zipper which I don't like but it's fine for outside farm work.
Love these zip ups with one exception- the cuffs are too tight. You cannot push them up if you get too warm. You can barely push them up enough to wash your hands. Love the sweatshirt in every other way. Might try the guys one and see if it fits better in the cuffs.
