Backcountry.com Siphon Street Full-Zip Hooded Sweatshirt - Men's - 2008 BCS

Wearing it right now. So comfy, looks and feels like cotton, but it is so much more! Trimmer fit, long arms, I am 6'2" 180lbs and the large fits me perfectly. Go bigger on size if you want a roomier fit. I through it in the drier and it did not shrink.

I just picked this thing up from backcountry and I have not been able to take off. It's so comfortable, warm and good looking too. It's great for layering or just hanging out.

Looks like I'm not the only one on here hoping this hoodie gets restocked!
As stated, it feels great, fits great, and has all the right features. I'd buy one of these in each color, plus one of the heavyweight ones. Please bring it back!

I like the style and fit which is similar to most backcountry stuff (I'm 6'2" 180 and the large fits well.) It looks good and I like the thumb holes. -- I got it on sale and I love it, but 110$ is pretty steep for a hoodie, so keep an eye on SAC or for sales.

I'll admit I got it off SAC, not sure I'd pay full price on this item. That being said I LOVE this hoody. I've worn it a few times in mid 30's and felt fine. I just wore it as a mid layer for an alleycat where temps were in the single digits and I was toasty! The hood is a more technical fit so it fit in my shell hood perfectly. It also fit under my bike helmet. The thumb holes kept the sleeves down while I was riding and at the after bar I got comments on it's style as well. I'm 6'1" 190 and the Large fit perfectly. The mesh pockets don't bother me because if it's cold enough that you're concerned about your hands either wear gloves or put on more layers (over or under this trim-fitted piece.)
11-09 Update: I'm loving this piece so much I bought a second one (also off SAC) in blue! My Graphite (really it's black) hoodie of just under a year old has been used a TON and even though I've gone down hard twice off my bike in this thing it's only wear is a little pilling from the one time I threw it in the dryer.

I'm not a big guy, 5'9" 140lbs, so I decided to try the medium out, but got here and it was a little restricting but otherwise great hoody/mid layer. Since it was a little small, I exchanged it for a large, so order a size up. Can't wait for the snow to fly and wear this around campus for those preseason teasers!

Crazy comfy. I basically live in this hoodie. Awesome material keeps the weather at bay. Chest and 2 front pockets are great for stashin whatever. Fits great and looks unbelievable. Wish you guys were still making these! i'd order at least another 2!

When this jacket first came, I didn't take it off for almost a whole week. It feels great against the skin and it kept me warm on some days in the 30s just running around town. That being said, I got this for 50 bucks of steepandcheap and I would NEVER pay full price for it. I love the thing, but 110 for a mainly casual, mainly polyester hoody? You have got to be kidding me. If you can find a good deal on it, grab one quick. If not, I'm not sure this is worth it

The best hoody I've owned yet! Has a nice tailored athletic fit that isn't baggy like other hoodies. I love having a breast pocket for my Blackberry and the zippered waist pockets are nice for my car keys when I'm out for a quick backpack-less hike in the winter. I'm 5'10" 170lbs average build and normally buy a medium but after reading others reviews I ordered a large and its a perfect fit.

Very comfortable, warm, well made, great hood, easily the best looking hoodie I own. Clearly it's made for streetwear, I knew that before I bought it and am very happy with my purchase (especially for the price!). My only complaints are: zippers could use zipper pulls cause they are so small, the hand pockets are mesh which doesn't help if you want to keep your keys in them or even your hands without gloves on. Other then that, I would like to have seen some adjustability in the bottom. I give them a 4.5 overall. I normally buy Medium, but went with a Large and it fits perfect 6'0 150lbs medium build

I bought this in May 2009 purchasing gear for an excursion on the AT and have pretty much worn the hoodie straight since then. I am 5'5 185 lbs and the medium fits me great. The pockets are deep and items do not fall out even when the zippers are open. The drawstrings of the hood are great, though I do not wear it over my head often. I am also an avid cyclist and have been riding with it around the streets of Philadelphia during the recent cold months of October and November, but it has not really stood well against the wind on its own. Works as a layer, but will not work as a stand alone on a chilly windy night.

I would agree with Even Stevens, you could live in this shirt!!! I am 6'5" 220 lbs and I bought an XL in the graphite. The shirt fits perfect. The length is great (and I always have problems with the length on shirts. The sleeve cuff is really nice if you don't want to use the thumb holes. It is warm and comfortable. I think I am going to order another one right now. Thirty two dollars!! You can't beat that price!

Great hoody, I'm 5'11'' 185 and the XL was a good fit for me. I would never pay $109 for a hoody and you should not either. SAC price is the right price.

This is my goto layer for nearly everything. Warm for it's weight, fits AMAZING (6', 180lbs got a large), and looks great. Seriously, if you have a chance to grab this hoody, it's definitely worth it. I absolutely love it.

Please Please Please Backcountry, can you make this again? I've burned holes in mine and would really like a replacement...

At 6'4" and 210 lbs I have a little trouble worrying about thumb loops on a sweatshirt. Up until now, I've never had sleeves get close to my thumbs. Needless to say I was thrilled to find my XXL hoodie had no trouble getting to the ends of my arms. I'll admit, I've got a little extra room in the torso, and SAC made the price better, but I love this sweatshirt.

Excellent hoody. Thinner then some but warm for its weight. Fit is great and I like it better then many other hoodies which get huge in the larger sizes when you order an XL. The XL fits me well and I am 6'1" and 180 lbs. Has protected zipper at the top which is nice to not have the zipper rub your chin when zipped fully. Well worth the money.

BC, please keep making this!! Im 6'2", 220lbs and the XL fits great if you want a trim fit. I seriously wear mine almost everyday, just take it off to wash it. The fabric does pill, and thats really its only downside. Super comfy! Great articulation in the arms. Chest pocket is great for keys or a cell phone. I just may buy another before they are gone for good. Wish there was more BC.com stuff still coming out! Stoic is great, but not a big enough range yet!

This hoody is super comfy and seems to be very well built. However, there is NO WAY it is worth the regular price. This is nothing more than a nice, stylish comfy hoody. There is nothing technical about it, and I doubt it would do much for you in harsh weather. There is barely any wool in it, so it seems a little cheap that they advertise it as such. All this being said, I paid just over $30 dollars for it on SAC, which was a great deal. If you can get it for that, I think its worth 5 stars. Anything more, and you will be disappointed. Also should mention that I sized up based on some of the reviews, but I don't think it was necessary. Wash however you want...it wont shrink.

I truly love this hoodie. I purchased one in each color and I might purchase more if they sell additional colors. What I really like is how the thumb hole is on a recessed sleeve. I know that inside pockets were not part of the design, yet, you get extra pockets on the inside thanks to how the front pockets were sewn.

I've probably owned about three or four hoodies in my life, and this is by far the best. It is very comfortable and warm, and it fits great!

Been wearing it around campus in good old Ohio and has served me well. Great base layer with my BC.com Welder and 686 smarty jacket.
The hoody is raw!

This jacket lives up to the BC.com name. Well built and completely comfortable. I've been wearing it ever since I snagged it on SAC. Two little complaints: The pits ride a little tight but not annoyingly so and the neck is a bit high for everyday use but is nice in cold weather. This is my new favorite jacket. Maybe not worth the full price but at a discount I would recommend it to anyone!

This is a great product so far, I have had it for a little more than a week and have worn it 3 days so far. It is a great layering piece. I like using the thumb holes to hold the arms in place when pulling my softshell overtop. It is thinner than the average sweatshirt but is just as warm if not warmer. I am 5' 11 3/4" 185 athletic build and purchased a Large. I must say I like the shape and cut of this sweatshirt but it could be slightly smaller. I have thought about trying the Medium but I don't want it to be to tight and restrictive. This was my first Backcountry.com product and all and all I am pleased although I would not pay more than I did for it (under $60 shipped). I am hoping to pick up more Backcountry.com products as I see them on SteepandCheap.com.....Hopefully the Welder softshell in time.

I was hoping for a little more edge to this hoodie. It's pretty much just that- a hoodie. While it performed well in spring skiing conditions, I'm generally not impressed by it's wind resistance (read: very little) or its water resistance (read: none) My largest complaint is that I've been wearing it for a week or so now, and already the fabric around the hands and neck is already piling. I'm going to trade up to the true siphon wool-blend jacket. All told though, as a hoodie, it can't be beat, but as a jacket, it needs a little something more.
Fit: slim and good
Design: lookin' sexy
Wind and Water: mediocre to poor
As a layer: pretty good

if you're tall and lean like me. Most sweatshirts turn into belly shirts after a couple washings. Not this one. Nice hand, good fit. I'll be wearing this baby a lot. Nice Job BC.com.

I'm a pretty small dude(5'7" and 130 lbs.) and the small fits like a glove! It works awesome as a mid- ,or outer-layer, and I've gotten tons of compliments about the look. It is definitely fitted for some good ol' next-to-your-skin warmth. No drafts gettin in there! I gave 4 out of 5 for the price.

Very comfortable- Slimmer fit so I agree with Evan about sizing up if you want more room. Well worth the money. Another great item from Backcountry! My husband looks great in it!

Easily worth the SAC price but not much more. The inside feels like butter, and the techy details are nice, but wool? Where? And the outside will pill up if you're not careful with your washing. Graphite = Black. But again, on sale... buy it!

Finally got my hands on one of these after eyeing them online for months....Fully lives up to everyone else's glowing reviews of this little piece of gear heaven. I'm 6'1, 190 lbs and was able to grab a L....I have a fairly athletic build, and like a more snug/athletic fit that Arc''teryx, backcountry/stoic do so well. Anyway the Large fits me perfectly. I know its hard to find these even anymore, but if you can track one down, especially for the discounted price, I cannot recommend it enough! I plan on living in this thing for a long time to come!

Very nice and soft. Denim is a great color, not to dark and not to light. The cut of the sweatshirt is athletic so it hugs around the core, good ecxuse for doing situps. The hood pulls are different than regular sweatshirts, these are elastic with a plastic spring clip to hold them tight. Overall I am pleased and have even gotten a few good complements on it.

Great casual hoodie. I rocked this all weekend on a ski trip to Silverton, CO. At night the temps dropped below 0 and this hoodie did the trick keeping me warm while walking the streets. This hoodie has found its place on my gear list as a must bring. The size runs a little small so I would order up a size.

Update 2 years later - still my favorite hoodie / fleece of all time and my only complaint is that BC doesn't sell it anymore so no replacment is possible when that day comes...bad decision Backcountry...shame on you.

This is THE most well designed, best cut, not-at-all poop-sack baggy and comfy fleece I've ever owned. The neck zip area is well designed - goes all the way to chin without gaps due to the hood - thus far less air gettin' in than the normal fleece, plus the hood is good though just shy of perfect. Only complaint is that the hood length should just go a bit more forward / down toward the forehead - i have a tiny head and the cinch-line ends just above my hairline, but not a big deal with a tobog on.

I'm starting my 3rd season on this fleece / hoodie and love it to death...its the single best ever.

On the steeper side for price......but decent i guess? I'm not much on the sleeves down by the wrist. I have a large, I'm 5'11" 170 with pretty long arms and the sleeves seem to be made for maybe an Orangutan? Everywhere else the jacket feels true to size. I definetly would not pay full price for this. Not gonna b*tch too much as I do where the jacket alot'...plus I have to "Represent" the Goat!~

I'd give it a 3 mostly because of the fit. The quality seems ok, but I'm not crazy about the fit. I'm 6'0 200lbs and pretty stocky I guess. This XL sweatshirt is a bit too slim fitting through the torso for my taste, but if that's the style you like, it may suit your needs. I'm not heavy in the waist or stomach, but this style might be a bit tight for anbody with a belly. The arms are plenty long and have the inner thumb hole which is a nice feature. The hood is spacious, but why the pocket linings needed to be mesh I have no idea; maybe to keep the weight down. Overall, I do like the sweatshirt, and I suppose for $50.00 on SAC it was a fair deal. Just stay clear if you prefer a loose fitting style sweatshirt.

Strong...nice sweatshirt! I'm 6'4", 230 and the xl fits great. Originally ordered the Graphite, but Graphite is really more like black so sent it back for the denim. This is a nice mid-layer but not quite as substantial as I was anticipating. I thought the wool weave would make it more heavy-duty but not the case. Overall, good purchase!

This lightweight zip-up developed those little fuzzy balls from wear very easily around the cuffs of both arms after just 1 or 2 times of wearing it. Other than that, great!

I bought this zip-up hoodie for $35 bucks and i would say its worth that, not the original price. I', 5'9" 170 lbs and a large was perfect. The zip-up fits true to its size, not slim like some of the other posts were saying. Just buy the size you would normally buy!

As for the hoodie itself, I liked it because it has nice deep side pockets that keep stuff from falling out when driving a car as well as it looks good over another t-shirt or long sleeve. Its not incredibly thick or warm, but does the job. Its definitely not intended as outerwear in anything less than 40 degrees.

I love this jacket i wear it all the time. you can go from wearing it around town looking great to hitting the trail. i use it for everything like hiking, backing, search and rescue, and skiing. it is seriously a great buy. way worth the money!!

I loved the first one so much that I turned right around and bought another! The monkey thumbs keep the sleeves from riding up and since they are inside the cuff, my hand can stay all bundled up inside. I have a 43 inch chest and the large was a great fit. Its not loose but stretches well. Curious about the bagginess of the XL, I decided to order one of those too. It doesn't give me a whole lot of extra room but does fit a little baggy. Also I wear a size 33 in jeans, so I am not a slim goat skinny goat. If you are, then go for the large! ITS FREAKIN SICK!

Great hoodie! First impression thought it wouldn't be very warm because it is not real thick. Wore it with a rime pullover and t-shirt in 30 degree weather and was plenty warm. Nice and long arms with thumb holes which will make using as a layer much easier. Was unsure of sizing(6'1" 195) but went XL because it was all that was left and fits nice, arms are a bit long but better than being short! Love backcountry gear always more than exprected at unbeatable prices!! Thanks backcountry and keep up the good work. They have the best customer service anywhere hands down!

I bought the Graphite and was expecting more of a dark grey, but it is pretty much black...but very pleased with the quality of this hoody. Love the thumbies. At 6' 2" + 185 lbs, I went with an XL and love the fit. But I like a larger fit. I definitely wouldn't pay full price but for $32 bucks, its a steal.

This is a well made and well designed garment, and quite comfortable. It's breathable and still highly wind resistant and warm (I just wore it on a tower during a photo shoot and it was just right). The pockets are not lumpy and have good zips, so you won't dump your keys or phone when scrambling about. I have the blue color, as it is pretty mellow and feels a little vintage. I did get a discount, so it wasn't too expensive (can't hurt to ask). It's true, that if you have a belly that you want to disguise, you might need a size up, but I wear a Large, and it's true to size as far as length, sleeves. Generally, I really like this sweatshirt.

nice styling, good fit, and warm. be forewarned that it doesn't feel like a polyester/wool blend, it feels more like a run of the mill cotton fleece. also, the thumb holes are on an inside cuff, not on the outside of the jacket. i can see the value of that, but i felt the picture was a little misleading unless you look really close. i probably wouldn't buy this if i saw in the store. the customer service guys seem really cool about the whole situation and reminded me that i can return it for a full refund at any time because of the lifetime warranty.

It's Warm and very comfortable. The thumb wholes are a nice touch too. It's a little bigger than other backcountry hoodies i've worn and i would have ordered a size smaller if i could have ordered again...but then again, i like my shirts to be snug. great value though.

I have no idea how american companies size their gear. I bought a medium charhart and a large backountry siphon hoody hoping one or the other would fit me. Both were way too big. At least return policy is good.

Love it!!
I like the thumb holes on the sleeves, the warmth of it and the way it feels to your skin. Slim fit! If you are a little overweight it might look funny on you.

Really good material, its a slim fit sweatshirt. I was really happy when I saw the thumb-holes on the sleeve. I recommend it for street wear or layering it on any cold day out in the mountains!

good slim fit and I loved the thumb-holes!
Really breathable and I recommend it for layering for any cold day on the mountains.

I love this jacket, I am 6'3" and it fits great. the sleeves are plenty long for me. It is the most practical jacket I have found.

Great for everyday use around town. Not the warmest sweatshirt/zip-up hoodie I've ever owned, but perfect on cool evenings. I am 6'2" 205 and the XL is a bit snug on me so you may want to buy up a size. Overall, I am very pleased with this item and since its made by Backcountry, you know you cant go wrong.

Haven't washed it yet but shocked that it is pilling up after wearing it ONCE to the airport with a down vest overtop...not much friction there. Dissapointed...

As others have mentioned, this is a slim-fitting top. I am a 44R 34 waist and the Large fit well. I use this as a mid layer over a T with a lightweight R4 on top. You will need a wind-blocking layer on top of this sweatshirt if it is windy outside. Zipper is a little clunky when fully zipped and under another full zip layer (read as uncomfortable when putting your chin down). All in all this is a great layering piece and it is what it is, nothing more, nothing less.

6'4" 235, XL is a little tight around the shoulders, chest and upper back, should have went 2X, but didn't get in on time. Love the trim fit around the midsection as most XLs and larger are made for people that also have an XL stomach (which isn't always the case). Body and Arm Length is awesome and I hope this style becomes more available from BC.com. Fast shipping and great service (as usual). I'd change the pocket's interior (mesh, really?). Overall, a little tight going on but becomes comfy after a few minutes. Make more!

I'm 6'2" and 170 lb. and the L fits perfect, definitely not too baggy in the torso but enough length in the arm. The hoody is actually amazingly warm and wind resistant, given that its more of a casual item of clothing, and I end up running it all the time when temps are around freezing. My only complaint is that after 2 washings, the exterior is pretty pilled up, for the sale price though you can't beat it.

I love it. I've worn it pretty much every day since I got it. Very comfy to just wear around, but also works really well as more than just street-wear. I wore it cross country skiing and as a mid-layer snowboarding on a really cold day and it was great. I also like that all the pockets have zippers, so nothing falls out. It's pretty slim fitting compared to a regular hoody, but I'm tall and thin so it fit me perfectly. I'm 6'1", 165lbs and I got the large.

Hey I love this zipper.
The only problem is that it is to wide.
I am 6'5" and a thin athletic guy. I got a size Large. Fits great at shoulder and sleeves, but at the waist its to wide.
Feels really soft and warm, but does not keep wind away.
Still good stuff. I like it

I purchased this Hoody on sale for $32.99 and I feel that I received one heck of a deal. The hoody is very warm. The thumb holes add some extra warmth when wearing the hoody by itself and without gloves. I have been wearing the hoody under my ski jacket as a mid layer and i have some pilling happening on the sleeves near the wrist areas, not too bad though. Very comfortable, awesome hood, looks great, 3 pockets, and under $35 = 4 stars. Buy one while the sale and supplies still last. Thank you BC, you guys rock!

I wear this for weeks straight...easily the best hoodie I've ever worn. It's very warm for how thin/lightweight it is (keeps me warm down to 30F), and looks very stylish as well. I really like how the thumbholes are built inside the sleeve, so when you're not using them the holes dont show. I'm 6'6" 210lbs and the XL fits me very well.

That said, I'm not sure I'd pay full price for this. I picked it up for $33 and consider that a steal. I wouldnt hesitate to pay up to $50 for this hoody.

I have found this HOODIE great. I swim in masters in NH and it is great to have on for the post swim dash to the car.
Very nice material.

Looking for a longer-cut hoody (i'm 6'4) and this (L) fit the bill. Nice long arms, looks great. The thumb loops kinda act like wrist gators when not in use, adds to the warmth. Fits well under my Shift jacket for some warmth under a windblock. Plus, it cost next to nothing, which is always a factor for me :)

Very comfortable I have been living in it since I got it. Good fit, I am 6'4" 220lbs and the XL fits great arms and torso are long enough and not overly baggy like a lot of XL clothing. Not sure how it works as a technical piece of equipment but at the sale price it is an easy decision even if it is only used as casual.

I'm 5'9" 140lbs and I got the large. It is really warm and will fit under any jacket or just by itself. I gave it 4 stars cause it fits kinda weird around the waist. It is tight around the chest to trap all the heat but flares out at the bottom...not really my style but hey its warm and functional. All in all I would buy it again if I had the option.

If this fabric didn't pill so badly I would give this hoodie the full 5 stars. It fits great I usually wear a medium in most jackets and did go with others suggestion here to go one size up (L). I wear it all the time which is why it so quickly pulled in the bumps in almost every area of the hoodie. It has plenty of warmth to keep me going even in the colorado morning cold with a shell over the top.

Great Sweatshirt. I'm 6'1" 160lbs and large fits perfectly. It feels great, only problem is that it pills like mad around the hands and anywhere that rubs a lot. Other than that I love this sweatshirt.

I'm 6'2'' 205lbs rocking out the XL fits perfect, nice athletic cut. I purchased the L but exchanged it for the XL. Very happy with the purchase. Want to get the wool version but none left.

I recently got this jacket and it is great. It fits well looks great. The sleeves are plenty long and it is very comfortable. It is like a fancy zip-up sweatshirt with a few extra features such as an elastic around the hood, an extra chest pocket, and thumb holes for when you're wearing gloves. It probably wouldn't cut it in really cold weather, but for most everyday activities this will be my go to jacket. I love the hood, and the pockets are nice and big. The best things about this jacket though are it's look and comfort. I'm 5'10" and got a large. It fits perfectly.

....amazingly warm and wind resistant.
Fits nice, not baggy at all. A keeper.

I am not one to leave reviews for products online, but i had to for this one. This sweatshirt is nothing less than STELLAR. Everyone (including me) loves hoodies right? Most have these problems tho: they shrink after 5 washings b/c they are made of cotton. never quite long enough to allow movement without creating a draft down ur pants. colors fade, etc. This bad boy put an end to my quest for the perfect hoodie....polyester/wool blend- no shrinking, long enough for lots of movement while still covering you, sleeves are long (but not too long) and have thumb holds to keep hands warm on frigid days, adjustable hood like most high-end shells. I bought 2 when they went on sale recently, but i have to say i would pay the original price ($100+) for this hoodie if i had to buy another one! Its just that good. Very warm, sheds water, looks A++ around town. I am 5'9, 175 pounds & bought Large size- fits perfectly. Buy this and dont look back! One last thing, make sure to follow care instructions on label, do no put in dryer. Holiday cheers from beautiful NC!

I am 6'5" and 200lbs, and the XL fits perfect (I wish my Siphon Primaloft jacket fit this good).

Super comfy, soft and warm, the hood is the perfect size, and the nifty hidden thumb-holes in the sleeves are a nice touch (although a bit small for my thumbs).

The two slight misses though is the lack of a drawcord in the waist, and the mesh backing in the pockets.

The bottom hem is fine, but with out a little elastic or drawcord, kinda curves outward, but just slightly.

I read another mesh pocket comment before I bought this, and thought the guy was just being picky. BUT... he was right, the mesh pockets offer no warmth to your hands. Its hard to explain, but its true.

Other than that, pretty spot on hoody!

I wear this thing just about everywhere, all the time. It fits great, its soft, warm, and just a great hoodie. I'm gonna be super bummed when it finally wears out on me...lets hope that doesn't happen. Also, I hope they come out with some more of these things down the road, I will fo sho be picking up another when they do. If you're a big boy I wouldn't wait a minute to snag up whats left of these things, you'll love it.

5'11", 170 lbs., broad shoulders, Large is the right size. Agree it doesn't seem worth the $110 MSRP, but the 70% off price is worth it. Backcountry.com has been great to me and I'll continue to give them my business, but I do find them guilty of overpricing their items so that they can give "deep discounts." E.g. the Rime pullover. Love it, but no way it's worth the $150 original price. I always loved hooded sweatshirts, but hated that they'd still fit if I gained 100 lbs. This fits very nicely, seems warm, I do expect the fleece lining to pill because it feels a little cheap, but I look and feel good in it. Thanks again guys.

I've had this piece for 6 months now and it has held up in all kinds of conditions, I will recomend :-]

So first of all, I'm 6'4 180lbs and own both a L and XL. The large fits a bit snug and only goes down to the hip while the XL fits like a more traditional casual hoodie and goes down a bit past my waist. Depending on what you're looking for in a sweatshirt -- size up accordingly. That being said I love the texture and warmth... a great deal when it's on sale!

Just got mine today and I must say, I was a little skeptical when I bought it but I am amazed by the quality, fit, and feel. I'm 6'3" and 190 and the large fits me perfect. Length in the arms is wonderful and the athletic fit looks great. Not to mention the stlyish yet classic look and all the pockets! Gotta admit that backcountry.com amazes me again! Plus I got it in less than 3 days with standard shipping! You all rock.

I wanted to like this hoody, and I did until it started pilling all over after only a few wears. I also wish there was a waist draw string. Otherwise, it's a functional hoody that is warm down to about 40. The hood is roomy and adjustable, the pockets are decent. Sizing: I'm 5'8" 140 lbs and the small is pretty tight fitting.

Nice hooded sweatshirt. Generous sleeve length and athletic fit in the body. Material tends to accumulate little fuzz balls that are impossible to get rid of. Works well as a mid-layer. Cinching hood is sweet. Worth the SAC price, but not more.

I read all the reviews. I'm 5'10", 185. I wear size 34 pants (36 in dress pants)... so I'm not all that slim. I got the Large and, while it fit perfect in the shoulders and upper body, it was huge around my stomach. Huge as in not even remotely "fitted." I may have just gotten a badly made hoody... who knows. I bought it on SAC, but I tried chatting with the backcounty customer support agents twice and both times they asked a million questions about what sizes I wear and then refused to exchange it (for another Large). Very disappointed. I wanted to love this hoody but now I must send it back. If you're buying this from SAC keep in mind you're responsible for shipping both ways even if they ship you a bad product.
