FORBIDEFENSE Women Fleece Hoodies Full Sleeve-Front Zip Premium Hood 2 Split Pocket

I thought the baby blue was beautiful and different; I had never seen that color and wanted / needed it. I thought the same about the yellow (new nature), but I wasn't sure about the sizing because I'm usually in between sizes regardless of the brand or size chart. So I ordered an XS baby blue and a S new nature; I kept the small because it fit better across the shoulders and I really liked the weight. I would compare the weight to that of a Carhartt sweatdhirt ; it's definitely a cold weather sweatshirt and it would be too warm to wear for a night time stroll on the boardwalk in late September (unless it was windy and an usually cold night). The colors I chose do not look anything like the pictures; the new nature is actually a pale yellow / beige and the baby blue is much darker and brighter than what the name or picture implies. In fact, I thought it was ugly and chose not to order it in a size small after returning the extra small; if you can picture the analogy, it's the opposite of a pepto bismall tablet. They have quality workmanship, usable pockets and a functioning hood that offers a brim if it's raining or snowing; I wouldn't however be able to wear a bike helmet with the hood on without the shoulders pulling up. The fabric is most impressive, especially for the price; if the color wasn't so different than what I expected (because of the picture), this sweatshirt would have received 5 stars. I hoe this company offers a true baby / pale blue sweatshirt and considers adding additional colors; maybe a true baby / pale pink, as well as an olive, maroon, grey (dark, medium and light) and Navy blue although I personally wouldn't be interested in any melange or space dye fabrics as I prefer the traditional solid colors. I have a collection of zipped hooded sweatshirts in nearly every color but only a few are as heavyweight as this one. Most heavyweight sweatshirts are pullovers, but I need a zipped style because of a 25 yr old shoulder injury which has caused all of my muscles on the left to atrophy and my shoulder to round forward. Because my shoulders are shaped different it's very uncomfortable to wear any coat (that happens to fit decent) for any length of time so was momentarily I mostly wear sweatshirts under vests; that why I was excited about the weight of this sweatshirt and how to see more colors offered I was equally excited to see that this company also made jogger pants, but was quickly disappointed with not only the design, but also in the fabric weight and color choices. The jogger pants definitely make a current fashion statement which is geared toward the younger generation and the fabric and colors don't match the sweatshirt so sets aren't possible. I hope this company considers adding traditionally designed jogger pants made with the same heavyweight fleece of this sweatshirt and offers the jogger pants in the same colors so it'd be possible to have matching sets that are warm and affordable. Why is it so hard to find a sweatshirt that matched jogger pants? Why is it so hard to find both in various weights? I have a need for lightweight sets (and average weight and midweight sets) as much as I do heavyweight sets; my skin has become very thin and sensitive so it rips easily and I have a lot of scars on my forearms and lower legs which causes people to stare so I often wear long sleeves and pants even in the summer (and I live at the beach)! I will definitely check this brand's store in late summer to see if any of my suggestions materialize.

This hoodie is very thick and warm, and it arrived very quickly. Also, it is bright white, which is what I was looking for. I'd recommend it if you're looking for something cozy. The fit is not very flattering - it is cut pretty straight, which means that my waist looks as wide as my hips when I put it on) but I don't wear it outside of the house.

Bought it for my wife size 6...purchased medium but because of the cotton percentage returned for large. She felt washing would make it fit too small. We exchanged for large, now we need to wash and dryer a few times to get the size between medium and large.Summery: The size style is slim fit, best we can say. Wish they had a merge, that's between a medium and large.

The thing I dislike about this product was it was a little bit too long in length and the hood was bigger then I expected. But I do like that it seems a good quality and it’s soft inside and it should keep you pretty warm. I will keep it and can live with the length!!!

I got this hooded sweatshirt in small and fits nicely. The color was slightly off, but its cute and I really like how it fits nicely. It's true to size. It's neither too tight nor buggy. I would not recommend sizing up or down. The material is thick enough to keep me warm. It's not cheap looking sweater. I wish I could get another colors in size small!

It’s the hoodie I’ve been looking for! It’s very comfortable, warm, and soft on the inside. It’s got a full zipper, and a full, functioning hood. It’s very well made. I can see myself wearing this a lot as the weather cools down. For reference, I’m 5’2, 125lbs, 34B and I ordered the small. It fits just right. It’s neither skin tight, or too baggy. I ordered a medium to compare the sizes, and it was way too big, fwiw. I’m not sure how I feel about the color, I kind of feel like Barney (yanno, the purple dinosaur). I wish it came in gray. Also...the navy one looked dark gray on my screen, but nope. It’s definitely navy, promise.Update: I wasn’t the only one who got Barney vibes. I ended up swapping it for black.

If you notice, it's cut snug through the hips. Fit nicely everywhere else. On the heavier weight side... Hoodie string is not in a sewn channel but a few stitches would fix that. It's very nice but I felt it was too snug in hips for the Medium size, doesn't lay right when open. Sadly returned.

I really like this hoodie. It's really warm and comfortable. The only thing I don't like is the waistband area. I settled on a size XS but originally ordered a size S. The S waist area fit great, but the rest of the hoodie was too bulky as it was too large. The size XS fits much better, but the waistband area is a bit tight and rides up above my hips, causing the stomach area of the sweater to puff out. I only wear this around the house though. Paired with long sleeved shirt underneath and it's been keeping me really warm with it still being cold outside. Very happy nevertheless.
