Hanes Ultimate Heavyweight Fleece Hoodie Review
Heavyweight Fleece for Warmth
The Hanes Ultimate Heavyweight Fleece Hoodie is a traditional style pullover hoodie that uses a heavyweight 9.7-ounce fleece fabric. This fabric makes it warmer than other types of midweight and lightweight hoodies. Despite being thicker, it still feels very soft and easy to wear.
Rib Knit Cuffs and Waistband
It has stretchable rib knit cuffs that feel soft against the wrists. These cuffs are easy to adjust and slide up to the elbow if needed. They hold in place and don’t just slip back down my arm.
The waist also has the same rib knit fabric to create a fitted waistband area. This helps trap heat and keeps out wind and cold air.
Pocket & Hood
The hood itself is jersey-lined for extra warmth. The body of the hoodie just has the normal soft fleece lining. And, of course, the hoodie includes adjustable drawstrings for the hood, providing a customizable fit.
This hoodie does have the front handwarmer kangaroo pocket. The pocket has plenty of room for my hands and items like phones and keys.
My Sizing Advice
In my experience, this hoodie has a regular fit that doesn’t feel too tight or too loose. At the top of the page you can watch my video review – I am 6 feet tall and 185 pounds and I am wearing a size medium in the video. I think it fits true to size.
Also, in my review video at the top of the page, I put a medium t-shirt over the top of this medium hoodie to show how the sizing and fit compares to a standard t-shirt.
Overall, this is a very comfortable and soft hoodie. It provides heavyweight warmth while remaining very easy to wear with a variety of outfits.
