Favorite hoodie

I wake up in the morning and throw on a hoodie. Leave for work and put on a different hoodie. Go to the gym, hoodie. You get the idea...

I can't seem to find my perfect hoodie for hunting/general outdoors though. I currently have and like the First lite Kiln and the Kuiu Peloton 200. The Kuiu is close to what I want but not quite perfect. The Kiln is basically a heavy shirt, very comfortable but also not quite what I'm after.

In recent memory, I've tried on the Swazi Hood and Peloton 97. The Hood's cut was a little odd, I'm into the long tail but the sleeves were short and snug. The 97 is basically a fleece shirt. I've never owned a Sitka hoodie but have been interested in the Gradient. The Kyptek Arma has also caught my eye.

For fit reference, I have fairly long arms and broad shoulders. I'm looking for something that fits fairly loose but not baggy.

So what is your favorite hoodie?

I’m a hoodie aficionado just as yourself- I’ve really taken a liking to the Eddie Bauer high route grid fleece hoodie lately because they offer tall sizes. Helps me out with the broad shoulder, long arm thing (6’2”, 215 pounds, and 35” sleeve length) just like yourself. You can usually pick them up fairly cheap on sales too.

And speaking of kryptek- I have one of their cronos hoodies in the blaze orange camo that I wear when I get out for rifle seasons and it’s pretty nice too

I'm not a hoodie person. But, I do love my Sitka Core Lightweight hoodie. It's light enough to wear for much of the year. It's also a great piece for sleeping in the backcountry. If I get cold at night I can pull up the hood and it has a built in face mask that can be useful as well.

I have a Sitka Core that I really like, but it's very lightweight. I also have a Kryptek one, not sure which, it has a 1/4 zip along with the hood and has a waffle insulation to it. It has to stay in my pack or I find my wife wearing it!

Arcteryx Atom LT- versatile, super lightweight, pretty tough, not as breathable as a grid fleece.

I like the Sitka fanatic for everyday warmth. The FL wick is nice also for warmer weather And so is Sitka core lightweight. I’ve been liking the SG Helio also.

The Canis fleece hoody is freaking awesome, leaves nothing to desired. Close 2nd would be first lite Klamath, although I don’t care for the hood on it.

Don't hate, but I have a Mt Ops hoodie that the most comfortable ever. Feel like a tool wearing it sometimes 😂

Let me preface by saying I’m a hoody whore.
They can be hard to find, but take a look at the Arcteryx Fortrez. Similar material as the body fabric on the Naga.

First lite Klamath and Sitka heavyweight hoody are good for hunting brands. I like the R1 from Patagonia.

not For the woods but I have become a big fan of the rockland Sherpa lined hoodie from carhartt. Very cozy around the house and for working outdoors in a chill. I had to buy another for lounging around in.
