Sitka Heavyweight Hoody Fit?

[passinggas33]

If you were to characterize how the Sitka heavyweight hoody should fit in a layering system, would you characterize it as:

Tight Muscle Shirt (My 9 year old is asking for it back)

Form fitting, but not super tight

Loose (Like an oversized sweatshirt)

Baggy (90s gangsta’s ain’t got nothin on me)

I’m stuck in between a M and a L right now and I’m trying to decide which size I should keep. I normally wear it over a base layer of some sort (mid layer).

Thanks for the insight in helping how to properly utilize this piece of clothing.

Form fitting not super tight, one of my favorite pieces of clothing. I wear it all the time and typically sleep in it when camping!

I wear a medium, 5'10 155lbs.

I can wear it over a thin base layer easily but wear it as my first layer often.

It's about the only Sitka piece that fits me. I'm between a M and L also. The Medium Heavyweight Hoodie fits great. Most other Sitka Mediums are too small and Large is too loose / baggy.

I’m 5’10 and 175lbs. The large fits me well.

I’ve moved my mediums forever. But I’m gained some weight (on purpose), and now it fits me pretty tight. So I bought some large ones, and they seem pretty baggy on me. So I’m just trying to decide if I should wash everything on hot and then dry it and see if I can get them to shrink just a bit to make a better fit.

true to size, the heavy weight hoody is form fitting but not crazy tight.
The Fanatic hoody is looser

Am in between sizes on Sitka. L or XL. Bought a L in the heavyweight hoody to layer over, but ended up selling and going with XL. Am old school, don’t like tight fitting stuff unless next to skin. Don’t usually wear my HW hoody next to skin, generally over a tee. Love my HW hoody.

Personal preference for me is I HATE anything that is binding in any way and prefer loose fit for everything.
