Heavyweight 400 Women's Brushed Wool Hoodie Kodiak Fleece

This is my first time getting into healthier fabric wear it was by far the best decision in my fashion lifestyle. My skin now can tell the difference between 100% merino or cotton compared to syntheic wear.

Over the past 12-ish years I've had merino hoodies from the other two brands you might be thinking of. Quality had gone downhill with the first company when I went to replace my 10-year-old hoodie, and the other one wasn't too much better. *This* hoodie, however, is what I've been wanting. The hood, as someone else has pointed out, is a hoodie-hood, not a scuba/sleestak hood, which is nice. The sleeve cuffs and thumbie were what really impressed me, though.The cuff edges are trimmed/reinforced with bias tape (possibly? I'm not remembering the term) and so are the thumbie-holes. My stuff always frays at the cuff-edges, so I'm super delighted by this. The fabric is the weight I want from a hoodie (the other merino ones I've had recent experience with are more or less shirts in hoodie form). There are other lovely things about it, I have zero negative things to say about it, it is very expensive (from my perspective), but not more so than I expect for being merino and of this quality, and it is absolutely worth it, unlike the two others I've bought from different brands in the past two years, which is a huge relief.

I'm 5'3, 115 pounds. I wear a small bottom & medium top in the base layers. I like my tops to be fitted but not tight to my body....just perfectly classic. I ordered a medium in this hoodie and it was huge...much like a large. I paid shipping to exchange it for a small. I received the small & it fits nicely through the shoulders & the sleeve length is good but still, the torso is too large. If you're looking for a cute, classic fit...this isn't it. I can't get an XS because the sleeves will be too short. Plus, I would have to pay return shipping again. The sizing of this hoodie should definitely be reconsidered so that a medium in base layer is similar to a medium in all products. Quality clothing is expensive enough without additional shipping back & forth. Also, please consider creating a more classic fit hoodie. Fit ladies like this. A small frame looks good in small clothes. On a positive note, this jacket is incredibly warm, very good quality and the inner material feels good even without a base layer.
Return was easy & shipping times reasonable.

Very high quality, breathable yet very warm! Length and overall fit is great, true to size

I am 5’5” this is not hip length in a Large. More like lower hip. That is fine for me. Great fabric and style. I hunt and work/play outdoors. Love Merino wool, first purchase this year so no long term review, but really like it so far.

The wool is heavy, dense, and very warm. It seems well made.

I had to return a women's medium for a large. I suggest ordering one size up if you're in the middle or high-end of a size, especially if you're tall. Ordering the 'correct' size results in a snug fit like the model photos, or even tighter, but that might not be what most people want in a hoodie.

The sleeves are short if you want to use the thumb holes, which was my main reason for going to a large. Adding an inch in the sleeves would be an improvement.

But after up-sizing, it's a very nice garment. Have not tried it in cold, but in warm weather one starts to overheat fairly quickly. Look forward to snow again.

This is a gorgeous garment. It's soft, warm, and has a great weight and feel. But the fit has been so frustrating! I am 5' 7"/145 lb and I measure exactly for a medium (37-29-39). The medium in this hoodie fits SO exactly that I can't push the sleeves up or put more than a long sleeve tee under it, and it's cut long for me (mid hip). As the other reviews said, there is very little stretch in this knit. Ultimately, I love it for the office and casual wear, but it doesn't work for layering as part of my field gear, which is why I wanted it. I think I will be ordering a men's version for that purpose. Bottom line: it's a great hoodie, but be sure of the way you want it to fit!

Bought this for my partner (so she would stop borrowing mine!), and, unlike the men's version, the ash gray women's version has no hanging loop on the interior neckline. I called the company to confirm whether this was an accidental omission or a different design from the mens, and they said none of the ash gray women's hoodies have the hanging loop. It's not the end of the world, and may not matter at all to some, and the hoodie is still fantastic and very versitile in cold weather. We both wear ours down into the low 40's with just a base layer and it's plenty warm. With aerobic activity, it's comfortable well into the 30's. Interior pocket is very handy. Sleeves run a little short, even after sizing up.

I bought a size small (4-6) because it’s the smallest size available, I normally wear a size 0-2 petite 5’0 100lbs. The arms are super tight and I have very skinny arms. The thumb holes are also positioned very poorly so although my arms are shorter than normal I cannot use them. I do not like the fleece material either feels itchy, I have the kenai expedition leggings and the material is softer and much better. Two stars for the hood itself and warmth.

I typically wear small to medium. I ordered a medium so I could layer. This felt like an extra small. It does not have much stretch like I was expecting. It is soft though. The return process was such a pain that I ended up giving it as a gift instead.

I ordered up a size to a medium and it was still too tight. The proportions seen off for athletic builds. Ordered a men’s medium, hope it’s here soon in Nov.

The jacket is nice, comfortable, the sleeves are far to Short I’m a 5’7” 140 Lady, bought a large wanting long enough sleeves, it is way off

I was looking to size up for a jacket look instead of a fitted sweatshirt. I am trying two sizes up when this is returned. We will see

I’ve worn this almost everyday since I bought it a month ago- I love this hoodie. It is so thick and warm- I stay warm when I’m out walking the dog down into the 20s with just a mid weight base layer on underneath it but I can also wear it while sitting at my desk without overheating. It is well worth the price and I’m very happy with toy purchase. It does feel like it molds to your body as another reviewer noted. I also got the Kodiak fleece neck gaiter to go with this and they work together so well to keep me warm.

The only issue I have with it is that I had to order two sizes up from my normal size. I got a large in the women’s trail breaker zip up hoodie and all my Minus33 base layers and they all fit comfortably, but I needed an XXL in this jacket to get a comfortable fit. I found the shoulders to be particularly small. Luckily I live close enough that I could do the exchange in person so it wasn’t a huge deal to try on the XL and then the XXL to find one that fit well.

This is THE Hoody I have been searching for. Beautiful, soft, well made, heavy. Warm. And it is WOOL. It is pricy, but so warm and cozy. Perfect for every day. Thank you!

This front zip hoodie is the warmest one I've every had. High quality construction. Totally worth the price. It's perfect for those cold and damp fall and winter days. I don't think I'll be wearing other hoodies! The hood is really warm and cinchable. I'm 5'9" and weigh 163 lbs, and I have the XL. I have long arms, and the arm length is perfect. At first, the hoodie was bit tight in the hips, but after I wore it a few times the wool has molded to my size. The hoodie is about the same dimensions as the men's size medium. Thank you Minus33 for heavyweight merino wool clothing!

I bought this hoodie as a birthday present for my wife. I haven’t seen her naked since. So, it was a win as a gift, but a loss on overall quality of my sex life.

She’s owned other merino hoodies in the past, and this has never happened before.

Buyer beware!

I had looked high and low for a hoodie that had enough warmth for my easily-to-get-cold body. And at long last I had found it. I've had it now for at least two years. It's so comfortable, and I like that it has an inside pocket. I only wish that the sleeves were a tad bit longer as I have pretty long arms. Oh! and I hope someday this might come in white!

I've put it through the wash loads of times, and it's holding up well. I let it air-dry.

The brushed interior is really soft and the hoodie is extremely warm. I got the same hoodie in black a couple of years ago, and the one I got now fits a bit more tightly. I recommend sizing up if you prefer a looser fit.
