This hoodie is made for outdoor elements. It's plush and thick, and insulating from cold and wind. The sherpa material is soft and lines the whole garment, including the hood and interior of the kangaroo pocket. It's a great quality hoodie, definitely made to last seasons and it washes up/dries in the machine. So far, I've worn this around my neighborhood, but I'm excited to have it for for hiking, snowshoeing, etc. this winter. The fit is great (my typical US size) and it's very comfortable!
