this is an EXCELLENT hoodie. Very warm without being heavy and bulky and the colors are rich. i live in the Finger Lakes region of NY state and winters are long and cold and damp and dark. i live in hoodies from November through May so i am a bit of a hoodie connoisseur. This JGB hoodie is the BEST. This is not the first piece of apparel i have purchased from Garcia Family Provisions - the quality is phenomenal.
