Customer Reviews Western Rise Strong Core Hoodie Sweater

I tried this on as potential new travel hoodie. The construction was great and the Merino felt premium. I felt it was a bit too heavyweight for a travel companion. If I traveled to colder climates I would certainly bring this with me. The cut on the neck was a little odd hence the 4 stars, it might work for someone else though.

I'm not big on sweaters, but I decided to try this out during the year-end sale and haven't regretted it for the price, merino wool reinforced with nylon after all. It's nice to layer with the AirLoft Shirt Jacket and is compact in my backpack when I haven't needed it for this winter.

While I want to love this with all of my heart, the sizing seems a bit off...I received the XL version of the SCMWH for Christmas and after trying it on, it was a bit small and so I went with a XXL. After trying that on, it fit quite a bit smaller than I excepted (for a XXL anyway), particularly in terms of length. My wife thinks it'll shrink after washing it, but In general I freaking love the style and comfort, so decided to roll the dice and hope for the best. Maybe the odor resistance will minimize the amount of washing (and potential shrinkage), but we shall see!

I really enjoy wearing this. It's just light enough for Hawaii's humid weather. The only thing I'm not a fan of is scraggly feeling you get from the wool. I know it's wool it's understandable but I thought itd be a bit softer

I ordered a medium, which is a size down from my usual but it fits great (6"5', 200lbs). However, I struggle getting my head through the opening. There doesn't seem to be any stretch to the "collar" and I can sometimes feel it while wearing it. I love how it looks and breathes, so I can overlook a little discomfort in the off/on department.
