The heavyweight zip hoodies are seriously too hot unless it's near freezing. I don't think they make the midweight zips anymore. I only have 2 old ones. They are on the bigger size. Meant for layering. Answer from Steiney1 on reddit.com

Rain defender quarter zip
I have the Rain Defender Loose Fit Heavyweight Quarter-Zip sweatshirt without the hood, which has been discontinued. I’ve worn it for construction work for five winters and it’s been washed countless times. Surprisingly, light rain still beads on the surface of the sweatshirt. I’ve had very few issues with the zipper touching or rubbing on my neck, but I usually have the zipper either all the way down or all the way up. I don’t know if Carhartt ever puts them on sale, but Black Friday and Cyber Monday would be the time if it ever does. They do have discounts for first responders, military, and nursing staff though.

r/malefashionadvice on Reddit: Alternatives to Carhartt Heavyweight Hoodie?
September 27, 2024 -

Was thinking about getting the Carhartt heavyweight rain defender quarter zip hoodie after seeing it recommended all around on posts from 2-9 years ago, but stumbled onto a ton of far more recent posts and discussions (less than a year old) that all talked about how lots of Carhartt clothing, including the hoodie that interested me, had taken a nosedive in quality over the last while. A lot of people who, like me, didnt do any physical labour for work were also complaining about clothing wearing out within a year to a few months.

Im wondering if there are any similar plain-ish hoodies available for guys that are specifically:

  • Heavy/Warm (for winter in the UK, so around 0°C/32°F and up)

  • Comfy. I'll be wearing it at home as well as out and about.

-Preferrably under £70, but up to £100 if really good value.

-A large hood, with plenty of room. I hate hoodies where the hood barely gets within an inch or two of my hairline

-Good quality/durability. The Carharrt hoodie I was after was very well reviewed, but recent ones were far more negative

Im british, and not hugely picky about where it's from/made, as long as it's good quality. Any suggestions would be welcome!

It's that time of the year and I'm looking for recommendations for hoodies that can handle this job for more than a season. Hoodie can get pretty pricey but don't hold up very well so any reliable brand or material to look for would be appreciated.
