So....full zip hoodie or Pullover?

Which do you prefer and why?

I will Always take a pullover if I can. In fact i almost hate full zip more than I hate denim jeans. I do own two full zips for work fwiw though and 1 is a more fleece/polyester which is fine but cotton versions just seem to be ill fitting all the time or the sides always poke you if not fully zipped. Plus npound for pound the pullover is warmer.
Pullovers on the otherhand are just cozy and comfy and when you sit they don't do that weird thing that the zippered ones do which is protrude out in the belly region(due to the zipper).

So thoughts, prayers? ....what is your preference?
 
pullover - it's gotta have the single front pocket to really be a hoodie, IMO. I would wear it with jeans though..
 
I like em both cause Alabama weather is so variable.
Sometimes you need the ventilation or convenience that the zipper provides but I agree the pullovers fit better and are generally more comfortable. Zippered ones tend to be more utilitarian, like as an emergency layer to keep in reserve in the car. Or if you need a layer but plan to take it on and off, like to go outside for a short bit while at home..

Whereas a nice pullover would be something you’d put on for the day.

I only wear zip up hoodies. Pisses me off when a band is selling a hoody with great art for $65 and it’s a cheap pullover.

But my favorite sweatshirt is the American Giant Moto. It’s cut like a jacket with no hood but it’s made out of heavy cotton.
 
Normally, I do not wear a hoodie. I have one that gets used once or twice a year. Maybe.
I don’t wear sweaters either.
 
I don't even own a hoodie. In fact, thinking about it, I have not owned one for a long time (we are talking decades here).
 
Reminds me. Need to get to Walmart for a couple new sets of cheap sweatpants/sweatshirts/ hoodies.
Mine are getting pretty ragged out, havnt replenished in 2-3 years.
Thats like my around the house uniform in the winter.

that's what the all cotton Arborwear one I listed above is 13 oz cotton (they also make a super heavy 24 oz one :eek: but the 13 oz one I'm on year three at work and that's 5 days a week and washing every week, snagging on sharp metal, oil soaked....it keeps going. It just has a bit of wear on the cuffs and stains.The nice thing is at that weight it's really a coat really, i mean it blocks wind and it's good into the low 30's
 
Hoodies? I don't wear hoodies. I thought we were talking about sweaters. I love my full-zip sweaters just like my homie, Mr. Rogers, wore.

Flamencology was talking about sweaters...the rest of us were on to sweatshirts with hoods aka "hoodies". Fred was the OG...the real deal :thu:
 
Zip front please. I have really fine hair and using a pullover is a weird exercise in static electrical discharges.

You should try living in the dry desert in winter…constant electrical shocks take place. I bought a new creeper last year, one of those plastic type ones and I was getting hard shocks every time I would lay on it and touch the underside of a car……so much that I had to trade it back into the tool guy.

I have and like both.
Probably have more zip ups at this point because I get them pretty cheap through work. They fit and wear better than any of the more trad zip ups I’ve had in the past.

It’s the same material as a
Hoodie but zips up in the front. It’s my first layer in the fall. Will put a long sleeve flannel under it later then add a coat over both as winter progrsses.
