I purchased this hoodie last year in my quest to find the best hoodie on the market, and I must say I am not disappointed! A year on, I have worn this hoodie quite a bit as a replacement for a jacket in the fall and winter, mostly for casual purposes, but also when working outside or working on my RV, I just give it a quick wash and it looks brand new.
Warmth - From a warmth perspective, I live in PA and while it doesn't get crazy cold here, we do get a few weeks where its at or below zero, and this hoodie kept me warm on many a cold morning.
Comfort - The inside is super soft and comfortable, you could wear this without a shirt underneath. The outside feels durable and tough, but still feels good when you touch it, its not "soft" per say, but it has a great texture.
Sizing - I take a 3XL t shirt, but sadly, Origin doesn't offer these in 3xl. However, I decided to take a chance and go with the 2XL. Initially out of the package, I didn't like the fit. It felt really snug aound the midsection and in the shoulders and I almost returned it. I am glad I didn't. After wearing it a bit and breaking it in, it got a little roomier and is now a perfect fit. As intended, it replaced a jacket with a much more comfortable option, and in most cases it replaced my heavy winter coat as well.
Pockets, Zippers, and Stuff - So I REALLY wanted an OG Heavy Hoodie, but they weren't available last year when I was looking to buy, and Origin released the Heavy Half Zip. Normally I can't stand…

Wow, what an incredible and thorough review! We're absolutely thrilled to hear that THE HEAVY HALF ZIP HOODIE has become such a reliable go-to piece for you over the past year. It's fantastic that it's been able to replace both your jacket and heavy winter coat for those cold PA mornings - that versatility and warmth is exactly what we designed it for.
Your feedback about the sizing is really valuable and we're so glad you stuck with it through the break-in period. It sounds like you found that perfect sweet spot where it's doing exactly what you wanted - providing serious warmth and comfort while being much more comfortable than a traditional jacket.
We love hearing that the half zip design won you over, especially since you were initially skeptical! And your detailed thoughts on everything from the pocket functionality to the hood fit are incredibly helpful. Your point about the pocket openings and the drawstring suggestion for the hood are great insights that we'll definitely pass along to our design team.
Thanks for the honest feedback about sizing options too - that's something we're always evaluating. Most importantly, we're stoked that this hoodie has proven to be built to last and is working so well for everything from casual wear to working on your RV. Thanks for being part of the Origin family!

This thing is a beast. Unfortunately, I returned it. The hood is massive. I felt like Kermit the frog in that black cloak meme. The Origin logo was sewed on crooked. The XL fit like a L. Earlier this year I ordered the Kilo Lite hoodie in XL and it fit like an XXL. I have the Nanorip shorts, Vrsa Lite shorts, Delta Work Jeans and last week got a pair of Moab pants. None of them fit the same. The jeans are the only thing that’s seem to be true to size. I sent the Moab pants back. So now I’m out $20 in shipping tween the hoodie and the Moab pants because Origin can’t seem to decide on what size is what. I would love to keep buying these products but I’m not paying shipping so I can play guessing games with the sizes. Origin, pick a format and stick with it.

I replaced my worn out carhart hoodie with this one. Super warm, cumfy, made here, and I get compliments on it from my wife to my coworkers. I'm 5'10" and 170lbs. Large fits well. The fabric is tough, truly meant for work.

This is a great hoodie. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that it's shorter than the other hoodies origin makes. Normally the same size in other hoodies goes below the belt line and this one lands slightly about the belt line. Still a great hoodie though.
