Yes! We've got sizes to fit everyone. With its relaxed fit and pre-shrunk design, our THE KILO LITE HOODIE is perfect for anyone looking for a comfortable, everyday wear.
The hoodie fits well and keeps me warm. The hood is bigger that the The Kilo Hoodie which I also own. I prefer this bigger hood for cold and rainy days. It's a bit looser off the body(not oversized) which makes it easier to move and work with.
One issue I have with the hoodie is that it sheds. I've washed it once and it is still shedding. Not sure why that is. Hopefully with other washes it will stop the shedding.
Other than that, the hoodie is exceptional priced, American made, and worth every penny. It's amazing what you get, many companies cut corners to give you a mediocre item, but Origin gives you quality which I love.
I would buy it again and recommend it to anyone looking for a sturdy warm hoodie. Thanks again.

Thanks for being a returning customer and for your detailed feedback on the Kilo Lite Hoodie! It’s great to hear the fit and oversized hood are hitting the mark for your mobility and protection on the job.
We sincerely appreciate you flagging the shedding issue you experienced after the first wash. This insight is incredibly valuable as it helps us monitor how our fabrics behave during initial cycles and ensures we can keep refining our manufacturing processes.
Thank you for recognizing our commitment to American craftsmanship. We’re glad that despite the shedding, the warmth and construction quality are meeting the high standards you've come to expect from Origin.
I own four different Kilo Lite hoodies. The foxtrot, sage, and heather are great fits and excellent colors.
The 'relic' - the real color is yellow like a squash, not yellow like mustard. It lost its shape after one washing, and pilled right away.
Joe, owning four different Kilo Lite hoodies really shows your confidence in what this piece delivers across the board. That feedback about the foxtrot, sage, and heather hitting those excellent colors and great fits is exactly what we engineer into every Kilo Lite.
Thanks for taking the time to share the real-world feedback about how different colorways are performing for you. That insight helps us understand what the Origin family is experiencing across our entire Kilo Lite lineup. We will pass this information along to our production team to ensure consistency across colors.
Thanks for being part of the Origin family and providing us with this information, as we're always in the process of improvement!
I finally had the funds to get my first piece of Origin gear and I went with the Kilo Lite while it was on sale. First, the hoodie feels great and I really want to support the company and their goals. I was hoping the hoodie would feel a little more rugged, but I think the heavier Kilo would probably remedy that based on the descriptions. Size felt good. If I’d gone a size up it might have looked baggy on me, but I think a large for me at 5’10”/~250 looks good to me and my wife.
This was still an expensive purchase for me, even while it was discounted 20%. I’m hoping as the company continues to grow and economy of scale comes to them that the costs will come down in the future to help lower the barrier to entry. This won’t be my one and only purchase as I do want to save up for a pair of the Coronado Hybrid(?) boots in the future. One day…
Keep up the meaningful work, y’all.
Welcome to the Origin family, Allan! There's something really special about that first piece of Origin gear, and it sounds like the Kilo Lite is treating you well. You nailed the sizing too—that fit you're describing is exactly what the Kilo Lite is designed for, and it's great that both you and your wife are happy with how it looks.
You're absolutely right about the regular Kilo if you're looking for that more rugged feel—it's got that heavier weight construction that really delivers on durability while the Lite gives you that perfect everyday comfort you're experiencing now.
We really appreciate your patience with the investment aspect. Building quality gear the right way takes time, but your support means everything as we work toward making Origin accessible to more people who share these values. Those Coronado Hybrids will be worth the wait when you're ready—they're built with the same attention to detail you're feeling in that hoodie.
Thanks for believing in what we're doing, Allan. That support fuels everything we build.
This is the most comfortable sweatshirt I have ever worn. I will be buying more. American quality and craftsmanship. I also purchased a belt several weeks ago. I couldn't be happier.
That's exactly what we built the Kilo Lite Hoodie to deliver, Dan! When we say "lite," we're talking about the weight, but never the comfort or quality. It sounds like you're experiencing that perfect balance of softness and durability that comes from American craftsmanship.
It's awesome to hear you're already planning your next purchase—and that the belt from a few weeks back is still hitting the mark too. There's something special about gear that just works, day in and day out.
Thanks for the 5-star review and for supporting American-made quality!
The fit and feel is great. I bought two of these and they both completely pilled after 3 washes. I like it but don’t think I’ll buy another due to this problem.
Hi Trevor,
Thanks for the honest feedback about THE KILO LITE HOODIE and for sharing your experience with both hoodies over the past few washes! We're glad to hear that you're appreciating the fit and feel of the hoodies themselves.
We sincerely appreciate you bringing up the pilling after just 3 washes on both hoodies. Your feedback about the fabric durability concerns gives us valuable insight into how our hoodie material is performing during the wash cycle and daily wear, especially when customers are experiencing consistent issues across multiple pieces.
Thank you for your valuable input about the specific fabric durability and pilling issues, alongside your positive feedback about the fit and comfort. This helps us focus on evaluating our fabric construction and wash performance to ensure we're delivering the long-term durability that matches the comfort and fit you're experiencing with the hoodies!
