Westcomb Men's Ozone Hoody

This is the first time I've tried something made with Power Stretch Pro, and the first time I've tried something from Westcomb, and I have to say, I'm a new fan of both. The material is somewhat thick, feels spongy, and is very stretchy (as the name implies). My main use for this hoody is in cold air-conditioned rooms, and for this it excels. The outer face of the material doesn't pill (I sleep with this!), and amazingly, doesn't gather lint or dirt. The inner material is fleece, and while not super plush and sometimes a little scratchy, it was never too much, and always comfortable. The material does not block wind at all, and this is perfect since it makes the hoody very breathable. In windy conditions I would wear a windshirt on the outside to cut the wind chill. Problem solved.The fit for the Large is just right for me (5' 10", 220lbs, 44" chest). The sleeves are very long and bunch up at the wrists, but when the thumb loops are used, the length becomes just right. Even when the arms are raised straight up there is no pulling of the sleeves. The hood and hem is minimalist and has no elastic or cinch cord, but the fit was again just right so I did not miss those things. The stretchiness of the material kept things nice and snug. I can fit a long-sleeve T-shirt as a base layer under the hoody but anything thicker and it would be too snug.The hand pockets on the outside has no zippers, just the way I like it since zippers can scratch things. On the inside there are 2 large pockets (at the same position as the outside pockets; I suppose they are for hand warmers?), also without zippers, and which I will use if I'm afraid things might fall out of the outside pockets.Speaking of zippers, I generally avoid double zippers since they can be fiddly to use due to the bottom zipper moving out of position. The large, smooth double zipper on the Ozone is as easy to use as a single zipper because the bottom zipper "click" into position and doesn't move unless you move it. The top zipper pull has a loop of paracord attached so you won't confuse it with the bottom zipper pull. Sure, I can attach paracord to zipper pulls myself, but I appreciate these little attention to detail.Normally, I hate logos on clothing, but the 2 red logos on the black Ozone are low-key enough that I do not mind. They serve the useful function of telling me which part of the hoody i'm looking at when I want to wear it. If there's one thing I don't like about the hoody, it has to be the price. Buy once, cry once, as the saying goes. Well, no, actually, I didn't cry at all. I am actually very happy with this outstanding hoody.

Excellent garment with surprising warmth for a synthetic fleece. The fabric is very soft and comfortable. The only additional recommendation would be to have zips on hand pockets to secure valuables such as keys. Congratulations to Westcomb again!Regards,Anthony
